Bollywood director Karan Johar said relentless online trolling pushed the popular talk‑show to its conclusion.
Karan Johar, the well‑known director and producer, attributed the end of his long‑running talk‑show "Koffee With Karan" to the surge of social media trolling. He explained that the negative comments and harassment from online users made it increasingly difficult for celebrities to participate comfortably on the show. The host noted that the pressure from digital platforms had become a significant factor in the decision to discontinue the series.
Johar’s statement comes after a series of controversies and backlash that the show faced in recent years. He emphasized that the environment on social media had become hostile, making it hard for the program to maintain its original light‑hearted tone.

While the show’s future remains uncertain, industry insiders suggest that the decision reflects a growing concern over the influence of social media on television programming.
