The talk show has entered its 4th season, with the first episode featuring the evasive Salman Khan who is not a regular celebrity on any talk show. ‘Koffee with Karan’s’ new series started last Sunday with a bang as its launch week delivered 222 TVT and its original airing dominated with 78 per cent share of English GECs in the Sunday 9pm slot.

The show accumulated 619,000 viewers across its airings during the week of launch, a press statement said.

Speaking on the start of the fourth season, Kevin Vaz, General Manager – English Channels, Star India, said, “‘Koffee with Karan’ has taken the silver screen by storm with an impressive rating and the faithful viewership it continues to receive. We have always looked at airing the best quality content and entertainment, allowing Star World to surge ahead in the English GEC universe. Having seen the success in the week of launch, the future looks bright for ‘Koffee with Karan’.”
