In a first-time pairing on the 'KWK' couch, Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani transcend the conventional norms of celebrity talk shows. The duo, who previously shared screen space in 'Govinda Naam Mera', bring a refreshing dynamic to the show, promising viewers an episode that is bound to be a riot of laughter and camaraderie.
Recent teasers for Koffee with Karan Season 8 were released, revealing the guest lineup that will be seen on the Koffee couch in the forthcoming episodes. This season's lineup features four new pairs of guests, including Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn
The Big Guest Reveal
Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani
While the season's "The Big Guest Reveal" has most of its guests revealed, it seems like not all guests have been revealed, as reportedly, Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani shot an episode in YRF Studios on November 16.
The pair from the film Govinda Naam Mera has never shared the KWK couch together, and according to the sources of IndiaToday "This episode is going to be a riot as the duo had a lot of fun on the sets."
Kiara Advani appeared in Season 7 of the show with her Kabir Shahid Kapoor, while Vicky Kaushal graced the couch twice with Kiara Advani's husband Siddharth Malhotra last season and with Ayushmann Khurrana in earlier seasons.
Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor
Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor recently collaborated on a commercial shoot and expressed their desire to work together in a film, leading to a surge of fan requests for Johar to cast them in a project. Kapoor acknowledges the responsibility rests with Johar, and now he's brought them together, albeit only to share the Koffee couch.
In a brief preview of the episode in the new promo, Kapoor playfully tells Bhatt that she's a "director's actor," prompting Johar’s humorous response, "You're no one's actor. You're your own actor."
Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday
Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday were rumored to appear in the next episode, and the promo offers a glimpse of their interaction. During the Rapid Fire round, Johar asks Khan what one thing Ananya has that she doesn't, to which she responds, "A Night Manager," referring to Aditya Roy Kapur's popular show on Hotstar. Panday blushes and cryptically replies, "I'm feeling very Ananya 'Coy' Kapur."
Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn
Johar invited fellow filmmaker Rohit Shetty and his Singham Again actor Ajay Devgn after they collaborated on new instalments of Rohit's cop universe. In the promo, Devgn recalls his past rivalry with Johar, especially during the 2016 Ae Dil Hai Mushkil vs. Shivaay clash.
Rani Mukerji and Kajol
Cousins Rani Mukerji and Kajol, who first appeared together on the premiere episode of Season 2 alongside Shah Rukh Khan, are returning. While Shah Rukh isn't scheduled to appear on the Koffee couch this season, Rani and Kajol will make up for their Kuch Kuch Hota Hai co-star's absence. In the promo, both actors are seen teasing Johar, with Kajol asserting that 'humble' is not his middle name' and Mukerji promising to expose him.
The initial two episodes showcased celebrity guests Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol. Fans can anticipate a new episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8 to be released on Disney+ Hotstar every Thursday at midnight.
