Season 7 of Koffee With Karan, Karan Johar's most talked-about show, has drawn a lot of attention due to its controversies. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Akshay Kumar appeared on the most recent episode where they candidly discussed their personal and professional lives. However, one specific verbal interaction with host Karan Johar had the audience in a rage. Fans are angry with Karan because of how he treated Nayanthara in front of Samantha.

Karan questioned Samantha about the biggest female actor she believed to be in the South film industry. In her statement, Samantha made reference to her most recent album, Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (2022). She said, “Well, I just did a film with Nayanthara.” Samantha hinted that she believes Nayanthara to be the biggest actress in South India's various industries. In his response to Samantha, the filmmaker said, “Well, not in my list!” The fans of Nayanthara were offended by Karan's statement.
