EXCLUSIVE: Karan Johar reveals what Koffee With Karan means to him: ‘I notice that people ask me more about KWK than about my films’
When asked what the show has meant to him over the past 18 years, Karan says, “I think it’s done a lot more than I ever expected it to do for me. When I tell people it’s been running for 18 years, they don’t say I don’t really believe it’s been 18 years but it is so I started the show on August 16, 2004 I started filming it The very first episode I made was with Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta I never i thought this show would be for him i thought it was me chatting with some of my friends from the industry we will do a season maybe another and it will go away like most have options, because talk shows haven’t been real I mean remember, of course there was Tabassum who did Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan† there was Simi Grewal who did that Rendevous which was so iconic. I just thought this would be fun and games for me. But then I realized it has become a big part of who I am as a person and as a brand. It just added so much to my whole personality that it suddenly took over.”
He continues: “Sometimes I’m at a disadvantage because I’m a filmmaker, but I find that people ask me more about Coffee With Karan than about my films, which I consider a compliment at the time. But when I think about it, I think, ‘First of all I’m a filmmaker, that’s my primary passion, but people only ask me about Coffee With Karan† So while part of me is elated, part of me also has to make sure that the filmmaker, sort of a graph, has to move forward as well.”
