Karan Johar’s talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ will air its ninth and final season on JioHotstar from 14 October. Salman Khan will be the first guest of the season, appearing solo. Johar posted a promo video on Instagram that shows Khan saying he is coming on the show. The host called the farewell emotional, saying the season was ending after 22 years.
The show has run eight seasons and 161 episodes since 2004. Khan previously appeared twice on the show, first with his father Salim Khan and later with brothers Arbaaz and Sohail. Other notable guests on the final season are yet to be announced. The season’s opening episode will be streamed exclusively on JioHotstar.
Amar Ujala leads with Salman Khan as the first guest of ‘Koffee With Karan’ season 9, calling the season the final one without giving a start date. Dainik Bhaskar adds the concrete release date of 14 October on JioHotstar, quotes Karan Johar’s farewell note, and lists past guest controversies including the Hardik Pandya-KL Rahul episode. Bhaskar’s account is more detailed and timeline-anchored, while Amar Ujala’s is promotional in tone. Both sources agree on Salman Khan as the season opener and the show ending after 22 years. The key open point is the 14 October premiere date, which Amar Ujala omitted.
