'A Lot Of Hate Sometimes Is Entertaining', Karan Johar On Being Trolled For Koffee With Karan

Koffee with Karan may not have brewed enough coffee for the guests, but it has brewed several controversial statements. We were first introduced to a chat show where the actors were shown being frank and being their authentic selves almost twenty years ago. The most popular Indian chat show introduced the viewers to juicy rumours and drama with each episode and season.

Fans were left wanting more when the highly anticipated Koffee With Karan Season 7 began with a surprising revelation. With Alia-Ranveer gracing the "Koffee Couch" in the first episode, this season made its debut on OTT.

But along with the all glamour comes the depressing truth of being a celebrity. Being a part of Bollywood industry, the public has been criticizing and trolling celebrities. Karan has been the victim of trolling ever since Kangan Ranaut made the ¡®Nepotism¡¯ comment on the chat show and portrayed him as a villain.

A lot of buzz has been created by Koffee with Karan. Trolls have also alleged that Karan solely cares about celebrities' sex lives and that most of his inquiries centre around it.

In a recent interview with The Hindu, Kjo said, "So, I don¡¯t know how much of the hate and trolling is actually about the show; it¡¯s really more about the fact that a show like this exists, and has this kind of abandon. A lot of the hate sometimes is entertaining, because I wonder why they are cursing it so much, but also watching it. I read the threads on Twitter and other portals; reels and reels of discourse that people are having about KWK¡­ and I feel very moved and touched. I¡¯m like, that¡¯s a lot of time you have taken out of your lives to write such a long column on something you hated so much."
