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.

[@quazimunira]

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

[@sujatachaudhri]

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

[@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.

[@nandinighosh4453]

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

[@ankitashrivastava3028]

For heaven’s sake pls remove that background music !

[@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

[@braingamesballsortgame718]

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

[@monikagaur1421]

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

[@mohinidicholkar2300]

The background music is really taking away the conversation, It's a tone too loud for a 'talk' video. But kudos to KJo to be honest and vocal!

[@beingbongchronicles]

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

[@deepalisinha9813]

Not a fan of either of them......its interesting how twinkle is so manly and Karan so lovely feminine ..but appreciate the honesty of Johar.....well done Karan.

[@TheDogMotherOfJen]

Dearest Twinkle Ma'm We would love to request you to tone down the background music. 🥺

[@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 !!!!

[@vidyanair1306]

Good conversation. This is just a suggestion that the background noise is unnecessary and borderline bothersome.

[@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 👍❤️

If your team is reading any of this, I really request you to lower the volume of the background music. It's really irritating and not very necessary.

[@florence5790]

I wish to see Indian celebrities do interviews in our own language ... I mean we have our own beautiful Hindi language but sadly these celebs copy everything from the Americans

[@isnakhan7181]

For God's Sake remove this background music or make it subtle at least.

[@shreyaparekh9150]

Please do something about the background music..Please

[@vr5663]

You should have shown entire 2 hours video than just 32 mins as Karan has fabulous communication skills.

[@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.

[@prayankaz]

That background music -why it’s so important to have that extra noise. Made it impossible for me to watch beyond first 7-8 min Please remove it

[@bahar6389]

Nice interview but the background music was so unnecessary and irrational.

[@sakshisuryawanshi648]

[@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

[@ghanwatmansi]

Whenever I watch Kjo's interview I literally learn 4 new words😅✨

The music in the background is a little distracting and making it difficult to concentrate on the conversation. It’d be great if you can edit and reupload.

What a lovely outfit twinkle is wearing ❤

[@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.

[@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! ❤💫💫💫

A constructive criticism: Please do not add jazz music or any music for that matter over the videos. They're distracting, louder than the talk itself and often times not needed

[@nehasoni7421]

lovely conversation but very annoying background music, music isn't required at all in such talks. Specially the team could have chosen better suitable music, worst choice.

[@SMon-wh6om]

He is an entertaining celebrity but a big black spot for the LGBTQIA community. Being what he is, he could have made such progressive movies about the cause for the cause but he chose to make dostana and kal ho na ho and since Gen Z started getting more woke, he made kapoor n sons. Basically everything he does is designed for monetary Or other benefits. He has no integrity.

[@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. ❤
