Koffee With Karan 9 is moving quickly, and the couch now has its next guests. Episode 3 is set to stream on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, at 7 PM IST in India, with Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan joining host Karan Johar.
After earlier episodes this season sparked conversation around Bollywood stars, personal revelations and candid moments, the next instalment carries a simple hook: two actors who have already shared screen space, now sharing the couch.
Who is on the couch in Episode 3?
The episode promo confirms the pairing. Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan will sit with Karan Johar for a conversation expected to cover their films, personal experiences and their equation with each other. Because the two actors have already worked together in Bawaal and are associated with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, the episode should have the rhythm of two co-stars who know each other well.
Arjun Kapoor is a familiar name from earlier seasons on the couch, having appeared with several Bollywood stars, but the new promo points to Janhvi and Varun for this instalment.

What to expect from the conversation
The promo hints at jokes and playful exchanges, so the episode is likely to lean into the show’s lighter side. Earlier instalments this season have already sparked chatter around Bollywood stars, personal revelations and candid moments, and Episode 3 looks set to continue that mix.
For fans, it is also a chance to see Janhvi and Varun away from a formal film promotion, in the looser setting that makes the Koffee couch a talking point after every episode. The pairing matters because a talk show lives on chemistry, and a duo that has faced the camera together often brings an easy, unforced energy. That chemistry is usually what turns an episode into clips, reactions and next-day headlines.
