if he would have any cricketers over this season, and the filmmaker confessed to being ‘scared’ after what happened the last time, hinting at the KL Rahul and

incident.
It all began when on Friday afternoon Karan Johar went live on social media to interact with his fans. He thanked them for giving much love to the first episode of season 8. That is when a fan asked if Karan would invite cricketers over on the show. Replying to the same, Karan said, "Will they come? I don’t know. (laughs) I'm not sure. I would love to have them. They are national icons and celebrated illustrious personalities.”

"But I think with what happened last time, I'm not sure they will even take my call. I’m scared to even call, and I’m such a big fan and have so much respect in my heart. I don’t want to be rejected,” he added.

For the unversed, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul’s episode led to a major controversy. The cricketers received massive backlash, as their comments were called sexist and very disrespectful towards women. Though the cricketers apologized, the cricketers were suspended before a prestigious match.
Meanwhile, the new episode ‘Koffee with Karan’ season 8 will be released on Thursday at midnight on OTT.
