The first Indian produced English Entertainment show to get high rating in India, Koffee With Karan, is back with all the Celeb glamour and innuendos accumulated over four seasons.

Only three episodes into the season, the show has emerged as the Number One most watched show among Primetime English Entertainment shows on Indian Television.
Are the audiences of Koffee With Karan absolutely hooked on getting a glimpse of the ‘good life’? Do they also watch other popular Celebrity reality shows on Indian Television?
Let’s find out.

In a mark of high show loyalty, a whopping 70% of viewers who watched the first episode on 6th November came back a week later to watch the second episode on 13th November.
1.2 million individuals watched the launch episode of Koffee With Karan. Although the hour witnessed a gradual decline in the number of viewers, Karan Johar’s 60 minutes of celebrity sleaze received high continuity in viewership - 48% of viewers who tuned in during the first half hour continued watching the the second half of the show.
Koffee With Karan has outdone the viewership of other popular English Entertainment shows aired during the same 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM slot: Fear Factor U.S. on AXN, How To Get Away With Murder on Star World and My Kitchen Rules on Colors Infinity.
