Salman Khan's Koffee With Karan Return Revives 'Virginity' Question

Bollywood icon Salman Khan is set to inaugurate the ninth season of filmmaker Karan Johar's popular chat show, Koffee With Karan, making a solo appearance that has already generated significant buzz. The much-anticipated season premiere, featuring the superstar often referred to as 'Bhaijaan', will stream on JioHotstar's Peacock Hub starting October 14, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday at 9 pm. A recently unveiled preview offers a glimpse into a lively conversation, revisiting a memorable past exchange between the actor and host.

The latest clip, shared on Instagram, highlights a direct question from Johar to Khan: 'Are you still a virgin?' Khan's immediate, humorous retort, 'Control, my brother, control,' mimicking actor Ravi Kishan, has captured immediate attention, leaving viewers eager for the full episode. This query isn't new territory for the duo; Johar posed the identical question during Khan's debut on Koffee With Karan Season 4 in 2013. Back then, the actor famously responded, 'Yes, I'm a virgin,' stating he was saving himself for marriage—a comment Johar later clarified as a joke rather than a serious confession.

Beyond the virginity discussion, the promo reveals other playful moments. Johar introduced Khan as a 'wise' man, alluding to Khan's viral social media post in July where he urged activist Sonam Wangchuk to conclude his fast amidst Gen Z protests. Khan, in turn, playfully teased Johar about the talk show's potential conclusion, even joking about launching 'Koffee With Salman' post-wrap-up. He also took a lighthearted jab at the filmmaker's tactic of convincing celebrities to appear by suggesting each season would be the last.

The preview also includes a more poignant exchange. Khan quoted a famous line from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, telling Johar, 'Tusi na jao, Karan' ('Please don't go, Karan'). When Johar complimented Khan's calm and composed demeanor, the actor reflected, 'The advice I gave to people, there came a point of time when I had to follow my own advice.' These interactions have further intensified anticipation for the ninth season's launch, promising an engaging start to the series.
