Karan Johar Announces Final Season Of Koffee With Karan With An Emotional Message: ‘One Last Time’
Filmmaker Karan Johar has announced that the upcoming season of Koffee With Karan will be the last one for the show, leaving many of its fans upset. However, it looks like there is good news for everyone. A recent report said that the 54-year-old is working on a similar chat show.
As per Mid-Day, while there has been no official announcement about the new chat show, Karan Johar’s decision to end Koffee With Karan may be linked to his plans to launch another fresh chat show that will allow his banner to own the rights to the format.
While the details have been kept under wraps, and the platform, launch timeline and overall structure have not been disclosed, it has been claimed that the broad idea of how it will look is already in place.
Karan Johar Announces Final Season Of Koffee With Karan
In an emotionally charged announcement, Karan looked back at a journey that has been as unpredictable, irreverent and unforgettable as the show itself, acknowledging the controversies, conjecture, trolling and conversations that have followed Koffee With Karan, while also recognising the extraordinary love that has kept audiences returning to the couch year after year.
In the video, Karan Johar also revealed how his late father, Yash Johar, reacted to the idea of KWK when he first told him about it in 2004. “When I told my dad that I really want to host a talk show, I want to get two celebrities or stars and just have an informal candid chat with them, he looked at me and said: ‘Karan tum apne dosto ko bulaoge? Baate karoge? Jo tum roz karte ho. Uske tumhe kaun paise dega?” he said.
Karan Johar said in a statement, “There are some journeys you don’t plan to end, you simply know, somewhere deep within you, when it is time to let them go. Koffee With Karan has been an extraordinary part of my life. It has given me friendships, memories, moments of complete madness, a lot of love and, yes, its fair share of controversy! But through all of it, what has remained constant is the audience. They have laughed with us, debated us, trolled us, celebrated us and, most importantly, kept coming back for another cup. Saying goodbye is emotional, but it also feels right. This final season is my way of raising the mug one last time with gratitude, with love and with everyone who has made Koffee With Karan what it is. So, come have one last cup of Koffee with me. One last time.”
