What Karan Johar said to PinkVilla
Despite his wife Gauri Khan’s debut on the show last year, Shah Rukh Khan was noticeably absent from the show in its first two seasons. Fans and viewers are curious to find out if Shah Rukh will be joining the cast of the program again because of the buzz surrounding his possible comeback. “Shah Rukh is there, but I don’t think he wants to be in the forefront. He deserves his silence. As fans and filmmakers, we should give him that.”, the show’s host Karan Johar said to Pinkvilla.
Shah Rukh Khan on Koffee With Karan
In 2004, Shah Rukh and Kajol, his co-star in three Karan Johar films, opened the first-ever episode of Koffee with Karan. In the season premiere of the second installment, the two were joined by Rani Mukerji, who also starred with them in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Actually, Shah Rukh made three appearances on Koffee with Karan Season 1. Once, he and Gauri participated in an episode that also included Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan, who were then a couple. In the season finale, he and co-star Amitabh Bachchan of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham shared a couch.
After going solo for Season 3, Shah Rukh began Season 5 alongside Alia Bhatt, his Dear Zindagi co-star. In response to his absence during Season 4, he made a joke about wanting the show’s TRPs to decrease.
He missed Season 6 because of a supposed falling out with Karan, which they eventually patched up. The director explained that the actor’s absence from Season 7 was because he had finally emerged from the background with the release of Pathaan this year.
