Karan Johar contemplate removing Rapid Fire Round on Koffee with Karan

For years, Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee With Karan, has been a staple in pop culture, and one of its most notorious segments, the Rapid Fire round, has become the stuff of legend.

However in a surprising revelation, Karan Johar considers removing the iconic Rapid Fire round from “Koffee With Karan.” The filmmaker cites the increasing cautiousness of guests as a reason for contemplating this change.

He stated, “We kept coming back to find a replacement to Rapid Fire, and the sad thing is people are much more worried now than they were in the first few seasons. Nobody wants a PR nightmare. Everyone is so careful that you have to make sure that you change the language of Rapid Fire so that you will get something.”

He further continued, “There were times when people have answered with abandon, like most underrated and overrated, and answers were flowing. Today, I won’t answer those so how can I expect them?” The filmmaker went on to opine that a sensitive climate has been built around owing to social media which has warned one against the sensitivity.

Johar acknowledges that in the current climate, celebrities are more guarded with their responses, leading to a potential decline in the spontaneity that the Rapid Fire round is known for.

The Rapid Fire segment has been a trademark of the popular talk show, often revealing candid and humorous aspects of celebrities’ personalities. Johar’s consideration reflects the evolving dynamics of celebrity interviews in an era where public figures are more careful about their statements.
