Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleKoffee With Karan Season 9 hasn't even premiered, but the internet is already buzzing about who could be sitting on Karan Johar's famous couch. An unverified guest list reportedly doing the rounds on Reddit has sparked speculation, with names ranging from Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan to Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna and a lot more.
There is, however, one important catch: neither Karan Johar nor the makers have confirmed the list yet. Karan has so far confirmed that Koffee With Karan will return for its ninth season around Diwali. Speaking to The Week about the show's comeback, he simply said, "Diwali. Season 9."
While fans wait for an official announcement, here's a look at the names creating the most buzz.
One of the biggest talking points from the alleged list is a potential Dil Chahta Hai reunion. Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Akshaye Khanna are reportedly being considered for one episode. If the combination comes together, it could be a major nostalgia moment for Bollywood fans, especially with the cult film completing 25 years in 2026.
Another pairing that has instantly caught attention is Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. The pair, who finally tied the knot earlier this year after years of relationship speculation, have largely kept their personal life private. If they do appear together on KWK, fans can expect Karan to spill the "koffee" about their relationship.
Next up on the list are Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, whom fans lovingly call 'Ahneet.' After the breakout success of Saiyaara, the young actors have become two of the most talked-about rising names in Bollywood. The alleged guest list reportedly has the pair appearing together, which could give viewers a closer look at their off-screen equation.
The rumoured lineup also features several popular celebrity pairings. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are reportedly being considered for an episode. The couple has previously appeared on the show separately, but this would be their joint appearance and may offer a very different conversation if the buzz is true.
Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon are another possible pairing for this season, while longtime friends Ananya Panday and Shanaya Kapoor could reportedly bring their camaraderie to the couch. Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya are also said to be among the possible guests.
Adding to the excitement, the alleged list for KWK 9 gets even more nostalgic, with the iconic trio including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, and Jaya Bachchan reportedly being considered for one episode. Their potential appearance would immediately remind fans of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary in December 2026. With Karan Johar himself behind the film, the episode could be packed with behind-the-scenes stories and nostalgia.
Two of Bollywood's biggest stars, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, are also reportedly on the list. The actors have worked together on several films and have known each other for years, making their potential joint appearance another attraction for fans. Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal and Diljit Dosanjh are also rumoured to appear together.
But perhaps the most unexpected pairing on the alleged list is Samay Raina and Farah Khan. Yes! The India's Got Latent host and comedian's appearance would definitely be a fresh change on the couch, and if Samay is paired with Farah Khan, her famously outspoken nature could make the episode particularly entertaining.
Well, for now, the answer is 'no.' The names currently circulating online reportedly come from an unverified Reddit post from the popular channel BollyBlindsNGossip, where a Redditor claimed they got the list from a Hotstar insider. Neither Karan Johar nor the show's makers have confirmed the guest list or any of the reported pairings.
As of now, the only confirmed detail is that Koffee With Karan Season 9 is expected to return around Diwali 2026. But if even just a few of these names make it onto the famous couch, fans are in for some of the biggest headline-making moments!
