In an earlier teaser, Karan addressed viewers directly and confirmed that the show would not return after the upcoming season.

The teaser also featured a caller suggesting that the show should have ended a decade ago. Karan responded with his trademark sarcasm, saying, "Thank you for asking, but I haven't invited you for eight seasons, so I don't plan to invite you for the ninth."

He also addressed speculation about the guest list, ruling out cricketers for the upcoming season. "No, no, no, cricketers are not invited. They are also not coming," he said.

Karan ended the teaser on a humorous note, saying, "Darling, it's my last season of Koffee With Karan. Why would I do anything controversial?"

The makers have not yet confirmed the other celebrity guests who will feature in the final season.

Salman Khan's Last Appearance On Koffee With Karan

Salman last appeared on Koffee With Karan in Season 5 in 2016, when he joined his brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan. The episode marked the show's 100th instalment and revisited several memorable moments from the actor's earlier appearance.

During Season 4, Salman had famously claimed that he was still a virgin. When Karan brought up the statement during the subsequent appearance, the actor maintained that nothing had changed.

The episode also featured the three brothers sharing childhood anecdotes, including how they would share clothes and even underwear while growing up.
