Karan Johar reveals he lost his virginity at 26
What's the story
Filmmaker and producer Karan Johar recently appeared on the new chat show Too Much on Prime Video, hosted by his close friends Kajol and Twinkle Khanna. Accompanied by Janhvi Kapoor, the episode was filled with both humor and emotion. Famous for revealing Bollywood's biggest spicy tidbits to the public via his own chat show, Johar had a personal confession to make this time.
Revelation
'I was intimately involved with a member of your family'
The episode featured a fun challenge where Johar was asked to share one scandalous truth and one lie. With a mischievous smile, Johar said, "I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old, and I have been intimately involved with a member of your (Kapoor's) family." As Kapoor's eyes widened in shock, he clarified that the latter statement was false. About the virginity bit, he said, "I was late to that party, yes."
Actor rankings
Ranking sex appeal of these men
Later in the episode, Kajol and Khanna asked Johar to rank Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and the Pahariya brothers, Shikhar and Veer, on their sex appeal. Kapoor chimed in with a playful compliment for Shikhar, her boyfriend, saying he looked great riding a horse. Johar humorously added that he was trying to "unsee" Shikhar on the horse while ranking them as Akshay, Ajay, and then the brothers.
Emotional revelation
Heartbreak that inspired 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' dialogue
The episode took a serious turn when Johar opened up about his personal heartbreak, which inspired a line in his 2016 film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. He recited the poignant verse: "Jab pyaar mein pyaar na ho, jab dard mein yaar na ho... Dhadkano ne saath chhod diya - Ae Dil Hai Mushkil." This revelation added an emotional depth to the otherwise light-hearted episode.
