In October last year, talks for the fourth season of the celebrity chat show, Koffee With Karan, with producer-director Karan Johar were initiated. Then in December, the host had admitted that he was approached by Star World to anchor the show. But he had refused to comment on when it was likely to return. Now, the 39-year-old says, “Koffee will be back in June. We don’t have a fixed date yet, but I’m on schedule and we’ll roll soon.”
Koffee with KaranThe show is expected to take up the 9 pm slot on Sunday, soon after the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League comes to an end. “Right now, I’m working on Student Of The Year. We’re through with most of it. I’m extremely excited about this film because I’m launching new faces for the first time as a director. It should be out by September this year,” says Karan, adding with a laugh, “And who knows, by then my newbies — Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt — may have become celebrities. Then, even they will qualify to be my guests.”
Koffee With Karan season three ended on April 17 last year, after a broadcast of about 22 fresh episodes and a few repeats. Back then, Karan had stated that he had no interest in anchoring the show again.
He had said, “We should just leave Koffee With Karan where it is. Every show must have a finite run, and should end on a great note. We’ve had three successful seasons. Instead of doing season four, I’d like the audience to remember me as the host of three unforgettable editions.”
But now, the filmmaker admits he’s charged and ready to return to the small screen, as the channel has been inundated with requests to bring the show back.
“It’s humbling. Once I’m through with the shoot for Student Of The Year, I’ll start working on the guest-list for this season,” he says, adding, “I haven’t seen too many new stars. So, more or less, it will be the same faces, maybe in different combinations, because they’re all my friends and colleagues. The Koffee hamper will be back too, but I can promise we’ll devise a new format this time.”

Paris Hilton to sip 'koffee' with Karan
Paris Hilton who is all set to visit India next month, will also make an appearance on Karan Johar's popular show Koffee with Karan, reports a news daily. The filmmaker-host would be making an exception for Hilton as the fourth season of the show has already been wrapped up.
He has spoken to the producers and they are more than happy to grab the opportunity.
Johar Reportedly, the hotel heiress wanted her interview to be special and asked her agents to look for an appropriate show. Since Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan is one of the biggest celeb shows in India, Hilton's agents contacted Johar.
However, there is no official statement so far.
If this works out, it would be the first international celeb appearance on Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan.

No Koffee for KJo, Salman
Karan Johar is shooting his finale episode of Koffee With Karan. And it won't be Salman Khan as planned. KJo has decided that much as he wants the actor on that couch, he doesn't want to pay him to be a guest on his chat show.
Says a friend of the filmmakers, "He is happy to give any amount of money to Salman's charity, but he doesn't want it to be a condition for him to come on the show.

Salman to appear in KJo's show
Karan Johar is wooing Salman Khan. And has succeeded to an extent. It is learnt that the actor has agreed to be part of Karan's TV show in its third season.
The last time KJo asked him to sit on the infamous couch, the actor said he would do it only if he was given Rs 50 lakh for his charity foundation. The My Name Is Khan director told him that the channel wouldn't pay but he would be happy to shell out the money from his own pocket. However, the talks fizzled out.
Now KJo who is shooting the final few episodes for this season, asked Salman for the last time if he would appear on the show, and the temperamental actor said he would do it, and also gave temporary dates for the shoot, either 30th or 31st March. Apparently, Karan and the channel have donated over Rs 50 lakh to Salman's charity foundation. Incidentally, no other guest on the show has been paid for making an appearance.
According to sources, the filmmaker has also offered a role to the actor, which he is considering. This is interesting because so far Khan who lives in Galaxy has been wary of Karan because of his friendship to the Khan who lives in Mannat. Now that the director has managed to get Sallu to say yes to the show, and a 'maybe' to the film, next step is a patch between the warring Khans? Let's hope so.

Why is no one having coffee with Karan?
TV Channel will have to resort to re-runs, as Johar ponders over who to invite for the last few episodes of this season
Koffee with Karan, the popular television chat show is in a bit of a crisis. About five episodes are still left to be shot for this season, but there is nothing in the bank to fall back on. Insiders blame Karan Johar's constant visits to New York that has pushed them behind schedule, but sources reveal that Johar is also out of ideas on whom to invite for the few remaining shows.
The channel which hosts the show might now play re-runs of episodes.
According to a source in the film industry, the problem of not having enough episodes shot beforehand has arisen out of two reasons.
The source said, "It isn't only because of Johar's frequent foreign visits. He has also brought together almost every conceivable pair of guests on the show. When he invited Amitabh Bachchan, he got daughter Shweta to come along. And when Madhuri Dixit came on the show, she was paired with Sonakshi Sinha. But now Johar is out of ideas. He can get anyone he wants. But he is unsure of how to make them appear fresh and untried on the show."
Sources reveal that after Johar got Ajay Devgn to appear on the show, he is convincing Salman Khan to make an appearance. Dharmendra is apparently being wooed to come along with Hema Malini. Imran Khan and his wife are likely to be guests too in what will be their first interview as a couple.
"I'm not confirming any names till I have recorded episodes with them. Yes, I went to NY and we ran out of episodes. But I have a life beyond Koffee With Karan. I have a script to write and a film to direct. There will be some re-runs till I record fresh episodes," Johar said.
Meanwhile, Johar's frequent visits to NY have sparked off rumours that he is dating someone in the city. When asked Johar said, "Yes I have a secret love in NY. I love the city itself. Nowadays I romance places not people."
The director also confirmed that he will take a break from the chat show for at least two years. "I'm done with Koffee and my other extra-curricular activities for now. In case people have forgotten, I'm a filmmaker."

Ajay gets candid over a Koffee With Karan
Koffee was the beverage that got the usually reticent Ajay Devgn to spill the beans on not just his movies, but also his life with Kajol, making for one steaming hot episode of Karan Johar's chat show.
The Big D got candid about how Kajol wasn't interested in him when they first met, and how she's now come a long way from the girl who couldn't care less to being a jealous wife.
But while the much married actor appears to be loving the state of matrimony, his advice to B-Town It Couple, Saif and Kareena, was not to get married - a comment he later dismissed as a joke.
We usually get to see Ajay Devgn's lighter side on the big screen and we're thrilled at the chance to catch a glimpse of it closer to real life. The episode is sure to be one of the highlights of Koffee With Karan's current, very controversial season - that is, as long as it's not subjected to a heavy job.

Ajay Devgn, KJo make up over coffee
Ajay Devgan and filmmaker Karan Johar had some candid conversation...
There was news that Ajay Devgn didn't fit well in the KJo-SRK camp, and in fact didn't even approve of it. But hatchets seem to have been buried...
Apparently, Karan Johar was eager to have Ajay Devgn on his show ' Koffee with Karan' as a guest, and had extended an invitation to him even last season and the season before last as well. But Ajay Devgn declined the offers. However, Karan Johar extended an invitation to him once again to appear on his chat show this season, and Ajay Devgn has gladly accepted.
So it was only recently that the two bonded over coffee on KJO's chat show. It has been learnt that Karan was keen to have Kajol and Ajay Devgn together on his show, but Kajol reverted that she was busy with mommy duties, but did mention that she would try and get her hubby Ajay to participate on the show.
Ajay wasn't too comfortable with the 'controversy-creating' format of the show. Also, he is an introvert and not very media savvy. However, Kajol and Karan together convinced him that they wouldn't indulge in gossip, but rather concentrate on his 20-year successful career in the industry.
Ajay proved to be a great guest on Karan's 'Koffee with Karan'. In fact, even Karan noticed that Devgn had a brilliant sense of humour, and insists that the Rapid Fire round is one to watch out for.

Sonakshi to accompany Madhuri at Koffee With Karan!
It is every Bollywood actresses’ desire to share the couch with the dancing diva Madhuri Dixit.
This was best seen when Karan wanted an actress to accompany Madhuri Dixit on his celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan.
Karan told a tabloid “I can’t say I’m amazed by Madhuri’s popularity. When I decided to invite her on my show I didn’t know that her popularity seeps down right to the youngest of Bollywood.”
Buzz is in the air that ‘Dabangg’ girl Sonakshi Sinha may be the lucky girl to accompany Madhuri on Karan’s show.

Hrithik shoots back at Salman
On his 'happy' birthday a few days ago, Hrithik Roshan was truly exultant.
He seemed to be blissfully content and in a mood to forgive and forget, which is why he reacted to Salman Khan calling him a "child", in an oddly calm tone. Hrithik said, "Salman must have said it with affection. And I don't think there is anything wrong in being a child," (Mumbai Mirror, January 10, 2011).
But things are not always what they seem on the surface. Hrithik's passivity was, as it appears, only a garb. Recently, Hrithik and his wife Sussanne shot with Karan Johar for an episode of Koffee with Karan.
On the show, Hrithik shot back at Sallu by saying, "Salman thinks that the world is conspiring against him, but that's not true. We all love him." He further added, "I don't want to use this as a medium to comment on Salman."
Naturally, a few things between the two actors are still not over and buried. We wonder what Sallu has to say about Hrithik's latest comment but unfortunately, both Duggu and he did not revert on this. Call it instinct, but Sallu just might. So, watch this space for more.

Farah, Imtiaz, Raju Hirani & KJo have a blast on Koffee With Karan
What happens when Bollywood's top four directors sit down to chat over some coffee? They talk movies, obviously! But when the cup of coffee is served in Karan Johar's den, secrets come tumbling out. This is exactly what happened when Karan Johar had 3 of today's most successful directors namely Imtiaz Ali, Farah Khan and Raju Hirani as special guests on his popular talk show 'Koffee With Karan'. The episode which airs this coming Sunday (Oct 28) promises a lot of fun and we bring you a sneak peek at what you can expect from the show.
Karan and Farah have been known to be close friends for many years and it was but natural that Karan had no reservations at all in pulling Farah's leg at every possible instance. It may be recalled that the choreographer turned director and mother of three is known to have had a tiff with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan couldn't resist asking her about it. Karan even asked her about her supposed fall-out with Shah Rukh Khan (with whom she has had two huge hits in the form of Main Hoon Naa and Om Shanti Om) to which Farah replied, "I pray for Shah Rukh's success every day".
Imtiaz Ali may be a man of few words but that didn't stop Karan from asking him some tricky questions in his own inimitable style. When asked who he would like to work with again- Shahid or Saif-, Imtiaz's answer was Saif. Also when prodded who he thinks is his biggest competitor among the contemporary directors, Imtiaz took the name of Anurag Basu.
Finally it was Rajkumar Hirani's turn to face a volley of questions from Karan and the director answered it all with his million dollar smile intact throughout. Karan decided to put him in a tight spot and asked him who he considered to be the biggest Khan. Raju in his own unique and witty way replied, "Farah Khan". Hirani also spoke about the Chetan Bhagat controversy which erupted post the release of 3 Idiots.
It's seldom that four of the country's top directors come together. But when they do, as they did on 'Koffee With Karan', it makes for compelling viewing.

Ranbir Kapoor reacts to Deepika’s condom comment
Deepika Padukone raised many a brow with her unabashedly frank comment about gifting Ranbir Kapoor, her ex boyfriend, a pack of condoms. Ranbir now says he happily endorses her view.
The comment was made on Karan Johar’s show Koffee With Karan and that is why it made such news. Though Deepika later clarified that the comment was tongue in cheek, Ranbir says he didn’t mind it one bit.
At the Teacher’s Achievement Awards held in Mumbai, Ranbir was asked to react to Deepika’s comment.
“I think she said a good thing. Our country should be aware of safe sex and condom is a means to that. And thank you for that,” Ranbir said.
(Apunkachoice)
He did not stop at that and went ahead to wish Deepika good luck for her upcoming film.
“Best of luck for Break Ke Baad. It seems really nice...you and Imran are a great couple. Looking forward to see the film,” Ranbir added.

Condom comment about Ranbir was tongue-in-cheek: Deepika Padukone
The media has admittedly gone overboard in hyperbolizing an apparently innocuous comment made by Deepika Padukone on Karan Johar’s show Koffee With Karan.In the rapid-fire round on the show hosted by Karan Johar, some of Deepika’s replies were surprising to both the host and the co-guest Sonam Kapoor. When asked what Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika’s ex, should do, Deepika quipped: “Endorse a condom brand.”
The comment was perceived in different ways by the media, with some linking it to Ranbir’s ‘philandering’ ways, while others to Deepika’s grouse against her ex.
Actually, it may be neither. Deepika says in an interview that the comment was made tongue-in-cheek and need to be taken in light vein.
“It's all in good humour. It's not targeted at anybody...there is no negativity towards anyone. People need to have a sense of humour. If I go and sit quietly and be politically correct, it would have been so boring,” said Deepika who is quite surprised at all the brouhaha over her comment.

Karan Johar wants to have 'Koffee' with Aamir
Director Karan Johar, who is coming up with the third season of Koffee with Karan, said he would be honoured to bring and interview superstar Aamir Khan in his popular talk show. "I had a chat with Aamir. I am trying to have him in this season. I think Aamir has proven his mettle as a filmmaker, actor and as a personality I think we should all be really proud of. Aamir conceptually has said that we would do it but we are yet to figure out a date and a schedule. It would be my honour to interview Aamir Khan," Karan told reporters here on Friday.
For the first time, actor couple Abhishek and Aishwarya would be appearing in any talk show together after their marriage.
"It was a great to have Abhi and Ash, there are my friends only. After their marriage, it's their first appearance together in a talk show. There were many things that I wanted to know, which I think audience would love to know because they are really one of the royal couple of Bollywood," said Karan.
Stories were making rounds that estranged couple actor Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra would appear together in the show, but Karan rubbished the speculations showering praise on their acting skills.
"There is a media conjecture but I haven't spoken to them (Shahid and Priyanka). They are great couple on screen. I would say Kaminey was a fantastic film and Shahid and Priyanka are big reason for that. I would love to have Shahid and Priyanka together," said Karan.
Karan maintains that he wouldn't take advantage of his personal rapport with the stars to unravel their secrets beyond a certain level.
"I never offend any of my guests. I try to make them feel comfortable as I invite them to my show. Yes, some sequences are revealed, some fun conversation happened but I don't think anything is offensive," said Karan.
"There are new enemies, new lovers and new controversies, so we will talk on that," he added.
Koffee with Karan would be aired on STAR World from Nov 7.

Will Kareena, Ranbir have Koffee With Karan?
The latest celebrity pair to be approached to appear together for season 3 of Koffee With Karan, according to sources, are famous cousins Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor
If Karan Johar manages this one, it will be nothing short of a coup. In many of her interviews, Kareena has been lamenting that she cannot be paired opposite the young hotshot actor because he is her cousin. Let’s hope she agrees to come on the show with him.
Meanwhile, buzz is that the coffee wall, a pre-dominant feature of the show in its first two seasons, will be completely done away with. It was on the wall that the celebs signed and deposited their coffee mugs. This time the makers are set to introduce something new and contemporary in its place.

Here is Koffee with Karan's guest list
The new season of Koffee ¦ will have KJo grabbing eyeballs with the guest list. Here are some of the biggies who are expected to feature on the show
Karan Johar begins shooting for a new season of Koffee With Karan this month-end. The chat show might just have stars that have been evading KJo (and missing the cool coffee hamper!).
The filmmaker has openly expressed his desire to have a cuppa with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan among others.
Guests who tend to be mono-syllabic, however, do not qualify to be on the sofa as he wants them to be at ease because only then will the candid talk flow.
This season the host is likely to fulfill his wish list. Here's why...
Aamir Khan
Mr Perfectionist is loosening up and is now game for a piping hot cuppa and the rapid fire round! B-Town has been taking notice of the recent bonding between Karan and Aamir. Eyebrows have been raised about this friendship because of KJo's proximity to Shah Rukh Khan and considering Aamir loves to take potshots at King Khan every chance he gets. In the past, when AK was approached, he had refused saying that guests say things that are frank and forthright. But now that he is at ease with the host, he does not mind. Last December, KJo did an interview with the actor for a men's mag. Karan was invited to Aamir's bash in honour of music director Gustavo Santaolalla. He also attended the Peepli [Live] music launch and Aamir and he chatted like long-lost friends!
Salman Khan
Mr Entertainer will not mince words and says things as he sees them, in his own inimitable style. Even though KJo is treading in territory that is clearly hostile to best buddy SRK, he is being a professional as viewers want to see and hear Sallu. In the past, Karan has stated that he is not averse to working with the Khan if an opportunity arises. And this time, it knocks over coffee. Considering that Sallu has already appeared on Lift Kara De that was also hosted by Karan, there should be no reservations this season. And the audience will wonder what he will have to say about SRK in the presence of Karan.
Akshay Kumar
KJo's closeness to his arch-rival Shah Rukh Khan kept Mr Khiladi away from the show. Add to this KJo's comments made during a debate at FICCI-Frames 2010. "What are these movies Akshay does? I don't understand them." Akki felt it was a bid to humiliate him. Though Karan explained and apologised to Khiladi Kumar for the statement, the actor was in no mood to forget. He initially turned down the Lift Kara De invite saying he was too busy. But over time, things changed and he shot for the show. With Karan being close to the Khans (except for one) he might as well bond with a Tees Maar Khan too. Perhaps Akshay will be seen on the show with biwi Twinkle!

Karan Johar begins shooting for a new season of Koffee With Karan this month-end. The chat show might just have stars that have been evading KJo (and missing the cool coffee hamper!).
The filmmaker has openly expressed his desire to have a cuppa with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan among others.
Guests who tend to be mono-syllabic, however, do not qualify to be on the sofa as he wants them to be at ease because only then will the candid talk flow.
This season the host is likely to fulfill his wish list. Here's why...

Aamir-Karan: Lunch then Koffee?
Aamir Khan and Karan Johar, who are in London currently, had lunch together a couple of days ago.
The filmmaker and the Bollywood superstar have been continuing with a series of meetings in recent times. Speculation has it that Aamir will be a guest on Karan's television show going on the floors next month. Well if that happens, it should come as no surprise.

What's brewing? - Koffee With Karan
Karan Johar will soon begin work on the third season of his popular chat show Koffee With Karan. The shooting begins in September this year and there are quite a few surprises and changes in the show. KJo promises that this year, the koffee will definitely taste spicier. Read on for your koffee fix...
Three changes in KWK this time?
We have been putting our heads together trying to make a few changes in the format. The segments will change along with new and interesting combinations. There will be a bit of shuffle in the format to make it edgier. KWK will also get a new set decor. Director Ravina Kohli (Kunal Kohli's wife) who had been directing the earlier episodes of KWK won't be with us this time and will be sorely missed.
What else?
The coffee mug which had been blue and green in the last two seasons, might go red this time...
To symbolise juicier content on the show?
I would prefer not to call it juicy or scandalous but rather intimate one-on-one conversations with actors. The mantra is going to be coupled with interesting couples. Also, this year, I am planning to get some interesting personalities from different fields, though the bulk of the people on the show will be from Bollywood, as it rates the highest.
Will you go in for a makeover, lookwise?
(sarcastically) Darling, I'm consulting my plastic surgeon for my new look on what should be done and am waiting for him to reply. Seriously speaking, I will look the same.
And black is going to be your colour of choice?
Unfortunately, for you, yes! Apart from black being my favourite colour, why not go black when it hides your curves? God made black for a reason. It's the best camouflage ever!
Will the coffee hamper change?
Yes, it's going to be jam-packed and worth fighting for. We will go beyond the chocolates, cheese and cookies. This time, the hamper will be filled with designer brands and plenty of gizmos. It will be a whopper and a big thing to win so anybody who sits on the fence won't get the hamper. And this time there will be a love note from me in it -- so let the hamper war begin!
What remains the same?
The producers of the show -- Sol and the channel Star World remain the same. One thing that won't change is the intimacy of the show -- chatting about the private sides of the two or three people on the show. And of course, Shah Rukh Khan. I can't do anything without him. He's my lucky mascot for movies and TV shows.
