Salman Khan made a dashing entry on Koffee With Karan Season 9, bringing his trademark humour and decades-long camaraderie with host Karan Johar to the couch. However, what began as a playful exchange soon took an interesting turn when the superstar brought up his highly publicised fallout with Shah Rukh Khan, leaving the filmmaker at the centre of a conversation about one of Bollywoods most talked-about feuds. During their conversation, Karan Johar admitted that Salman had always made him nervous, saying, No one gets me more stressed, nervous, and hyper than you. I don't know why, it hasn't changed. Salman was quick to respond with a teasing question: Is it because of you or is it because of somebody else? The remark appeared to allude to Shah Rukh Khan, with whom Salman shared a close friendship before their relationship reportedly soured in 2008. The fallout between Salman and Shah Rukh became one of the biggest talking points in Bollywood at the time. The two superstars, who had shared a warm equation through the 1990s and appeared together in films, reportedly had a disagreement at a birthday party hosted by Katrina Kaif in 2008. The incident was widely discussed in the media, with reports linking the rift to tensions surrounding Salmans personal life and his relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, the precise circumstances behind their disagreement have remained a subject of public discussion over the years. Karan Johars presence at the party also became part of the conversation, given his close friendship with Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. Against that backdrop, Salmans playful interrogation of the filmmaker on the Koffee With Karan couch carried an added layer of significance. Putting the matter into perspective, Salman told Karan, Right now you should not be stressed because everything is all good. It's been good for the longest time, referring to the now-repaired equation between him and Shah Rukh. The two actors famously appeared to put their differences behind them when they reunited at politician Baba Siddiques Iftaar party in 2013, after years of speculation surrounding their relationship. Salman, however, was not done teasing the filmmaker. He added, At one point of time, it was not good. So, I could have understood that you were scared of me because of not you, because of Shah Rukh. Karan chose not to prolong the discussion, but Salmans candid remarks brought the spotlight back to a chapter in Bollywood history that continues to intrigue fans. With the two superstars having since maintained a cordial relationship and supported each others film appearances, the exchange offered a reminder of how far their equation has evolved since the highly publicised fallout.

Submissions opened in August, giving participants 45 days to create and submit their work.

The winners were selected by jury members Ahsaas Channa, Dolly Singh, Nikhil Taneja and Rajeev Masand.

We're thankful to our jury members and to Farah Khan for the invaluable perspective she shared on her storytelling journey. Farah Khan on content creation and storytelling Farah Khan attended the festival as a special guest and spoke about her approach to filmmaking and creating content for digital platforms. Having worked on feature films for theatrical audiences as well as short-form videos for Instagram Reels, the filmmaker discussed how she approaches the two formats. Explaining her approach to social media, Farha said she prefers to keep her content spontaneous rather than plan every detail. She also credited Gen Z with influencing her outlook towards creating and sharing videos. She stated, People assume there's a big plan behind it, but I don't overthink what I post. Gen Z has inspired me they're so nonchalant about it, no second-guessing. Be it a clip from my show, a random chat or a bit of mischief on the spot, everything is spontaneous for me. I think relatability and realness, with a bit of humor, are what audiences actually respond to on Instagram. The filmmakers comments highlighted the role of authenticity and humour in connecting with audiences on social media. The festival brought together creators and industry professionals to recognise emerging talent and encourage experimentation with digital storytelling tools.

Zee TV announces Shubh Shagun Shehnaaiyan, a story of a mother and her four daughters
For over three decades, Zee TV has brought stories to Indian households that explore relationships, family values and the emotions that shape everyday life. From narratives rooted in tradition to stories that question social conventions, the channel has continued to present characters and situations that connect with audiences across generations. Continuing its focus on family-oriented fiction, Zee TV is set to introduce Shubh Shagun Shehnaaiyan, a new show centred on a mother whose biggest dream is to find suitable life partners for her four daughters. For her, the responsibility goes beyond arranging their marriages. She also wants to see her daughters settled in life and their families flourish. Zee TV continues to maintain a presence in the Hindi primetime entertainment space, with three of its shows featuring among India's Top 5 Hindi shows. The upcoming show will join the channel's existing fiction lineup, which includes Tumm Se Tumm Tak, Jagadhatri, Dilo Ki Ram Leela, Vasudha, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan and Tu Hi Re Dil Mein. Through stories exploring family, relationships, love, aspirations and contemporary emotions, the channel continues to cater to viewers with varied interests. At the centre of Shubh Shagun Shehnaaiyan is a close-knit middle-class family that places importance on tradition, values and self-respect. For the father, his daughters are his greatest wealth and a source of pride, rather than a burden. He is determined to raise them with the same principles that have shaped their family. As the four daughters navigate relationships, marriage and the choices that come their way, the family remains committed to its values, dignity and self-respect. Their journey also takes an interesting turn with the coming together of two individuals who have contrasting views on life and relationships. Their differing personalities set the stage for a story involving love, family bonds, unexpected developments and the everyday emotions that shape family life. With its focus on family, relationships, love and aspirations, Shubh Shagun Shehnaaiyan will introduce a new set of characters and explore the choices and experiences that influence family dynamics.

Reflecting on her journey, she credited her parents, teachers and educational institutions for influencing the person she has become.

Talking about how education has influenced her life, Sandeepa said, I think a lot of who I am today is thanks to education. My parents always made sure I received a good education. Even when I wanted to become an actor, they told me to complete my masters degree first and then pursue whatever I wanted to do. I think thats a very typical parental response! The actress also acknowledged the role her teachers and academic institutions played in shaping her perspective and personality. Recalling her time at St. Xaviers and Jamnalal Bajaj, she spoke about the opportunity to learn from talented professors and interact with educated minds.

Having previously taken on emotionally intense roles, Sandeepa said the appreciation for her comic performance came as a pleasant surprise. Ive done emotionally intense roles in the past, and people have given so much love to Chumbak and my character, Kiran Kejriwal. I dont know whether the surname had something to do with it, or whether it was the character itself! Its always wonderful when something youve put so much effort into works out, she said. Sandeepa revealed that she had initially wondered why she was being considered for a comedy, given that she had not explored the genre before. However, Aatish Kapadia and JD recognised her potential and trusted her to portray Kiran. The actress expressed gratitude for their confidence in her and the audiences response to the series. She also shared her happiness at seeing memes and discussions about the show circulating online. For Sandeepa, the appreciation for Chumbak has made the experience particularly rewarding.

JioHotstar has announced a collaboration with The Peacock Hub for the ninth and final season of Koffee With Karan, which premieres on October 14, 2026. The partnership marks the first time NBCUniversal and JioHotstar have joined hands to support an Indian-produced show. NBCUniversal and JioHotstar, formerly known as JioCinema, launched The Peacock Hub in India in 2023. Since then, the platform has built a content library featuring international films and television shows, including Peacock Originals such as All Her Fault, PONIES, The Copenhagen Test and The Five Star Weekend. Its catalogue also includes titles from Universal Studio Group, DreamWorks Animation, Universal Pictures, Focus Features, Sky and Bravo. Until now, The Peacock Hub's presence in India has primarily focused on content distribution and acquisition. With this partnership, the platform is expanding its role by supporting a locally produced Indian original for the first time. Speaking about the collaboration, Alok Jain, Head - Hindi & English Entertainment Business (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, said, This is a significant moment in how we see the future of Indian IP. Koffee With Karan has always been one of our most valuable properties, but this is the first time a global studio has chosen to partner with us around a show, not just its distribution. The Peacock Hub choosing Koffee With Karan for that first such collaboration validates something we've believed for years: that Indian IP, built with the right ambition, can compete and collaborate on a global stage. At JioStar, we aim to co-create exciting formats that dont just travel across markets, but have the potential to be built, shaped and celebrated globally. Host Karan Johar also reflected on the show's journey and the significance of the partnership. He said, I started this show wanting nothing more than coffee, honest conversation, and a little indiscretion with people I love. That instinct hasn't changed in twenty years. What has changed is who's paying attention. Having The Peacock Hub choose to collaborate with us for the first time in India is humbling, and honestly, this show has always belonged to the people who watch it as much as the people who sit on that couch. And we are so proud that it now belongs to the bigger world too. Chris Taylor, Managing Director, APAC, NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution and International Networks & DTC, said, Were delighted to partner with JioHotstar on Koffee With Karan, one of Indias most celebrated entertainment properties, for its landmark final season, said Chris Taylor, Managing Director, APAC, NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution and International Networks & DTC.* Building on The Peacock Hubs exceptional offering of U.S. and U.K. film and television content, this collaboration represents an exciting expansion into locally produced programming. With its distinctive format and unique perspective on the entertainment industry, we couldnt think of a more fitting show for this first collaboration. The partnership also reflects a broader shift in the approach of international studios towards the Indian market. Instead of focusing solely on bringing existing international content and formats to Indian audiences, The Peacock Hub's collaboration signals an interest in supporting programming developed locally for Indian viewers. Koffee With Karan was chosen for the collaboration because of its established identity and reach. The show has built a following through its celebrity conversations and distinctive format, with clips frequently circulating on social media and discussions around its episodes featuring in entertainment news cycles. Its existing cultural presence makes it a notable choice for The Peacock Hub's first partnership involving an Indian original. Hosted by Karan Johar, Season 9 of Koffee With Karan will premiere on October 14, 2026, on The Peacock Hub on JioHotstar. The final season will feature a refreshed format and a guest lineup that has already attracted attention. The season will also bring the show to a close after a 22-year run.

Shefali Bagga is a welcome addition to the film, bringing her own personality and screen presence to the cast. Both actors bring something different to the table, and that diversity is important when you are telling a story with multiple characters and layers. Sharing their excitement about assembling this phenomenal cast and bringing the project to life, producers Riddhi Chawda and Utsav Upadhyay shared, Collaborating with a visionary like Mahesh Bhatt is an incredible journey. For Naam: To Live Is War, we wanted an ensemble that doesn't just play characters, but lives them.
