Late actor Rishi Kapoor's legacy continues to be remembered in Bollywood, with his humor and memorable anecdotes still being shared. Recently, on Kajol and Twinkle Khanna's talk show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt shared funny stories about the late star.

Social media storm
'I almost became a Kapoor because of Alia's father-in-law'
"I almost became a Kapoor because of Alia's father-in-law. On my birthday, he tweeted very generously, 'Oh you know... when you were in your mother's stomach, I serenaded her.' So everybody thought that I was his illegitimate daughter," Khanna said. Notably, Kapoor and Kapadia had debuted together in Bobby, with the latter shooting portions of it pregnant. After being trolled for the tweet, Kapoor clarified that Kapadia was already married to Rajesh Khanna during the filming.

Another story was shared by Dhawan about his first film, Student of the Year. He shared an incident where Kapoor criticized his hairstyle, saying it didn't move, no matter what. "Rishi ji said, 'What's this? Your hair doesn't move at all. Whether it's a storm or a hurricane, your hair doesn't budge. You're playing football, your hair should move.' Remove this gel, I won't give the shot." Dhawan added that Kapoor agreed to resume shooting once the gel was gone.
