Ace filmmaker Karan Johar appeared on Amazon Prime’s Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle with protege Janhvi Kapoor in its latest episode. Kajol, Twinkle and Karan are childhood friends. Janhvi felt like the “fourth wheel” in this childhood reunion of the three veterans. Star duos like Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, and Chunky Panday and Govinda have appeared on the show before the actor-director duo. The My Name Is Khan director opened up about body dysmorphia, virginity and more. Karan Johar, being a veteran when it comes to talk shows, introduced himself on the show. In one of the segments of the show, Twinkle also called Karan “the most likable hated person.” Known for her great sense of humour, Twinkle discussed Karan’s take on body dysmorphia and joked how he has transitioned himself from a “pineapple-pizza” to a “mozzarella pizza”. View this post on Instagram A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) Karan Johar On Struggling With Body Dysmorphia Jokes aside, Karan opened up about body dysmorphia and began, “If you are not true in an interview, there is no point in giving one.” He shared that he has never shied away from discussing taboo topics like mental health issues, body dysmorphia and of course, his insecurities out in the open. He said that he struggled with body dysmorphia and has grown up with it. “I am very uncomfortable in my own skin,” stated Johar. Even though the director is still bothered by the issue but as per Johar, it has become better; however, he is still very self-conscious. When Khanna complimented him about losing weight, he said, “It does not matter what you may be physically. In your head, you are never going to change what’s going on in that space.” Karan also shared that he takes therapy sessions and stated that helping oneself is a “whole journey.” In a podcast hosted by Raj Shamani, Karan Johar had discussed body dysmorphia earlier, too. He had revealed that after 52 years, he finally felt confident. He talked about how he still can’t even look at himself in the mirror without clothes on. Karan Johar Opens Up On Losing His Virginity When Janhvi asked Karan to tell one truth and a lie for her and the hosts to guess which one was real, Karan said two things. He stated, “I lost my virginity when I was 36 years old and I have been intimately involved with a member of your family.” Hearing this, Janhvi was shocked while the hosts of the show were in splits. Karan quickly came to her rescue and cleared that his second statement is a lie and he has not been intimate with anyone from the Kapoor clan. Karan added that this thought did cross his mind several times.
