'Koffee with Karan' aired its first episode in November 2004, and since then, there has been no looking back for it. The much-coveted couch was graced by the biggest stars of Bollywood including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and others.
The show is known for Karan's infamous wit and his ability to make celebrities bare their deepest and darkest secrets over a cup of coffee.
