Koffee With Karan Rewind: The 10 Most Controversial Moments (So Far)

Many B-town stars left us stunned with their unfiltered comments which were sometimes derogatory, lewd and rude, and always courted controversies

Almost two decades earlier, filmmaker Karan Johar introduced us to his super-entertaining chat show Koffee With Karan and the rest is history. With each season, the show, which premiered on Star World in 2004, offered more gossip, more drama, and not to miss, controversial statements by celebs too. From Hardik Pandya-KL Rahul and Kangana Ranaut to Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Emraan Hashmi, many B-town stars left us stunned with their unfiltered comments which were sometimes derogatory, lewd and rude, and always courted controversies. Their unabashed versions of themselves made Koffee With Karan an audience-favourite chat show from 2004 to 2019.

Now, as we await the new season of Koffee With Karan, which will premiere on Disney+Hotstar on July 7, let's go back in time and revisit some of the controversial moments on the show.

1.Season 6, Episode 12: Hardik Pandya And KL Rahul's Sexist Remarks

This specific episode was highly criticised for the lewd comments about women made by cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. The makers had to take the episode off-air and BCCI had to drop the players for a few matches. When KJo asked Hardik: “Why don't you ask women's names at nightclubs?" The cricketer's sexist and misogynistic reply left the Internet furious.
