Koffee With Karan 7 just wrapped all its 12 episodes and the last episode was the Koffee Awards. This season saw some new talents gracing the couch and spilling beans about their personal and professional life. Many fans even thought that Karan Johar, the host of the show discussed a lot about celebrities’ sex lives. Some fans even highlighted that he mentioned Alia Bhatt multiple times on the show. In a recent interview, KJo addressed all the criticism he received on the show.
While speaking to Bollywood Hungama about Koffee With Karan, Karan Johar said this did phenomenally well. There was a time when he questioned himself for doing this show as a lit of things were written about him. However, he came back with the seventh season of the chat show. He was quoted saying, “I don't want to change my way of being because certain sections of people who have things to say. I want to do what pleases me. Doing Koffee With Karan makes me happy. The fact that it's done so phenomenally well for all the episodes that are out. Hotstar is thrilled and we're all as a team thrilled.”
The ‘My Name Is Khan’ director further spoke about the criticism he received for KWK7 about discussing sex life and mentioning Alia’s name. He asserted, “Of course, there was so much feedback coming in there like ‘Why is Karan talking so much about Alia?’ ‘Why does he talk so much about people's sex lives?’ And I'm like, actually, I don't think of these things. Maybe I'm curious about people's sex lives so I asked about them. Maybe I am very proud of Alia, and it comes out in every conversation of mine. So we have to police myself when I get that feedback. I read it.”
The head honcho of Dharma said that he is amused to see how people have all time to analyze a talk show and write columns about it. He stated, “But what amuses me is that they're wrong long columns people write and I'm like, ‘It's just a talk show, which is not even a cerebral talk show.’ It's a frivolous, fun talk show. But people have really analyzed it in long columns and I'm almost amused that they have all the time in the world to analyze the show. I wouldn't give it that much time. I don't know why they are.”
On the work front, the 50-year-old filmmaker has come back to directing after a long time for his upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The stellar cast includes Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. The film is slated to release next year.
