The controversial chat show of Karan Johar Koffee With Karan’s season 8 recently ended with a bang. This time it saw celebs like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda making their debut. However, everyone was waiting to see the Badshah of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan.
Meanwhile, Karan Johar has now talked about Shah Rukh’s possibility of appearing in KWK’s new season. Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Karan said: “I’m hoping that we can do something solid with Shah Rukh Khan in the next season because he’s been such a huge part of the show. Every time he’s appeared, he’s been magical. So I’m hoping that but there are so many more people that I still would love to get on the show.”
Notably, SRK has appeared in many seasons of Koffee With Karan. Further, Karan also indicated that he also wants Ranbir Kapoor on the next season of KWK 8. “It was 12 episodes so we were restricted by calling not more than 26 people. Ranbir Kapoor, of course, teases me and says that he won’t come on Koffee With Karan ever. I’ll try and convince him for the next season,” said the filmmaker.
Meanwhile, Gauri Khan who visited the show made SRK a part of the latest KWK episode via a phone call. The interior designer was participating in the game rounds with her girlfriends Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Pandey. As per the Koffee With Karan tradition this year, Karan Johar asked the trio to make calls to celebrities in the industry and ask them to say ‘Hey Karan, it’s me.’
Gauri did not think twice before dialing Shah Rukh’s number. King Khan got on the call with her and won her six points with his simple, “Hi Karan, how are you?” Soon after SRK’s statement, an excited Karan informed Shah Rukh that he helped his wife win six points on the show.
During the episode, Gauri confessed that being Shah Rukh Khan’s wife has adversely impacted her. “When considering a new project, there are some people who consider me a designer. But there are also times when it does not work out that way because at times, sometimes people do not want to get attached to the baggage of working with Shah Rukh Khan’s wife. It works against me 50% of the time,” she said.
