Karan Johar is all set for his comeback on television with the 5th season of ‘Koffee with Karan’. There were reports that Fawad Khan was to grace the show as his first guest, but amidst all the controversy with the MNS, Karan Johar is now reconsidering his first choice. Reports say the political backlash that Karan Johar is facing after the MNS threat, is the reason behind Fawad Khan being dropped as the first guest on Koffee With Karan 5.

Fawad had become the apple of Karan Johar’s eyes ever since his performance in Dharma film, Kapoor & Sons that went on to become one of this year’s biggest hits. So much was Fawad’s ever-increasing fan following that the screen time of his guest appearance in Karan’s upcoming directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was increased and Fawad even found place in the film’s promos and songs.

We hear that Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt will be KJo’s first guests on the show, and will promote their upcoming movie ‘Dear Zindagi’. We all know how close Karan is to SRK and Alia, but it will surely be a treat for their fans to watch them together at their candid best for the first time!
