The iconic hamper is back, and this time it’s saying goodbye. Koffee With Karan Season 9 premieres on October 14, 2026, and Pinkvilla reports it’s the talk show’s final season. Here’s who’s reportedly heading to the couch.

The Headline Pairing: Two Ananyas

According to the report, Ananya Panday and Ananya Birla will appear together in the same episode, and they’re set to shoot very soon. Ananya Panday is no stranger to the couch, but pairing her with Ananya Birla is a fresh combination. Expect candid talk about their lives, careers and friendship, plus Karan Johar’s trademark rapid-fire round.

What to Watch For?

Sibling and family energy. With Alia and Shaheen Bhatt, Sara and Ibrahim, and Kareena with Saif, this season leans on family chemistry. That usually makes for the most entertaining and unfiltered episodes.

A possible couple appearance. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are expected on the show, though nothing is confirmed yet. If they do appear, the conversation could touch on their second pregnancy, which they announced recently.

New faces. Vedang Raina, Sharvari Wagh and Lakshya add a younger, fresher energy to the lineup.

An Emotional Send-Off

Pinkvilla says the season is shaping up to be emotional for Karan Johar as the show heads toward its final episode. After years of candid conversations with Bollywood’s biggest names, the finale is expected to bring a heartfelt end to the show. The report’s advice: expect the unexpected.

As with any exclusive, the lineup could still change, so treat it as a strong preview rather than a final list. Looking for more Bollywood updates before the premiere? Follow Technosports, and browse our Bollywood coverage for more news. For background on the show’s history, see Koffee with Karan.
