Karan Johar finds hate for Koffee With Karan 'entertaining': 'Why they are cursing it so much, but also watching it?'

Filmmaker Karan Johar is back on the coffee couch! Season 7 of Koffee With Karan aired on Disney+ Hotstar and it is already set for eight episode with Kiara Advani and Shahid Kapoor. With the new season starting with a bang, one can expect many A-list celebrities from not just Bollywood but down South as well. The filmmaker recently talked about the unnecessary trolling that comes with the show, but he finds the hate entertaining sometimes.

Speaking to The Hindu, Karan Johar recently said, “So, I don’t know how much of the hate and trolling is actually about the show; it’s really more about the fact that a show like this exists, and has this kind of abandon. A lot of the hate sometimes is entertaining, because I wonder why they are cursing it so much, but also watching it? I read the threads on Twitter and other portals; reels and reels of discourse that people are having about KWK… and I feel very moved and touched. I’m like, that’s a lot of time you have taken out of your lives to write such a long column on something you hated so much.”

“I’ll be honest; I’m definitely not justifying anything to anyone, but I feel like I owe it to myself to talk about it. It’s cathartic for me. I feel sometimes, if I don’t talk about it, people may think that I’m actually still affected by it,” he said.

Koffee With Karan 7's last episode saw Vicky Kaushal and Sidharth Malhotra. The new season will see Kriti Sanon, Tiger Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan as guests. Gauri Khan, Aamir Khan, Maheep Kapoor, and Bhavana Pandey are also expected to appear.
