Oooh, why is a rival channel (NDTV) advertising KWK which comes on Star ? Only it&#8217;s not exactly &#8220;Koffee with Karan&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s actually a preview for &#8220;Koffee with Karan&#8221;. A full-fledged program, by itself. On NDTV. <\/p>\n<p>How is Johar managing to get away with this ? Why is Star not raising hell ? How is selling a preview of a &#8220;Star&#8221; program on NDTV, not a violation of  some of that fine print on the contract which I&#8217;m sure Johar signed with Star TV ?  A preview of KWK should actually go to Star. Agreed that Johar now has a stake in NDTV but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can actually take the fizz out of a program on a rival network. Is it ethical ? And ethics be damned, is it legal ?<\/p>\n<p>Still, I must admit with the second season of KWK, I have bigger problems at hand. By the will of the TV Gods, KWK and &#8220;The Apprentice&#8221; now come on Sundays at the same time, and I must decide which one to record and which one to watch in real time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/11570614-8083601298046953225?l=reviewroom.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching NDTV the other day, I come across this ad. for Koffee with Karan.
