Karan Johar’s chat show is ofcourse popular for its chatty and juicy format but who knew that it has the potential to ruin two careers? Cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul graced the show recently where former made extremely sexist and misogynist comments resulting into outrage across the nation. Now, it turns out that the whole fiasco has made the makers put an end to KWK, making this the last season.

Hardik and KL Rahul were called out by everyone on social media post the episode. They were even banned from playing from the latest ODI matches.

Not only this, but OTT platform Hotstar where KWK6 streams, took down the episode instantly after receiving flak.

However, it seems that the show is having its final countdown as reports in Deccan Chronicle. A source close to Star Plus, told the publication that the channel is considering to see other options. The channel also believes that the makers should have been vigilant about what is being shown and should have controlled it by editing.

A prominent filmmaker was also quoted saying by the publication, “It is your show. You have complete control over what goes into it. If an invitee loses control over his mouth, you as the show’s anchor and producer know where to draw the line.” Should Karan Johar Be Booed For Hardik Pandya Fiasco On 'Koffee With Karan'?.

It is not just this controversy, but other controversies too that were fueled by KWK.
