From Deepika Padukone advising Ranbir Kapoor to endorse condom to Salman Khan claiming that he is a virgin, Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan always invited controversies.

Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan always grabs eyeballs for being a star-oriented platform, controversial, and entertaining. With the type of format it enjoys, KWK is one of its kind chat show on television. Since its first season, which was aired in 2004, the glamorous talk show has been making noise. For some reason, most of the time this noise has turned ugly (say Deepika Padukone’s infamous condom taunt on ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor).

The show has just entered its fifth season with the opening episode being graced by Dear Zindagi star — Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt. The next celebrity guests on the show after Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur are going to be Sania Mirza and Farah Khan. The two women took to Twitter to express their excitement over being a part of the show, which is aired on Star World and Star World HD.

The Happy New Year maker tweeted: “Shooting for Koffee With Karan with my two favourite people Sania Mirza and Karan Johar #wonthehamper.”

Sania also posted an image from the set in which she is seen wearing a red gown, while Farah is seen in a green gown. Sania posted: “Koffee anyone? Debut on Koffee with Karan.

In its past seasons, the show has been graced by a string of A-list actors and directors including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sonam Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt and more at their candid best.

Later, when the same question was asked to Bipasha, she snapped at her back, saying  ‘she has a lot of expressions.’

2. Where does she get her accent from?: Kareena Kapoor on Priyanka Chopra (refer to the above video)

Kareena always made some controversial statements whenever she sat on the KWK couch.

To which Kareena was prompt to answer that she would like to ask her ‘from where did she get her accent?’

3. I am a virgin and I sleep alone: Salman Khan

6. Preity Zinta is synonyms to botox: Tusshar Kapoor

8. If you’re not good looking, they think you’re a good actor: Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor arrived with daddy Anil Kapoor on season 4 of the show. Karan asked her how does she react to the criticism that she hasn’t yet been able to establish herself as a good actor in the industry.

Just because you look ordinary and you talk loud doesn’t mean you’re a good actress.”
