Apart from directing and producing some of the best Bollywood films in last few decades, Karan Johar is also known for hosting the popular talk show 'Koffee With Karan'. The show was started in 2004 and since then it has featured numerous celebrities who have talked about exciting topics related to their professional and private lives. The seventh season of the show is just around the corner and a teaser of the same was released recently.

In a recent conversation with ETimes, Karan looked back at his journey and wondered about how far the show has come. He stated, "Honestly, if you asked me this question in 2004, that would I be sitting here talking to you 18 years later, I would have said, 'Are you mad? Are you crazy? I am doing one season and I am out of here'. I'll do it just for fun, banter, calling friends, chatting, literally having a blast doing all that. I didn't realise that this show would be what it is. It's now a kind of a household name. If they are not watching it, they have heard of it at least. I didn't realise it would follow me everywhere in the world."

Sharing how he has now become synonymous with the word coffee, Karan stated, "Wherever I go, people literally call me 'Koffee' before they call me Karan. So it's almost like I am a beverage and not a person. And I get that joke every time I am at a Starbucks out of the country or in the country. People say, 'Oh, can we have Koffee with Karan?' because I am at Starbucks and I laugh every time and make them feel like they've cracked a really original joke. But that's the truth. The show has just kind of lived two decades and I am really grateful for that."
