New Delhi: The seventh season of the popular reality show Koffee With Karan hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar seems to have gotten a little monotonous in terms of repeated discussions or comparisons made with actor Alia Bhatt, who beyond any doubt happens to be KJo’s favourite.
After mentioning Bhatt in the second episode of the show, which was graced by Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan, in the third and latest episode consisting of actors Akshay Kumar and Samantha Ruth Prabhu as guests saw the pattern repeat itself, that however did not go well with Netizens.
In the recently released episode, KJo ends up asking Samantha how she felt after ‘beating’ Alia Bhatt on the Ormax list. Instead of being awkward or annoyed by the question, Prabhu came up with a sarcastic comeback saying, “Good indeed. I paid the people over at Ormax a pretty high price to top the list”.

No matter how sassy Samantha has been throughout the show despite being asked several annoying questions on the chat show, social media users were quick to notice the unneccesary and irrelevant mention of Alia’s name on the show and begin trolling Johar for continously promoting Alia on the show.
Check several reactions here:
.@Samanthaprabhu2 after being in the No.1 position on @OrmaxMedia,
I should be honest. I am paying someone at Ormax ?
Karan: You beat Alia Bhatt dude, How does that feel?#Samantha : Sorry, It was a high price to pay ???

KJo asking samantha- “you beat alia bhatt dude,how are you feeling?”when will this alia promotion stop. this is so irritating. why does karan think bollywood has never seen anything better than alia. heights of narcissism.— Tee (@yolo2776) July 21, 2022
Kjo to #Samantha: You beat Alia, dude; how does it feel? He’s talking as if Sam beat Srideviji or Tabu or Vidya or someone of dat stature. He has been pushing Alia not just being the greatest actor but the biggest star. Insane #KoffeeWithKaran7 #KoffeeWithKaranS7 #KoffeeWithKaran

The way he compared sam with alia and asking her not to take #RanveerSingh‘s name.. Dude this is called nepotism. Karan johar and his baisedness towards alia and ranbir is clear in every episode. #KoffeeWithKaran7 #SamanthaRuthPrabhu #Samantha
