Twinkle Khanna with Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan
Twinkle Khanna and Kajol are currently hosting the celebrity chat show Two Much. The second episode of the show featured the reunion of actors Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. On the show, Khanna recalled a hilarious moment when she was mistaken for Rishi Kapoor's illegitimate daughter. She revealed that the misunderstanding stemmed from a birthday tweet the late actor once made for her.
Sharing the memory on the show, Twinkle said, “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. Then he got trolled and had to clarify, saying, ‘No, I am so sorry.’”
