Koffee With Karan 9 Best Moments: Salman Khan’s Fatherhood Confession, Karisma Kapoor’s Surprise Appearance, Sanjay Dutt’s Funniest Moment And More

Koffee With Karan has returned for its ninth and final season, and the premiere episode delivers a mix of heartfelt confessions, nostalgic Bollywood memories and entertaining revelations. Hosted by Karan Johar, the opening episode features Salman Khan as the first guest, with Karisma Kapoor making a surprise appearance that takes the conversation back to their memorable 1990s era.

From Salman expressing his desire to have children someday to Sanjay Dutt’s cheeky marriage joke, the episode offers plenty to discuss. Karan also revisits some of the show’s most talked-about moments while making it clear that he is ready to move on after more than two decades.

Salman Khan Opens Up About Wanting Children

One of the biggest revelations comes when Karan asks Salman whether he misses having children of his own, given his close relationship with his nieces and nephews. The actor admits that fatherhood is something he would like to experience in the future.

“I would want to have children at some point of time,” Salman says. He later adds, “Kids will come in.”

The conversation takes a humorous turn when Sanjay Dutt appears in a video message for Salman. Sharing his thoughts on the actor becoming a father, Sanjay jokes, “Ham sabko ek chota salman chahiye, par shadi karke fasna bhi kyu hai?”

Varun Dhawan and Bobby Deol also send video messages for Salman. Bobby recalls the special bond between Salman and his late father, Dharmendra, saying, “The bond you shared with my papa was just amazing. he loved you like his son,” adding an emotional touch to the episode.

Salman Reveals He Did Kuch Kuch Hota Hai For Free

Salman takes a trip down memory lane as he discusses his appearance in Karan Johar’s directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The actor reveals that he did not charge for his role and would have agreed to the film regardless of its box-office performance.

His decision was influenced by the relationship between their families, particularly the bond between his father, Salim Khan, and the film’s producer, Yash Johar.

Karan also recalls visiting Salman to narrate the script. At the time, the actor lived in a small room with just one closet and a little bed.

Salman shares another memory involving Yash Johar, recalling how the producer travelled to Mauritius to help him and his brother Sohail Khan during the shoot of Hello Brother. Remembering Yash’s efforts to arrange what they needed, Salman recalls him asking, “Beta aur kya chahiye tumhe yaha se?”

Karisma Kapoor’s Surprise Appearance Brings Back 90s Nostalgia

Karisma Kapoor joins Salman for a special appearance, bringing back memories of their friendship and successful on-screen pairing. The two revisit their 1990s experiences, including a moment connected to Karisma’s outfit from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

Salman remembers feeling uncomfortable while shooting with her in the outfit because it was very short. He kept asking her to pull it down. When asked which Bollywood star he shares his best chemistry with, Salman names Karisma, making the reunion even more special for fans who remember their popular pairing.

The conversation also revisits a prank Salman played on Karisma during the shoot of Dilwale. With Biwi No. 1 having recently released, Salman tricked her into believing that the film had flopped and had failed to get an opening.

Karisma began crying after believing him. Salman eventually revealed that he had been joking and that the film was actually a blockbuster.

Karan Johar Confirms He Is Not Returning

With Koffee With Karan entering its final season, Karan addresses his decision to end the show. He makes his position clear, saying, “I am not coming back.”

Referring to Salman’s recent comment to Sonam Wangchuk, Karan jokes, “It’s done bro.” He also teases Salman about their respective plans after the show ends, saying, “You will be doing Bigg Boss, I will be off the grid.”

The talk show is signing off after 22 years, eight previous seasons and 161 episodes. The premiere reflects on that legacy while making it clear that Karan is ready to focus on other creative pursuits.

Karan Revisits Salman’s Shirtless Legacy And The Hardik Pandya Controversy

Karan also brings up Salman’s famous shirtless image, revisiting memorable moments from Maine Pyar Kiya, the “O O Jaane Jaana” sequence, Wanted, Dabangg and Sultan. The discussion also touches on the recent viral clip of Salman going shirtless while speaking against trolling on the sets of Bigg Boss 13.

During the rapid-fire round, Karisma asks Karan which celebrity he wishes had played it safe on Koffee With Karan. His answer is “Hardik Pandya,” referring to the controversy surrounding Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul’s 2019 appearance. Their remarks drew widespread criticism, and the episode was subsequently taken down.

Karan is also asked whether he is more guilty of bringing up “conjecture, nepotism or Alia Bhatt” on the couch. He responds, “The conjecture that I used the nepotism card on Alia Bhatt.”

Karan Reveals His Favourite Episode

Looking back at the show’s long run, Karan names the episode featuring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif as his all-time favourite. He also shares a few unexpected personal interests, revealing that he enjoys Haryanvi music and is obsessed with Ravi Kishan on Instagram.

Conclusion
