Disney+ Hotstar has dropped a new promo of Koffee with Karan Season 8, touted as ‘The Big Guest Reveal.’ It announces four new pairs for this season, including the longawaited union of Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, orchestrated by host Karan Johar.

After Alia and Kareena recently got together to shoot a commercial and expressed their desire to work together in a film, their fans started bombarding Karan to cast them. Kareena also agreed that the onus falls on Karan. Now, the filmmaker has brought them together, but only to share the Koffee couch. In the minor glimpse of the episode we see in the new promo, Kareena tells Alia that she’s a “director’s actor,” to which Karan replies hilariously, “You’re no one’s actor. You’re your own actor.”

Reports had suggested the next episode would feature Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday. Now, in the glimpse that we saw in the new promo, when Karan asks Sara in the Rapid Fire round the one thing Ananya has that she doesn’t, she replied, “A Night Manager,” referring to Aditya Roy Kapur’s popular show on Hotstar. Ananya blushes and responds cryptically, “I’m feeling very Ananya ‘Coy’ Kapur.”
