Koffee With Karan Season 7 Episode 9 starts on the note of how good it feels to be able to premiere and watch films in theatres, after the pandemic and Karan Johar talks about trial shows. Where honest opinions could dampen the spirits of the filmmaker before the film’s release to the public. Then he calls on the Heropanti duo, who have made a name for themselves since then.

The synopsis of the episode reads, “While KJo wants to set up Kriti Sanon with a young actor who is not Tiger Shroff, Tiger admits to giving in to a co-star’s advances. They discuss work, life and everything in between.”

-Koffee With Karan Season 7 Episode 9 Recap Contains Spoilers-

As Kriti Sanon and Tiger Shroff walk onto the set, Johar comments that they look like bubblegum. If you see them together then it does look like that, with Kriti’s Pink outfit that makes the sweet pink part of the gum and Tiger’s yellowish outfit resembling the white, creamy neutral half of the bubble gum.

Anyway, right off the bat, the host asks them about their debut film and if they hit off from the start, in terms of chemistry and working together. Here a piece of interesting information is revealed, when Kriti thought she is here for an audition, for Tiger it was a look test for the camera. I mean that’s a star kid privilege, apart from that we get to know that Kriti had auditioned for Student of the Year.

She further explains that it was her very first audition for a film and had to dance to the song Bahara and act in a scene from the film Wake Up Sid. Johar further reveals that everyone who auditioned had to do that and maybe he should find Kriti’s audition tape like he has Alia Bhatt’s one.

He then moves on to Tiger Shroff and it wouldn’t be KWK if his first question isn’t about the love lives. He tries to find out if the duo had anything going on between them since most of the debut leads, from the same film, start dating eventually. But he denies it and even we can feel a friendly vibe between them if anything.

Karan Johar then tries to pry about Disha Patani and if Tiger is with her, but he maintains a ‘good friend’ status. When he didn’t get the answer he wanted, he targets Kriti and her closeness to Aditya Roy Kapoor, basically pushing the thought in her mind that they should date and she should manifest it on the couch.

Even Tiger want them to get together, as they would look good. Moving on to their careers, the host congratulates Kriti for her performance in Mimi and asks if she feels competition with her counterparts (just so he can mention Alia Bhatt, again, as the best actress right now). She maintains her calm composure and answers.

They then move on to Koffee Bingo, where Tiger asks what ignoring a co-star’s advances means which makes you think if he’s that naive. Contradicting that his answers tell another story and he seems like another person himself. Kriti reveals the whole story regarding her mom and why she rejected Lust stories, followed by Johar inviting himself to her family lunch.

With some calm and obeying guests on the show, Johar has an inquisition with them, so that he can get something gossipy out of them. Led on to Rapid fire round, where Tiger Shroff certainly shined and for once it felt like a rapid-fire with some good answers. Kriti Sanon responded like other guests on the show by dragging the answers and maintaining a goody-two-shoes image.

Koffee With Karan Season 7 Episode 9: Final Thoughts

Tiger won the round with 58% votes and got the image of a person who flips a lot, and that can be taken in any sense. In the last slam zone, they tied up with their Bollywood quiz answers and Kriti Sanon won the round by calling Prabhas and Kartik Aaryan.

Overall, the episode was somewhat calm as the guest was rather reserved in revealing anything. Tiger showed a contradicting personality and made the episode fun, meanwhile Kriti maintained her calm and chill composure.

Koffee With Karan Season 7 is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
