The 8th Season of "Koffee with Karan" kicks off with a bang featuring Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. The duo from "Student of the Year 2" infused much-needed excitement into the show's fifth episode. Departing from recent episodes that lacked entertainment, their appearance brought in fresh, positive vibes with amusing anecdotes about dating, friendships, and family life. Karan Johar revealed an intriguing fact – both Varun and Siddharth initially did not want Alia Bhatt to be part of "Student of the Year."

Karan jovially shared how Varun and Sid sent messages expressing concerns about Alia being too young for a lead role, a claim they both denied. However, after the film's release, Alia skyrocketed in fame, leaving Sid and Varun behind in star status and career trajectory.

Adding spice to the gossip, rumors circulate about their romantic entanglements during their assistant directing days on "My Name Is Khan." Allegedly, Varun had a Desi romance while Sid opted for something more exotic. Additionally, whispers about Sid's connection with the chauffeur, Willoughby, have intensified the drama.

The narrative twists further when it's revealed that Sid and Kiara's first encounter didn't occur on the set of "Shershaah" but rather at a wrap-up party for "Lust Story," orchestrated by Karan. Despite Sid's reputation for avoiding parties, their paths crossed, sparking a relationship under the auspices of fate or Karan's matchmaking prowess.

While Sid and Kiara's romance blooms, Varun and Natasha Dalal's relationship also comes into focus. Beyond their love, Sid and Kiara are deeply involved with each other's families, with Sid even finding Kiara's dad cool. Varun impresses with his bond with Natasha's parents, signifying a drama-free, family-approved love story.
