  "account": "Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan has featured three married couples in its final season, but the show continues to struggle for engagement. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, despite their good looks, offered little beyond their roles as a \"good ol' work-in-progress Punjabi family\". The host tried various tactics to save the episode, but without lively guests, it was difficult to generate interest. Karan admitted to feeling indifferent towards the latest episode, highlighting the need for more engaging guests to keep the show relevant.",
