Speaking about it, Karan said, "We kept coming back to find a replacement for Rapid Fire, and the sad thing is people are much more worried now than they were in the first few seasons. Nobody wants a PR nightmare. Everyone is so careful that you have to make sure that you change the language of Rapid Fire so that you will get something."
Further, he said, "There were times when people answered with abandon, like most underrated and overrated, and answers were flowing. Today, I won’t answer those, so how can I expect them?" Karan Johar reflected on the sensitive nature of social media and how things quickly fire up within moments.
That`s why all the actors and guests coming on the show are no longer completely candid about what they are saying on the couch, as it may easily backfire. Furthermore, with fan clubs of all major film stars in existence, it quickly spirals into a big issue online.
Koffee With Karan 8 has already given everyone many memorable moments in the episodes released till now. The Kajol and Rani Mukherjee episode were loved by everyone and also became the most watched.
The next episode will feature Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal, as revealed in the promo released by Karan Johar. It will be available to stream on Thursday.
