Comedian Samay Raina hints at full couch episode on Karan Johar chat show

Stand-up comic Samay Raina posted a photo of a show placard on his Instagram Stories without any text, prompting talk of a full guest spot on the ninth season of the popular celebrity interview programme hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar. The hint follows a recent interview where Karan told a media outlet that he filmed an episode with Samay, fellow comic Tanmay Bhatt, and director-choreographer Farah Khan. Karan added that he expects the group to tease him mercilessly during the conversation. This follows a brief phone cameo by Samay on the same season during an episode featuring actor Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. Varun called Samay during a game segment to score points, and Samay casually mentioned on speaker that he was relaxing with his partner, prompting Karan to urge him to bring that same open attitude to the main couch.

Context

The current run marks the final season of the long-running celebrity chat show, which has previously featured notable actors and stars like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Vijay Deverakonda. Such programmes rely on unscripted banter and personal revelations from prominent entertainment figures to draw widespread viewer interest.
