When and where to watch Koffee With Karan 9
The first episode is scheduled to stream on JioHotstar on October 14, 2026, at 7 pm IST. The final season brings an end to a show that debuted in 2004 and became known for celebrity confessions, rapid-fire rounds and headline-making conversations.
A promotional clip shows Salman arriving on the familiar couch as Karan reminds him that this is the show’s final season. Their conversation revisits one of the actor’s most talked-about moments on the show, with Karan asking about his long-discussed claim regarding his virginity. Salman responds with his characteristic humour.
Unlike some of his earlier appearances, Salman will reportedly appear without family members this time. He previously featured alongside his father, Salim Khan, and brothers Arbaaz and Sohail Khan.
What to expect from the final season
Karan announced in September that Season 9 would be the show’s last. Since its debut with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in 2004, the series has become a prominent part of Bollywood’s celebrity interview culture.
Several stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan, have reportedly been linked to the season. However, the complete guest list remains unconfirmed.
