From Kangana Ranaut's nepotism remark to Anushka Sharma's lip job: When Koffee With Karan hit the headlines

Karan Johar's popular chat show Koffee With Karan will be returning with a seventh season. While confirming the news on Wednesday (May 4), Karan revealed that this time the show won't air on TV but stream on an OTT platform. The return of the show came as a delight to those who have enjoyed watching their favourite celebs indulge in some candid fun talk on the show. Karan's rapport with stars made Koffee with Karan one of the most watched shows. People loved it when stars spilled their own secrets --- and those of others too! Karan had the knack of making his guests comfortable and starting interesting drawing room conversations. As secrets kept spilling and stars got comfortable enough to let their guard down, there were bound to be moments that stirred up a hornet's nest and got many into trouble, sometimes even the host. Mostly in good fun... and the audiences lapped it up! Here are some of the contorversies that rocked Koffee with Karan....

Kangana Ranaut, who was invited in the fifth season of the show along with Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor, was in no mood to spare K Jo. On the show while talking about her biopic, Kangana said that Karan will be the antagonist in it. "Karan will be a Bollywood biggie who is snooty, intolerant to outsiders, flagbearer of nepotism and a movie mafia," declared she. Not only this, the actress accused Karan of verbal diarrhoea, having an attitude problem and putting words in her mouth on the show. Kangana sparked the nepotism debate in Bollywood which continues to be discussed widely even today.

Well, who would have thought that cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul would be dropped from playing a few matches after their appearance on Koffee With Karan? Their sexist remarks in Season 6 were widely criticised on the internet and otherwise. On the show, Pandya talked loosely about women and his sexual activities. He also shared how he likes to check women's moves at a club. Besides, he revealed that 'he had a little black side' which led him to 'score with chicks'. After things went out of hand, Karan Johar apologised and took responsibility for what happened on the show.

Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone's appearance together in the third season of KWK became the most talked about. Both the actresses took a dig at Ranbir Kapoor. When Karan asked Deepika what Ranbir should endorse, she said 'condoms'. She went on to even say that Ranbir 'needs to work on his boyfriend skills' and hinted that he has cheated on her. For the unversed, the two had split just around the time. The episode wasn't taken well by Ranbir's parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor.

Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra may be cordial with each other now, there was a time the two were touted as rivals. They even made it apparent on Koffee With Karan. When Karan asked Kareena 'the one question she would like to ask Priyanka Chopra', Kareena was quick enough to say - "Why does she have that accent?" Priyanka didn't choose to let this pass. When she appeared on the show later, she replied, "The same place her boyfriend (Saif Ali Khan) gets it from."

In the fourth season of Koffee With Karan, Alia Bhatt was invited with Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan on the show. While playing the rapid fire, Alia was asked who the then President of India was. She replied it was Prithviraj Chauhan instead of Pranab Mukherjee. This was enough to set the internet abuzz and several memes of the actress went viral. Alia took it all sportingly and even went on to roast herself in a video which made many applaud her.

Anushka Sharma, who appeared in the 4th season of KWK with Anurag Kashyap, wore a yellow dress with high ponytail on the show. But it was not her outfit or hair that caught attention but her lips. Viewers noticed how the shape of her lips had changed dramatically. Some of the memes went on to compare her to a clown. Anushka remained silent until there were reports that claimed she had gone under the knife. This made her issue a formal statement on her social media wherein she clarified, "For a short while now I have been using a temporary lip enhancing tool and that along with make up techniques ( I have learnt over the years) is the reason why there might be a change in the appearance of my lips. Having stated this fact let me very vehemently assure everyone that I have by no means gone 'under the knife ' or done any kind of 'plastic surgery' or undergone any intrusive procedure."

Ranveer Singh appeared on the show several times. However, the first time he appeared in season 3 with Anushka Sharma, he was pulled up for his inappropriate comments. Ranveer said on the show that he 'went from a child to a boy while watching Kareena Kapoor swim'. He also asked Anushka, "You want your ass pinched? I'm right here."Anushka set things straight by telling him, "You don't speak to me like that."
