Celebrating 10 Years of Koffee With Karan with 10 Epic Episodes

Last month, the show that changed the face the face of celebrity interviews on television celebrated in a decade long run. Yes, we’re talking about Koffee With Karan. A show full of fun, drama, gossip, bitching, controversies and what not? And to celebrate the feat, we’re rounding up 10 episodes from the show that deserve a rewind.

 

1. VIVEK OBEROI & JOHN ABRAHAM – SEASON 1, EPISODE 19

vivek-john

At the time this episode came out, Vivek Oberoi was in a steady relationship with Aishwarya Rai but the lady of course never acknowledged the same openly. Vivek Oberoi not only spoke of his relationship openly but even about the press conference he had held to speak about Salman Khan’s behavior. It is interesting to note that he said he stood by his decision and did it all to protect his lady love, a stand that changed into regret after the break up.

It’s also amusing to see how smitten he is by Aishwarya given the way he speaks about her. But honestly, we don’t blame him.

2. DEEPIKA PADUKONE & SONAM KAPOOR – SEASON 3, EPISODE 3

Of course this episode features on the list! Easily the most controversial episode of the show, Deepika and Sonam had a whole lot to say about Ranbir Kapoor. From gifting him condoms to praising Deepika on the fact that she dated the man there was a lot that was spoken. And the aftermath of the episode was no less. Rishi Kapoor did not take too kindly to the comments and even blasted a girl. It took a whole lot of pacifying and numerous apologies to settle things down.

3. SALMAN KHAN, SEASON 4, EPISODE 1

Salman on Koffee With Karan was a big deal. There was immense hype even before the episode was aired primarily because of the conflicting sides the two came from. Salman Khan was not on the best of terms with SRK who happened to be Karan Johar’s best friend. The very fact that it was Salman and not SRK on the opening episode of the season raised a many eyebrows.

And the episode lived up! Salman was open and not afraid of speaking out his mind and taking subtle digs at others, even when it came to speaking about his ex Katrina Kaif and her current beau Ranbir. But what truly stole the show was easily the confession from Salman that he was still a virgin. Yes Salman, we all believe you!

4. RAKHI SAWANT, SEASON 1, EPISODE 12

After the first season of Koffee with Karan, a lot of people questioned the anchor’s move to invite only his friends in season one. In a move to tackle this criticism, Karan invited a whole variety of guests for Kofee in season 2, one of who was Rakhi Sawant. The episode was easily one of the oddest ones simply because of the fact that Rakhi Sawant and Karan Johar come from two very different worlds. The host, who usually is quick to connect with his guests was in unfamiliar territory for the episode. The interaction between the two and seeing Rakhi at her best is what makes this episode a hilarious watch.

Also, there’s a moment where Rakhi, as a joke, falls to Karan’s feet to give her a break. Karan was caught quite off guard and the expressions are quite priceless.

5. ALIA BHATT, VARUN DHAWAN & SIDDHARTH MALHOTRA, SEASON 4, EPISODE

This is the iconic episode that made Alia one of the biggest memes in the country. It was during the newly introduced G.K round that Alia ended up answering Prithviraj Chauhan, when questioned about India’s president.

6. NARGIS FAKHRI FREIDA PINTO, SEASON 4, EPISODE 14

For the first time in history of Koffee with Karan, the episode had to be aired at a later slot because of the  high amount of explicit content. The two ladies spoke of sexual encounters, hilarious sexual translations of their names (or what her name sounded like in Nargis’s case) and what not!  And this was the first time we got to know how uber cool these two smoking actresses really are. There was not a single dull moment in the show because these two ladies were on a roll!

Watch the episode below (although we must warn you that it has been edited):

7. BIPASHA BASU & LARA DUTTA, SEASON 1, EPISODE 9

bipasha-lara

The episode came out at a time where the hype around the show was much lesser. Perhaps a reason why this episode isn’t looked back upon much. But we have to give to these two ladies for being refreshingly honest and quite witty! Bipasha was quizzed about her equation with Kareena and the lady was honest about the latter not being too fond of her. Lara too spoke about how there were times when dfferences cropped up between her and Priyanka because of rumours but the two sorted it out over phone calls.  And the two even went on to take subtle but quite hilarious digs at Ameesha Patel. How we’d love to see more such episodes!

8. ANUSHKA SHARMA & ANURAG KASHYAP 11

anusha-anurag

An episode riddled with questions about Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma and yet, that was hardly the talking point of the episode. Because all the attention here was just on Anushka’s lips. The actress, who had tried out temporary lip fillers for a movie found herself in line of fire and under immense criticism for this action.

9. SHAH RUKH KHAN AND KAJOL, SEASON 1, EPISODE 1

Kajol-SRk

Ok so two things gets this episode on our list: The fact that it’s the very first episode and the fact that there is Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol with their super adorable chemistry.

10. AMITABH BACHCHAN & SHAH RUKH KHAN FEAT. A WHOLE LOT OF GUESTS, SEASON 1, EPISODE 25srk-amitabh

 

As if it wasn’t enough that Amitabh Bachchan and SRK came together for this episode, Karam managed to get a whole lot of other guests too, including Sanjay Leela Bansali, Kajol and Jaya Bachchan. And this wasn’t the only thing that was done differently in the episode. It started off on a quirky note with Shah Rukh Khan interviewing Amitabh instead of Karan Johar and even had a panel of guests (Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan, Sanjay Leela Bansali) judging the rapid fire round instead of just Karan Johar doing the honours. Honestly, how could this episode not be on this list?
