Salman Khan is set to return to Koffee With Karan, and this time, he will reportedly appear on the popular chat show without a family member by his side. The Bollywood superstar has been confirmed as the opening guest for Koffee With Karan Season 9, giving the new season a major celebrity presence right from its first episode.
Salman has appeared on Koffee With Karan twice before, but his earlier appearances included family members. He was seen with his brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan in Season 4 and later appeared with his brothers again in Season 5. His solo appearance in the upcoming season will therefore be different from his previous visits to the show.
The episode is expected to focus on Salman’s career, personal life and his experiences in the film industry. As with most episodes of Koffee With Karan, viewers can also expect the rapid fire round, where guests are often asked direct and sometimes unexpected questions. Salman’s straightforward personality could make the segment particularly interesting.

The actor’s appearance also comes at a time when fans are closely following his upcoming professional projects. His return to Koffee With Karan could give viewers an opportunity to hear him speak about his recent work, his long career in Bollywood and other topics that have remained in the spotlight.
Koffee With Karan Season 9 is scheduled to premiere around Diwali 2026 on JioHotstar. The makers are expected to announce more details about the guest lineup and episodes as the premiere date gets closer.
With Salman Khan opening the new season as a solo guest, the show is moving away from the family based pairings seen during his earlier appearances. His third visit to the show could also bring a different side of the actor to the audience, particularly during the rapid fire and personal conversations with host Karan Johar.
The new season will continue the show’s format of celebrity conversations, personal stories and light hearted discussions, with Salman’s episode expected to set the tone for the upcoming episodes.
