Over the years, we have seen so many famous celebrities sipping some coffee and spilling a lot of beans about their personal and professional lives. While most of the episodes have won the audiences' hearts, there's no denying that some of them created timeless controversies that still live rent-free in media corridors.
However, it's fair to say that Koffee With Karan is probably the biggest celebrity talk show in India.

One of the greatest actors in the history of Indian cinema, Govinda has never appeared on Karan Johar's celebrity talk show, Koffee With Karan. It's a bit tricky to understand why Govinda was never invited as we have seen him appearing in a series of television reality shows and sharing a series of funny anecdotes about his life.
It would've been amazing to see Govinda in action during the rapid-fire round. However, as per Pinkvilla, Govinda once said that Karan doesn't like to be friends with actors, who aren't a part of his group. The iconic actor even added that Karan doesn't even greet people, who don't belong to his group. Well, now it seems quite understandable why Govinda hasn't been a part of the show so far.
The late legendary actress, Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, and even after so many years of her unfortunate demise, her family and fans are still struggling to cope with her loss. It's strange how a glamourous actress like Sridevi, whose life was full of ups and downs, never appeared on Koffee With Karan.
The show's host, Karan Johar was a die-hard fan of Sridevi and even launched her biography after she passed away but couldn't make her appear on his talk show. It was a dream of so many Sridevians (Sridevi's fans) to see their favourite actress being a part of India's biggest celebrity talk show, but it turned out to become a broken dream.
In recent years, if there's one actor, who has inspired generations and has made everyone believe that they can achieve everything, it is Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The actor has become one of the highest-paid actors in Bollywood after his years of struggle finally paid off when Anurag Kashyap cast him in Gangs of Wasseypur.
Despite working with all three Khans, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui never featured on Karan Johar's show, Koffee With Karan. It is often stated that Nawaz's unfiltered take on nepotism is probably the reason why he was never invited by Karan on his celebrity talk show, even when the former was simply ruling the industry.
Popular actress, Disha Patani has made a name for herself in the industry with her movies, bold photoshoots and dating life. The stunning diva has also attended Karan Johar's birthday parties and events time and again, but it's quite hard to understand why she has still not made her Koffee With Karan debut. As per reports, Disha could reportedly appear in the eighth season of the show.
From Tiger Shroff to Varun Dhawan, we have already seen her name being mentioned on the show, but it is unknown why Disha hasn't been invited to the talk show. As per multiple reports, Disha and Karan's bond got slightly sour after Tiger's revelation on Koffee With Karan 7 that he was no longer dating Disha. However, there still needs to be an official confirmation about how things stand between Karan and Disha.

However, the actor shared a friendly bond with Karan Johar, who was also the co-producer of the former's iconic film, The Lunchbox. But even then, we have yet to see the one-liner answers of Irrfan, which could've broken the TRP records of the talk show.
