Koffee With Karan Season 9 brings Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor together for an episode filled with candid confessions, emotional memories and playful banter. As the popular chat show enters its final season, the actors revisit their earlier appearances, discuss personal relationships and clear the air about a disagreement with host Karan Johar.
From Janhvi’s heartfelt revelation about Shikhar Pahariya’s support after Sridevi’s death to Arjun Kapoor’s surprise appearance, the episode delivers several memorable moments. Here’s a look at the best moments from Koffee With Karan 9 Episode 3.
Varun And Janhvi Revisit Their Earlier Appearances

Karan takes the actors on a nostalgic trip through their previous appearances on Koffee With Karan. They watch a compilation of funny and viral moments, revisiting some of the conversations that audiences remember.
The episode also features the Powerone game, which Janhvi wins. During the celebrity-call challenge, Varun calls Samay Raina and Shikhar Pahariya, while Janhvi reaches out to Orry and Veer Pahariya. These segments bring a lighter energy to the episode, balancing the more personal conversations with the playful challenges that have become a familiar part of the show.
Janhvi Kapoor Recalls Shikhar Pahariya’s Support After Sridevi’s Death
One of the episode’s most emotional moments comes when Janhvi opens up about Shikhar Pahariya’s support following the death of her mother, Sridevi, in 2018.
Janhvi was studying in London at the time. Shikhar took half a semester off and returned to Mumbai. He stayed at a friend’s home in Juhu for around a month, even though the two were not meeting every day.
Janhvi revealed that she learnt about the gesture much later. Shikhar’s reason for returning was simple and heartfelt: “In case she needs me, I just want to be around.”
The revelation offers a glimpse into a difficult period in Janhvi’s life and highlights the importance of having someone around during moments of grief.
Varun Dhawan And Karan Johar Address Their Fallout

Varun and Karan revisit a disagreement that began when the release dates of their respective films clashed. According to Varun, Karan stopped answering his calls and messages after the incident. Janhvi reminds Varun that he had called the filmmaker a child. Varun stands by his remark, but Karan explains why the message hurt him, given their friendship.
“Stop acting like a child”, Karan recalls, describing the message as a line that should not have been crossed between friends. He adds, “I was hurt with both of you.” Janhvi also remembers how the disagreement affected her. “There was a lot of pain in our fight,” she says, revealing that she gained six kilograms while they were not speaking.
Varun later changed his film’s release date and encouraged the two to reconcile at Karan’s birthday. The conversation brings an old disagreement into the open and adds a personal dimension to the episode.
Arjun Kapoor Makes A Surprise Appearance

The episode gets another entertaining twist when Arjun Kapoor joins the couch to judge the rapid-fire round. Before the game begins, he watches a montage of his earlier appearances on the show.
Varun takes the opportunity to tease Arjun about his trips to Alibaug, joking that he was seeing someone named Tarini who worked in real estate. Arjun denies dating anyone, keeping the exchange lighthearted.
Janhvi, meanwhile, delivers a memorable answer when asked which Instagram account always delivers. She names Ravi Kishan and repeats his viral line, “Money follows my brother!” Her impression adds a humorous moment to the round. Janhvi eventually wins, giving her another highlight in an episode packed with playful exchanges.
Conclusion
Koffee With Karan 9 Episode 3 combines emotional revelations with humour and nostalgia. Janhvi’s account of Shikhar’s support after Sridevi’s death stands out as the episode’s most heartfelt moment, while Varun and Karan’s conversation brings closure to an old disagreement.
