Karan Kumar Johar, the celebrated Indian filmmaker and producer, has confirmed that his long‑running celebrity chat show will conclude after its ninth season. The decision follows twenty‑two years of hosting Bollywood’s brightest stars on a familiar couch, a format that began in the early 2000s. Johar’s move comes as he hints at developing a new original intellectual property, aiming to reinvent the talk‑show genre while stepping away from the iconic set.

The final season, slated to premiere on October fourteenth, will feature a curated lineup of guests and a fresh format that promises to keep audiences engaged. Johar’s announcement underscores his desire to explore new creative avenues, reflecting a broader trend of veteran hosts seeking fresh platforms in the evolving media landscape.
