Koffee with Karan Season 7: Can someone write a better script for Karan Johar, please?

In the fourth episode of his chat show, Karan Johar made sure Ananya Panday admits that she “hates” her contemporaries when she tried to explain that she has a “healthy competition” with actors of her generation. South star Vijay Deverakonda, who was seemingly out of place and awkward on the show, spoke less and maintained his poise. And, to make him churn out some juicy stuff which is meme-worthy, KJo chose to discuss the intimate details of his personal life. The host asked Deverakonda, “When did you last have sex?”, “Would you like a threesome?”, “What is the way to your bed?” And, when Deverakonda didn’t give ‘desirable’ replies, he was called “an old uncle” by KJo. Alas, the irony!

We got to hear Deverakonda utter a few words only when he talked about the privilege of star kids and his breakout film Arjun Reddy. But Panday, as Deverakonda called her, was a “juvenile” who wants to fight with Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Khan over Deverakonda, whom they called a “piece of cheese”. It was so distasteful to watch three grown-up women, who are doing good on the professional front, fight over a man.

Vijay Deverakonda was mostly awkward on Karan Johar’s chat show.

Where are the times when Koffee with Karan saw chemistry oozing between the guests and Karan Johar got them to open up to him like never before? Now, it’s just about inside jokes, which is anything but entertaining for viewers.

Lastly, Karan Johar please stop being Sima aunty (Sima Taparia)! It’s good that Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif ended up marrying the man they said they would want to on your show. But please stop playing matchmaker to everyone who sits opposite you on the Koffee couch.
