The man who has spent years making Bollywood spill its deepest secrets, finds himself across a hosting duo just as smooth and unfiltered. Karan Johar joins Kajol and Twinkle on Prime Video’s Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, and for once, the questions aren’t his to ask. Joining them is Janhvi Kapoor, Bollywood’s queen of candour-in-the-making, whose mix of wit and vulnerability perfectly complemented Karan’s honesty. What follows is rapid-fire banter, surprising reveals, and moments of genuine warmth, as conversations move from playful to deeply personal with absolute ease.
While playing ‘truth or lie,’ Janhvi challenged Karan to spill, “Tell us one scandalous truth about yourself and make up one lie, and we’ll guess which one is true.” Karan replied with a mischievous smirk, “I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old, and I’ve been intimately involved with a member of your family.” Janhvi’s eyes widened and Twinkle and Kajol burst out laughing as Karan immediately stated that he did in fact lose his virginity at 26 and the latter was a lie, “I was late to that party and I have not been intimate with any member from your family. Though the thought has crossed my mind a couple of times.”
Kajol and Twinkle get Karan to rank Akshay, Ajay, and the Pahariya brothers on sex appeal. Janhvi tried to steer him, jokingly complimenting Shikhar, “Can I just say that Shikhar looks great riding a horse. I remember when Shikhar was playing polo and Ranveer was standing with me and he was like, ‘He looks great on a horse’. And I was like yeah.” Karan couldn’t resist adding his signature humour, “I am trying to unsee Shikhar on this horse and rank in order of sex appeal – Akshay, Ajay, I would place the brothers at number 3. They have grown up in front of me, you know they are my neighbours, they live below my apartment.”
Janhvi admits Sridevi never wanted her to act, reflecting on her mother’s protectiveness while growing up, she said, “We were giving everyone so much access. And at that point, mom was still very strict about ‘I don’t want you to be an actress.’ So she was like, ‘What’s the point? It’s fine if people see her with body hair and two chotis and a mustache.’ It was just the worst combination of things specifically for me because my teenage years coincided with the onset of the social media boom.” Janhvi shared a deeply personal poem for her mother, Sridevi, “Bachi thi phir achanak ek din woh haq kho diya, jo laad mangti thi usse muh mod liya, apni awaz kho ke apni maa ki awaz me baat karti hu, issi jariye me unke paas bhi rakhti hu”
Karan shares how his own heartbreak inspired a line in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, “It’s about anyone with a broken heart. So it’s like I hope I say it right, ‘ Jab pyaar mein pyaar na ho jab dard mein yaar na ho. Jab aansu main muskaan na mo. Jab lafzon me zuban na ho. Jab saanse bas yuhi chale. Jab har din mein raat dhale. Jab intezar sirf waqt ka ho. Jab yaad uss kambakkht ki ho. Kyun main rahi jab woh hai kisi aur ki manzil. Dhadkano ne sath chhod diya Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’”.
The episode starts with laughs, ends with heart, and stays just the right amount of too much.
Conceptualised and produced by Banijay Asia, this one-of-a-kind talk show is presented by Oppo and co-presented by Kohler, Kalyan Jewellers and Fevi Kwik. The fifth episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle will stream tonight on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide, with new episodes dropping every Thursday.
