KWK 8 : The producer, director, show anchor, and actor Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan Season 8 is getting better with each episode. The show is running riot on a streaming platform, with record viewership for weeks. The new episode features the royal mother-son duo, Sharmila Tagore and Saif Ali Khan.

In an interesting KWK 8 Q&A session with Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan revealed that Yash Chopra stood like a rock through his tough years and saved him and his career quite literally.

Saif Ali Khan revealed, "So there were a couple of offers and kind of dried up, Rahul Rawail told me that, this is it. Nobody's going to work with you. And he was a bit sadistic, I must say, because he kind of enjoyed that. And I thought, okay, and they did dry up. And then Yash Chopra ji called me over, and he went over, and he said, I've heard you're very naughty, and you and you gotta give me your word. And he was casting Parampara with a lot of people in the movie."

"There was Aamir, Raveena, Neelam, and Vinod Khanna," added Karan Johar.

Saif Ali Khan continued, “Sunil Dutt too, and I knew that there was a huge multi-starrer, and he wanted this role, but he wasn't finding someone. And he met me, and he said, You promised to be good. That was pretty much it. And I said, Of course, I promise you I will be. And he said, Okay, you're in the movie. And overnight, the office started. And you know how it is. If Yash Chopra is casting, then everyone comes. The same people who had said, "No, we're not interested, were very interested now. So he saved me."
