IIE Digital Desk : Renowned Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar's popular talk show "Koffee with Karan" has been a staple of Indian pop culture since its inception in 2004. Known for its candid celebrity interviews and juicy gossip, the show has garnered a massive following over the years. However, in recent years, the show has faced criticism for its over-the-top and campy nature.
In a recent article published in The Indian Express, writer Ankur Pathak delves into the evolution of "Koffee with Karan" and how it has leaned into its campiness to become India's go-to source for celebrity gossip. Pathak notes that while the show was initially praised for its fresh and bold approach to celebrity interviews, it has since become a caricature of itself.
Despite this criticism, "Koffee with Karan" remains a cultural phenomenon in India. Its outrageous questions and bold guests continue to draw in audiences, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in Bollywood and celebrity culture. While some may view the show as shallow and superficial, others see it as a guilty pleasure and a way to escape from the stresses of daily life.
