The Icons: Karan Johar and Twinkle Khanna | Tweak India

Apparently talking to Twinkle Khanna is like talking to a therapist and you may end up spilling all your secrets. We're kicking off our second season of The Icons with the man responsible for supercharging the big fat Indian wedding, Karan Johar. But we promise you, this is the most intimate and vulnerable version of the Koffee With Karan host you've ever seen.

Honest feedback: The background music is very loud and distracting. It is hard to hear the conversation.

[@godhavasantkumar8787]

True

[@vishalghatge4639]

Can't agree more. This background music is not just annoying but very off putting. It would be great if they think of not having and background score next time.

The best episode so far. So authentic. I love KJo's eloquence. I find him classy, intelligent and a huge hearted man.

[@deepikakothari9968]

Both of them are the best hosts of the talk shows , most casual, honest , comic with sincerity , and much more . The way it ended was so so naturally done which never happens in any other talk shows . Wonderful !!!!

[@BeingBongChronicles]

Why the background music? This is such an interesting conversation between two friends who are blatantly honest ... the music is such a distraction 😬

[@ssiddarth]

Lovely conversation, had some great life lessons in it too that would do anyone that adopted them good. The way Karan is so honest & open about his life experiences & thoughts is genuinely laudable, it's a quality that makes him even more likeable & relatable as a human being. Thanks for this 👍❤️

I have noticed Karan is always so hilarious and always so brutally honest at the same time. Whatever he says always hits close to home.

[@sujatachaudhri]

Wonderful chat… Can we not have background music? It takes away from the chat. Or can it be softer? Much love❤️

[@sayantanpolley1584]

These two are like long lost bffs. So wholesome and good😍. Karan whatever you said about your ways of running away from people who love you, trust me it’s so relatable man. I myself am taking therapy for the same thing. I hope you heal well and fast🧿.

[@ShivaniSharma-vt5bx]

Oh, I love both of them! KJo regardless of all the trolls and shitty things ppl tell about him, I only find him a very honest and kindhearted human being. I emphasise with him. I feel bad that he has gone through such things, he is amazing, a wonderful parent, a successful person in his professional life, and a lovely friend to everyone. I don't want him to grow old. I can't see them growing old, he is such an entertainer and has a whole vibe! Love you Karan Johar just in case you read this! Your movies and shows and songs and KWK episodes are all that keep our lives spicy and something all of us look up to regardless of the trolls, you are the topic of discussion for everyone for a reason! Thrive in everything that you wish to do!! 🤗🤗🤗 And twinkle Khanna omg she is just so so so lovely! Cutest and sweetest interview! Can listen to her 24X7! Please make a video or something on your master's experience at this age and how has the journey been! It will be quite inspiring for every woman am sure! ❤💫💫💫

Yaaar! Kitna pyaara interview tha. Loved hearing you both chat. I literally forgot about my surroundings and got transported to your worlds! So candid and so in depth conversations!!❤ thanks for this

[@finnhenderson3909]

Besides all the controversies , Karan Johar seems like a really sweet person and I love how he is so honest and transparent when it comes his insecurities, I feel him on a deeper level because as someone who has been dealing with bodyshaming for as long as I can remember, the mental struggle is real and even though it has gotten a little better I wouldn't say I've fully been able to overcome it even after so many years.

[@tanvikuvalekar4844]

This was such an honest interview. Seeing this side of Karan Johar and how his thoughts have evolved as a single parent is just so refreshing to see.

[@monikaazariah9237]

Loved the conversation...Karan is truly light hearted, yet deep and also has a fun element to him. His sense of humour is wicked and whacky. I loved how comfortable they both are ...and Karan is so honest and grounded.

[@srithianjali2691]

I love karan, hs has always worn his heart on his sleeve and never shied away from talking about his insecurities. He makes himself so relatable by being vulnerable, its a shame that people always bash him. I always enjoy listening to him

[@durdanadancejoy]

I respected him n loved him to some extent but after this one of a kind interview of Karan, i really am so in love with him. I learnt some important stuff from this conversation too! Thank u both. God bless him. Love u Karan! @love from lahore

[@arthia9080]

I have been hoping and waiting for this episode ever since ‘The Icons’ debuted. Glad Twinkle got around to interviewing Karan Johar. She has, respectfully and cheerfully, asked him thought provoking questions, and elicited some easy yet insightful reflections. Thoroughly enjoyed the chat. Priceless observations on important aspects of life that gets taken for granted - education, parenting, biases, people need people. And the behind-the-scenes anecdote about how Kuch Kuch Hota Hai got conceptualized was precious! SRK the genius talent spotter and visionary. I wonder what else got discussed during the 2hours that didn’t make it to this 32 minute final cut! Thank you for this interview with my favourite extroverted, successful, clean-imaged and charismatic Bollywood personality! ------------- Redirecting feedback beyond the personality being interviewed: The background music was an constant irritant, a needless distraction.

[@shabisthatanveer726]

The one who is always there for everyone is also the one who is alone but not lonely and big hearted person with lot's of love for everyone around.. Karan ur all ❤

[@Shinobi926]

“It didn’t feel brave , it fell right” That means when you know it’s time to do sth with your life, you do it even if you’re scared..cuz it feels right. ❤

[@swatibhatia755]

The best episode so far 👏

[@neilnicco]

Karan - I hope you see this, as I’m hoping one of the therapists you have worked with has already shared this but if not: being avoidant in relationship patterns is a sign of being extremely afraid of being discarded or abandoned. It matches with the pattern of only dating unavailable people - if they are unavailable, they cannot leave you. A good therapist can certainly help reconcile this healing - you clealy have a lot of love to give, and will make an amazing partner for someone someday (you have a lot more depth and intelligence and compassion than you let on). But first, become comfortable in your body and soul - then you can love without the fear of not being loved back. A good therapist can help with this journey. ❤
