Salman Khan revisits his 13-year-old ‘virgin’ remark on Koffee

Salman Khan walked onto the first couch of Koffee With Karan Season 9 and finally addressed a comment that has trailed him for 13 years. The episode, hosted as always by Karan Johar, opened the show’s final season—and Salman came prepared to speak his mind, even if a few doors stayed closed.

The comment in question was the superstar’s old line about being “still” a virgin. According to Salman, it was never meant as a literal confession. It was a way of telling Karan that he did not want to talk about relationships. After all, he reasoned, you may announce you are dating someone, but that person could end up marrying somebody else.

The family rule that explains everything

Salman traced his guarded approach to his father’s advice. Since he was 16, he has followed a simple split: public life is the living room, open to the entire country; private life is the bedroom, completely off-limits. Whatever can be said in the living room should be shared, but the bedroom never needs to come on a talk show.

That line helps fans understand why the actor rarely gives relationship timelines, and why he is comfortable discussing films, family and even fatherhood while staying silent on a partner.

Loneliness, happiness and kids

Karan turned the conversation emotional by asking if Salman feels lonely without a life partner. He pushed back: “You are the loneliest when nobody wants to be with you.” He added that nobody stopped him from having a partner, and that he is happy with his current life.

On children, Salman was unusually direct. “Of course I will have children at some point of time,” he said, before telling Karan he was happy when the host became a parent via surrogacy. His short summary: kids will come in.

What this means for the final season

Starting the final season with Salman Khan is a statement. The show has always sold access, but this episode is a reminder that even the most candid guest can hold a boundary. Here are the three takeaways from the premiere:

• He decoded his 13-year-old “virgin” remark as a privacy boundary, not a confession.
• He called public life a living room and private life a bedroom that should stay off-limits.
• He confirmed he wants children someday, without giving a timeline.

Who else may sit on the couch

If reports hold, the final season is assembling familiar faces. Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are among the names reportedly expected in upcoming episodes. For Bollywood fans, that turns the farewell season into a chance to catch regulars one last time.
