Karan Johar Talks About Body Dysmorphia On Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle: "It's A Whole Journey"

The latest episode of Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle was too much fun because the guests were the OG host, Karan Johar, and Janhvi Kapoor, who felt like a 'fourth wheel in the childhood reunion of Karan, Kajol, and Twinkle'.

Not only did Karan Johar introduce himself but he also told the hosts that he was trying to save the show with his witty one-liners. 

In one of the segments, Twinkle said that Karan "the most likable hated person". She added that since he had spoken about struggling with body dysmorphia (BDD), he had transitioned from being "a pineapple pizza (hateful) to a mozzarella pizza (lovable)".
