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.

[@rukhs143]

I agree

[@sjc6128]

What an honest and heart touching interview. Beneath his garb of arrogance, he is as human as one can get. I love the honesty. Well done.

[@Maddy-kb2co]

Good man or bad , hes def a very smart individual and I love listening to him talk.

[@anamikachowdhury5762]

Really. First time I feel proud and encouraged by listening his conversation.

[@chandrikarao7538]

Just love Karan as a human.Wonder how people can not understand him . I identify so much with him …..HIS kindness, goodness , manners , deep friendships , loyalty ,honesty and full of love for all , ability to laugh at himself …everything is wonderful

That's only one side.. Other side annoys, harasses, and troubles others.

He is sensitive ❤ but at the same time, he is nasty sometimes to other people

[@monikagaur1421]

@DullahChadarmod no but what I see him talking on various platforms. I watch a lot of interviews. Based on that I said this... maybe he is a different person if you know him personally

[@quazimunira]

Wonderful interview. I have always loved hearing Karan Johar, he seems so Frank and honest about his inner struggles.

[@nandinighosh4453]

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 !!!!

[@chimiyangzom6050]

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.

[@ShubhaJaggi]

At his most vulnerable. To ANY narrow minded thinker who think the rich don't have problems, please listen to this interview. Thanks Karan, you're more lovable here than in your own show!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@karishmad2200]

Loved the interview..karan sir was so open, raw and real.felt wonderful to see this side of 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

[@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 👍❤️

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🧿.

[@rupala5586]

Sometimes I feel like Karan is the brother I wish I had .....one thing is there only looking at the good side of him ,he is extremely loyal to his own circle.And thats appreciable!

[@msguruprasad1]

I have admired Karan more for the words that he doesn't speak. When you are at peace with yourself, can you be that honest and detached while speaking about yourself. His strong family roots have kept him grounded and relatable. Another endearing character to me, but grossly misunderstood.

[@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 ❤

[@pritiparmar1002]

What a lovely outfit twinkle is wearing ❤

[@fotedargeeta]

Karan speaks well..no doubt about it..perhaps he is best in business when it comes to knowledge and being a best father 🥰

[@bharathsy]

I really hope he finds love. He has helped so many ppl to come together

[@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. ❤

[@aparnarau]

I just like KJo..he seems like a genuinely nice person, he knows himself very well n makes no bones about being what he is..for all the flak he gets from nepotism to God knows what..he's such a positive person.

[@marvelouscoachkj]

He is crazily honest to many many stuff... everyone definitely can't be 1 percent of this ..on an interview..hats off

[@anaghaacharekar]

Hello Editor- we are here to listen to the conversation, not the bgm. Stop playing annoying music track

[@preetisuri8635]

[@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! ❤💫💫💫

Karan unabashedly honest to himself, real and take away the regular bollywood tags , he comes across very genuine and relatable. Tina is strictly okay in hosting and karan even as a guest has overshadowed her .

[@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.

[@whateverboss2272]

Twinkle is very articulate and draws the best out of her guests with genuine concern and the right questions...and allows them to speak out their heart. Karan Johar is very unique and special...and needs to just believe in the gift he has...."self realisation and self discovery".Needs to stop depraving himself each time he answers a question. Spells it so nicely"Love is a 04 letter word with 4000 possibilities."
