Celebrity talk shows we can’t wait to watch

When it comes to reality shows, there is one category which gives tough competition to all the singing, dancing and relationship shows that are aired on television. This category is of celebrity talk shows. Indians love to watch their favorite celebrities talk about all things personal and professional, which don’t make it to the fans through their movie/sport or interviews. Watching a relaxed conversation between a celebrity and the talk show host is the best way for fans to get to see how the celeb is in real life, their likes and dislikes and all the inside gossip of the industry. Celebrities too love to hit the couch (on the show) and let their hair down with another celebrity, and answer questions thrown at them by the host.

Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan hosted by Tabassum, Rendezvouz with Simi Grewal, Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai hosted by late Farooq Sheikh, On The Couch With Koel hosted by Koel Puri, The First Ladies hosted by designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Up Close & Personal With PZ hosted by Preity Zinta, Oye It’s Friday hosted by Farhan Akhtar, Simply Baatein With Raveena and Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai hosted by Anupam Kher are some of the talk shows we have loved to watch on Indian television.

Here are some more celebrity talk shows we can’t wait to watch in the coming year.

Yaaron Ki Baarat: Filmmaker Sajid Khan is joining hands with best friend Riteish Deshmukh to host this chat show, which will ‘celebrate friendships’ of celebrities across various fields. Sajid and Riteish became friends way back in 2001 and have done several movies together. The first guests on their show will be Sania Mirza and Parineeti Chopra and the show will begin in the first week of October.

Vogue BFFs: For the first time, Vogue India will also shell out a TV show, a 10-epidose talk show series, which will put Bollywood stars on their hot seat alongside an industry personality (designer, make-up artist, fitness coach, family member, etc.) who know them the best. The BFF pairings will be hosted by the beautiful Kamal Sidhu. With celeb pairings like Deepika Padukone – Anaita Shroff Adajania, Kajol – Mickey Contractor, Kareena Kapoor Khan – Manish Malhotra and Arjun Kapoor – Anil Kapoor, we can’t wait for this show to start!

Koffee With Karan Season 6: This is perhaps, the most loved talk show doled out on TV. Started in 2004, this show is hosted by director-producer Karan Johar. A celebrity pair grace the couch in every episode and Karan brings out some of the juiciest gossip of the industry with his no-holds-barred format. For a celebrity too, it is a thing of honor to be able to make it to this show and chat with Karan!

The Kapil Sharma Show: These days, hardly any Bollywood movie releases without its lead cast promoting it on this comedy show hosted by Kapil Sharma. What started as Comedy Nights With Kapil is now The Kapil Sharma Show, and Kapil has truly changed the scene of comedy shows on television. The ongoing show keeps seeing new stars every weekend and has audiences hooked to the show.

Comedy Nights Bachao Season 2: The comedy show, which saw Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh roasting celebrities who came to promote their movies, will soon have a new format and a new host. Comedy Nights Bachao 2 will start from September 25. This time around, Mona Singh will replace Krushna and Bharti as the host of the show. The second season will see a whole new gang of actors replacing the current gang. The show will start with Prabhu Deva and Sonu Sood as their first guests.
