Salman Khan explained why he does not talk about his relationships on the opening episode of Koffee with Karan season 9, aired on Wednesday, 14 October. The actor said he learned early that a person he is dating might later marry someone else. He credited his father, Salim Khan, for advising him to keep his personal life private.

Khan said he cannot blame anyone for being single and that he will have children someday. He also said he is happy for Aamir Khan, who recently married Gauri Spratt for the third time. The episode featured host Karan Johar asking about Khan's old 'virgin' remark, which the actor clarified was his way of saying he does not want to discuss his dating life.
Hindustan Times and Times of India both reported Salman Khan's remarks on Koffee with Karan with neutral framing, sticking closely to his quotes and the show's content. Hindustan Times added background on Khan's past relationships with Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif and Iulia Vantur, which Times of India omitted, instead focusing on upcoming guests. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of the episode, with no editorial slant from either outlet. The key takeaway is Khan's statement that he expects to have children, a point both sources highlight identically.
