Sure, we are fancying ‘BFFs with Vogue’ but nobody gets as naughty and chatty with the stars as Karan Johar! Which is why it is great news to our ears that he will be back with another season of ‘Koffee With Karan’ this year. Karan has already been in talks with the makers of the chat show and they are mutually working out dates, keeping in mind KJo’s super hectic schedule. The list of invitees is already being drawn up and featuring at the top are the newlyweds Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli. It would be their first joint interview together post marriage and is sure to be a huge attention-grabber.

Addicts of the show will be longing for their fix of witty revelations and shocking quotes as stars let their hair down on Karan’s couch and let their tongues run away with them. The successful show which began to air in 2004, has had five seasons already.

Here’s a quick peek at some of the controversies that were brewed over this potent koffee…

In the rapid-fire round of Season 5, when Kangana was asked, 'Who has given you more attitude in the industry, men or women?' she answered “Karan Johar”. She also declared, “In my biopic, if ever it is made, you (Karan Johar) would play that stereotypical Bollywood biggie who is snooty and completely intolerant towards outsiders, flag bearer of nepotism, 'The Movie Mafia’”. Karan tried taking her comments sportingly, saying he would love to be the antagonist if it made the book a big success. The episode went on to spark off a battle royale between the two!

The third episode of Season 3, featuring guests Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor, generated huge buzz after the two actresses targeted their common factor - Ranbir Kapoor. Padukone and Kapoor had dated for about two years and broke up prior to her appearance on the talk show. When discussing the break-up, Padukone hinted that he was not a good boyfriend, saying “I think he needs to work on his boyfriend skills.” She also alluded to Kapoor cheating on her. Sonam Kapoor, who co-starred with Ranbir in their debut film Saawariya, commented that Ranbir needed a stylist and was not sexy. After the episode aired, it was reported that Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh had taken issue with the comments made by the actresses. Johar also came under fire for supposedly instigating a personal attack.

It was also on ‘Koffee With Karan’ that some of the most scandalous statements were made… Kareena Kapoor had called John Abraham “expressionless”, Tusshar Kapoor stated that Preity Zinta was synonymous with Botox in Bollywood, Kareena wondered aloud, “Why does Priyanka have that accent?” and Salman Khan maintained, “I am a virgin and I sleep alone.”
