According to Karan Johar, celebrities increasingly avoid giving him interesting responses on his programme.

He added, “I have to say, this season - in the history of Koffee with Karan, it was the most boring rapid fire. It was so boring that I was like snooze alert. I'm like yeah why am I even doing this? Should we just drop the rapid fire?”

Karan Johar discussed the increasing caution celebrities exercise regarding their statements on 'Koffee With Karan'. "We get big messages like can you delete this? Everyone's so worried and I don't blame them because everything can be a nightmare. Everything becomes like a clickbait headline and like they'll say one thing and the way you say it and the way it reads are very different. That's what's been happening like people are scared to open up they don't say anything the way they used to," he said.

Karan Johar also spoke about the trolls he receives because of his persona on the chat show. He said, "I know how people have dissed me or trolled me. The sad thing is that there is an impression of me which is only because of the show and it's very far from the human being I believe I am."
He added, "I make fun of myself all the time and I'm like that's how. Similarly, when I'm laughing at something, I'm doing it in good humour."
He concluded, “I'm too old to be upset. I'm 52 years old. I've been in the business for 30 years. Now I want Shanti (peace) and I want Koffee with Karan to just be fun but not controversial.”
