Koffee With Karan 7: Karan Johar addresses how Bollywood was vilified for two years; Ranveer Singh says it was baseless and unwarranted
Filmmaker Karan Johar is back on the coffee couch! Season 7 of Koffee With Karan aired on Thursday on Disney+ Hotstar with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani co-stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The two stars spoke about how their friendship came to be during Gully Boy, their married lives with their respective partners, and what it has been like the last two years during the pandemic. They also played the fun rounds of Koffee Bingo, Rapid Fire, and fun buzzer rounds.
Before kicking off the show, Karan Johar said that he wasn't expecting to return with a new season. Karan said, “Alia, you and I were just discussing that we never thought this would happen. I never thought I would come back.”
Alia responded, “Yeah. I didn’t think. I thought we are done. I was quite sad.” Ranveer remained clueless to which Karan replied, “We as an industry were vilified. We were put in the dungeon for two years. Even I went through a lot and it was not an easy time. And at that point of time, it was like the snake emojis used to come out every time Koffee with Karan was mentioned. And at one point I also thought that I am never going to come back with the show because there was a lot of attack."
The Jayeshbhai Jordaar actor said that the trolling and accusations were baseless, unfair, and unwarranted. Karan Johar agreed to it saying that it was faceless, nameless people saying things.
The new season of Koffee with Karan will see Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Akshay Kumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, Tiger Shroff, Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani, Ananya Panday, Vijay Deverakonda, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan as guests.
On the work front, Karan Johar is directing Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The film stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi. It is set to release on February 10, 2023.
