After the success of season 6, the 7th season was fated but as per the recent reports, the upcoming season has been shelved.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, Karan's chat show could be shelved out forever. A source revealed to the portal "With the ongoing controversy around, the channel has decided to not shoot the seventh season anytime soon. They have expressed their concerns and are aware that the new season if begun, will face a lot of ire from the audience and on social media."

"While the Coronavirus outbreak has also played spoilsport, several leading actors have also decided to not shoot for the show, because they don't want to add more fuel to the fire. Now, Star has to take a call on whether they want to discontinue the show completely henceforth", the source added further.
