Koffee with Karan Season 8 Takes a Refreshing Turn: Karan Johar Explores Roots with Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty
Karan Johar’s Koffee with Karan Season 8 has been raising eyebrows lately for its star-studded but somewhat predictable guest list. However, the latest episode brought a breath of fresh air as Karan sat down with filmmaker Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn. The episode, a departure from the usual wink-wink banter, saw Karan delving into the roots of these “sons of the soil,” exploring their journey from being industry kids to action stars on screen.
For weeks, fans had been vocal about Karan Johar sticking to his circle of friends for Koffee with Karan. The inclusion of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn, known for their no-nonsense approach, marked a change in the show’s tone. Notably, Ajay Devgn even jokingly referred to Karan as his “sworn enemy” from their earlier days.
One of the highlights of the episode was Karan’s decision to shift away from the often-controversial topic of nepotism. Instead of dwelling on the industry connections, he explored a shared background that he, Ajay Devgn, and Rohit Shetty have—their fathers were not Bollywood superstars but rather worked behind the scenes. This distinction sets them apart from the contemporary nepotism debates, as they are second-generation industry kids.
Karan Johar, known for his playful and sometimes controversial questions, surprised viewers by going beyond the usual banter. He looked within himself to identify a common ground with his guests—being second-generation industry kids. While Karan’s father, Yash Johar, started as a production controller and later became a producer, Ajay Devgn’s father, Veeru Devgan, and Rohit Shetty’s father were stuntmen/action directors, operating in the sidelines of Bollywood’s glitz and glamour.
The episode provided a rare insight into the backgrounds of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty. Both sons of men who made their mark in Bollywood through action direction, the duo has carved their niche as action stars on the big screen. Karan Johar, known for his knack for drama, took a more introspective approach, shedding light on the industry roots that connect him and his guests.
The discussion emphasized the distinction between the industry kids of today and those of a different era. Unlike the current crop of star kids, Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty hail from families where their fathers, though integral to the industry, were not in the limelight. The focus shifted from celebrity lineage to the shared experience of growing up in Bollywood’s action-packed world.
Karan Johar’s ability to find common ground beyond the glitz and glam showcased a different side of the host. Instead of stirring controversy or sensationalizing, he facilitated a conversation about the roots that bind him, Ajay Devgn, and Rohit Shetty together. The trio’s shared experience as industry kids added depth to the episode, steering away from the usual Koffee with Karan narrative.
The latest episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8 marked a refreshing departure from the usual banter and controversies. Karan Johar’s introspective approach, exploring the shared background of being second-generation industry kids, added a layer of authenticity to the conversation. As the audience witnessed a different side of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, the episode showcased that Koffee with Karan can transcend the glitz and delve into the roots that bind the personalities of Bollywood.
