Koffee With Karan does what most shows and interviews can’t – get us tea that the world doesn’t know about. It seems like there’s something to do with the couch, actors spill the beans, and how. It’s like watching best friends catch up. We have to keep our eyes and ears wide open through each episode, because you never know who says what and when.
But, we get some insight into actors’ lives, which makes them relatable. And these are some of the lesser known facts that were quite a revelation.
1. Ayushmann Khurrana donated sperms.
He mentioned how it was a task for Roadies, and his was among the 3 samples selected out of 5. I mean, this guy has literally done everything.

2. Karan Johar’s real name is ‘Karan Kumar Johar’.
Or as Vicky Kaushal put it – it’s KKJo now. Karan Johar also mentioned that he was named Rahul first, but that lasted for only 12 days. Though, now we know why a lot of characters in his films are named Rahul.

3. Kartik Aaryan got his B.Tech degree after filming for Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2.
In the episode with Kriti Sanon and Kartik Aaryan, both the actors mentioned that they pursued B.Tech, which was also a backup. Because, at the end of the day, ghar wale need the degree, that’s all they worry about, no matter what you’re going.

8. Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan attended the Barry John acting school together.
The Arjun-Varun duo was definitely too funny, I was teary-eyed with all the laughing. They talked about their time together during the acting classes. But, the highlight was definitely their short film, written-directed-edited by Varun Dhawan, who was also the lead actor in it.

12. Ayushmann Khurrana’s nickname is ‘Nishu’.
Of course, there’s a back story to it. He was first named Nishant, but his family changed it to Ayushmann by the time he was 3. So, Nishant changed to Nishu – like how most desis get a nickname, split it in half and add ‘u’.
