Karan Johar’s show fell in trouble after a writer accused the show of plagiarism and lifting their work without any credits and permission. A writer journalist took to her social media handle to bring the truth to light.
A writer recently took to her social media handle and revealed that the latest episode of the show which featured Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor had used content that they created.

Writer-journalist Manya Lohit Ahuja took to her Twitter handle to post the clip from the latest episode. Confirming her claim, she also posted an article she had written for an entertainment portal in 2020, which contained the same question. The article was titled ‘Calling all Bollywood Buffs: Guess the movie with the help of these badly explained plots’ and included the K3G question. Manya wrote, “So #KoffeeWithKaran lifted the IP I started at @iDivaOfficial and used the whole copy verbatim??? I came up with this concept and I had a lot of fun writing these but to not be credited just because it was frivolous is not acceptable!? If you lift the copy, give the credit.”
She also wrote on Instagram, “I have decided that I cannot let this go. I want credit for my work— it may not be world-changing work, but it is mine nonetheless.” Further in the post she even tagged Karan Johar, Disney Plus Hotstar and creative writer Shreemi Verma on the post.
