Whether you love or dislike it, you cannot help but notice the buzz surrounding Koffee With Karan. The seventh season of Karan Johar’s famous chat show, Koffee With Karan, debuted on an OTT platform after much waiting and anticipation. The first celebrities to appear this new season is Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, a.k.a. “Rocky Aur Rani,” natives of KJo. No points are awarded for guessing! The two actors made it an entertaining watch with all their spicy confessions.

Karan appears to be slightly more careful this year, though not overly. I’ll explain. He is not afraid to say that Bollywood has been “vilified” during the past two years. As he makes fun of how people call him “Gayjo” or use snake emojis next to his name, he partly channels Taylor Swift. However, it appears that he may not be in the mood to cause too many controversies this time. The cult-favourite Rapid Fire round’s questions seemed much safer, with no opportunity for Alia or Ranveer to utter anything slightly like “not appropriate.” The Koffee With Karan Quiz adopted a similar strategy. But the Bingo game allowed his guests to reveal some juicy details about their sex playlists, roles they had been passed over for, and more
