It is back with its fifth season, and yes, with a bang! 'Koffee With Karan' aired its very first episode on Sunday, which again brought numerous topics to grab the spotlight of the Bollywood-bug.
The premiere episode took us by storm as it saw the Badshaah of Bollywood and his 'Dear Zindagi' co-star Alia Bhatt, indulging in exciting conversation over a cup of 'koffee'.
So here's presenting some special moments from the premiere episode that you just can't ignore!
-SRK-Karan's bond: The last season sans Shah Rukh Khan had raised innumerable eyebrows pointing towards an alleged spat between him and Karan. KJo got to the point straight away and asked SRK why he didn't appear on his show last season to which the ever-so-witty King Khan humorously replied, "I wanted the TRPs to drop a little. I took it so high in the first time."
The 'Fan' star, adding to this, very diplomatically said, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' director has to justify his love for the star every time, like the latter has to justify his nationalism!
And then the topic stirred to the much-controversial and most talked-about area: their link up! Candidly of course, SRK asked Karan to finally release the pictures of them kissing!
-Alia's love life: For the longest time we have heard Alia Bhatt's link up with her 'Student of the Year' co-stars Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. Karan manages to get all upfront and discuses her love life on his show, to which the 'Highway' actress, sticking to her 'single' status, replied, "I never dated Varun. And I am not dating Sidharth either. I am dating none of them and I am single right now."
When Karan asked SRK if he knows who Alia is dating, Shah Rukh said, "I will be disappointed if there are 3 or 4."
-SRK invents a new word: Well, that's what the ruler of Bollywood's capabilities are! He knows how to put across his point with wordplay. The 'Dilwale' star said that the newer actors are unique because they can be "demotional" about their work. "They are just doing it, having fun. You get in that zone as a performing artistes, it's wonderful, detached but emotional- demotional," he said, which made Alia deliriously happy.
Explaining the term, SRK said that 'demotional' stands for detached with emotion.
-SRK-Salman: When there's a candid conversation with SRK, questions on the other Khan of Bollywood, Salman, is somewhat mandatory.
Karan asked what would Shah Rukh Khan's biopic be named and the actor said it should be called 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. And what about Salman Khan? "Kal ho na ho, meri phir bhi chalegi," making everyone laugh out loud!
-Rapid-fire: Last but not the least, sipping 'Koffee with Karan' is incomplete without playing the most-headline making round aka the rapid fire round.
From calling himself 'The Fourth Idiot' for declining '3 Idiots' to asking Ranveer where he got his padded underwear for 'Befikre' from and pulling Alia's leg for 'not' reading the newspaper, the 'Don 2' star continued to combat Karan's tricky questions effortlessly. As a result, he took the very alluring gift hamper back home.
The doting daddy dedicated the gift hamper to his daughter Suhana, who he says has been binge watching all previous seasons!
All in all, it is not wrong to say that something new is definitely brewing on the fifth season of 'Koffee with Karan' and we are super excited for the upcoming episodes. Aren't you too?!
To up your excitement leaving you in splits, there will be Akshay Kumar and his Mrs. Funnybones on KWK's episode 2.
