Varun Dhawan and Anil Kapoor graced the couch in the most recent episode of Koffee With Karan 7. The celebrities captivate the audience with discussions on relationships, marriage, infidelity, role-playing, nepotism, and competitive rivalry. Anil was questioned on his opinion of nepotism as well, and the star responded that he does not take it too seriously.

He said, "I just don't take it seriously. I feel you just keep doing your work and your work speaks. This is a kind of question, especially if you are an actor, you can't pass on that legacy to your brother or son. You either have it or you don't. I remember when I started, there was Sunny (Deol), Sanju (Sanjay Dutt)."

Anil was cut off by the show's host, Karan Johar, who attempted to include Jackie Shroff there too. Anil said that Jackie Shroff was an outsider in contrast to the actors he named, regardless of the fact that Ghai's film gave him his breakthrough and instantly elevated him to stardom. He stated, "I, at that time, was doing big roles and South Indian films and I did feel bad. The day I signed a Yash Chopra film, I felt like now I am fine".

Anil acknowledged having insecurities over Jackie's achievements when Karan questioned him about them. He said, "Jackie became a huge huge success and I remember it so well that on sets, when people came to take his autographs, Jackie asked me to sign the autograph book as well and that was amazing."

On the other hand, Karan was taken aback by the fact that Anil Kapoor felt uneasy, since it is often the opposite. Anil emphasized that he had been given only little roles at the beginning of his career and claimed he was steadily establishing his career.

Koffee With Karan has been the subject of controversy ever since the current season's launch. Several stars from the Indian film industry have graced the couch, including Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, Akshay Kumar and Samantha, Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda, and many more. Currently available on Disney+ Hotstar is Koffee With Karan Season 7 Episode 11.
