He said the line-up depended mostly on his personal comfort and bond with people. He preferred inviting those he shares warmth with over those who might feel pressured to say yes.The filmmaker also admitted that finding two guests for each episode was tricky, which is why several celebrity couples were seen this season.

Three couples appeared, along with a few unusual pairings he chose not to reveal.Karan said he expected the episode with the trio to be fun because they would likely target him. He added that he did not follow one fixed format and planned each conversation around the guest’s personality and stage of life.

"I have done one episode with Vedang and Sharvari and Lakshya – the new actors in the industry. And I have had a blast. I have one with Tanmay, Samay Raina and Farah Khan. I know I am going to have a blast because they will attack me more than what I am capable of.

So you just have to play it as per the guest. I haven’t followed the same template with every guest. I have gone as per the energy of the guest as to where he or she is at that point of time in their life," said Karan Johar.Join conversation The ninth season has already hosted a string of popular names from the film industry.

The guests so far include Salman Khan, Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna.With Samay Raina’s name back in the spotlight, viewers are waiting to see if the comedian officially joins the list before the season wraps up.
