Karan Johar had not thought of Koffee with Karan 7 would happen, apparently returned with the brand new season. The first episode of the new season welcomed Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt to grace the coffee couch for no hold barred conversations. The much-awaited chat show Koffee with Karan season 7 has been kickstarted on 7th July and will air every Thursday, at 7 PM on Disney+ Hotstar. Karan Johar spoke on the negativity surrounding Bollywood during the media interaction about the much hype around the chat show.
Karan Johar was upset about receiving negative reactions to his show and movies. He told PTI: “There was a lot of social media hate generally towards Bollywood at one point and ‘Koffee with Karan’ popped up as one of the targets… But I knew even then that this is all virtual, it’s not real. It’s not really the truth because had it been why would Disney+ Hotstar want to do the show? Why would actors want to come on the show? Why would I be still interested in doing it? I think we were all aligned. And that’s why we realised that all that negative banter was just that — it was a mirage. It didn’t really exist. None at all.”
He further questioned: “How can you suddenly start hating Bollywood, something you have loved for over 100 years? And then there were movies that started doing phenomenally well. You realise that people were watching television and films. They came back when they really wanted to. When that was happening, then what hate?”
The filmmaker added: “You can only hate when you’re feeling miserable yourself or you are a hater. From Bollywood to bananas, you can hate everything. But at the end of the day, that hate is not a real feeling. It’s just coming out of people’s frustrations and anger. I just hope those nameless and faceless people, who troll and spread negativity, realise that it all comes back to them, to bite them, not us.”
