Twinkle Khanna Refutes Illegitimate Bond With Alia Bhatt's In-Laws, 'I Almost Became A Kapoor...'

Bollywood divas, Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, are up with a new, fun project, Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle. It's a chat show where Bollywood celebrities appear in pairs and spill the tea about their lives and careers, much like the format of Koffee With Karan. In its latest episode, released on Prime Video on October 2, 2025, the hosts welcomed the fan-favourite on-screen duo, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Fans loved hearing the two actors share insights into their respective parenthood. However, the highlight was host Twinkle's clarification regarding the rumours of her alleged relationship with Alia's in-laws.

Twinkle Khanna refuted speculations of being illegitimately involved with the Kapoors

Rumours swirled a decade back about Twinkle Khanna being Ranbir Kapoor's late father, Rishi Kapoor's illegitimate child. The actress recalled it in the newest episode of her show, Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle. While having a candid chat with Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, she addressed the years-old speculation and refuted it once and for all. Twinkle mentioned how a mindless birthday wish led to such a buzz. The false speculation was sparked by a playful birthday message Rishi Kapoor tweeted for Twinkle Khanna. She narrated it, saying:

"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.'"

In December 2015, on Twinkle Khanna's birthday, Rishi Kapoor tweeted, "Happy Birthday dear one! You were in your mum's tummy when I was serenading her in Bobby in 1973 lol." The reference was to the iconic song Aksar Koi Ladka from the movie Bobby, which starred Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, Twinkle's mother. Fans on social media took the lighthearted tweet literally, with many believing the post suggested Twinkle was Rishi's illegitimate daughter. After facing online trolling, Rishi quickly clarified that Dimple was already three months pregnant with Rajesh Khanna's child during the filming of the song.

Alia Bhatt's reaction to Twinkle Khanna's anecdote

Alia Bhatt, who is Rishi Kapoor's daughter-in-law, was visibly stunned upon hearing the rumour that Twinkle was Rishi's illegitimate child. She was speechless and had an awkward expression. On seeing that, Twinkle tried to lighten the situation with a humorous comment. Varun Dhawan found the situation funny and said that Alia "doesn't know how to react." The incident made the hosts, guests, and the audience collectively crack up. Twinkle reassured Alia saying:

"I am not your sister-in-law; it was a mistake."

Alia Bhatt revealed what kind of father Ranbir Kapoor was

In the same episode, Alia Bhatt opened up about Ranbir Kapoor's father duties and bond with Raha. She jokingly contrasted her father, Mahesh Bhatt's, laid-back reaction to her relationship with Ranbir with how Ranbir will likely be with Raha. She laughed and said Ranbir "will be kicking any boy that comes to the house" when Raha is older. Previously, Alia described the bond between Ranbir and Raha as feeling like a friendship between "two adults or two toddlers at different moments."

She noted that when Ranbir looks at Raha, he has a special glow. Alia has also observed a difference in his overall demeanour since he became a father. Contrary to what people might assume, Alia revealed that Ranbir is actually the one who is specific and involved in putting together Raha's outfits. She added that having Raha has also deepened her and Ranbir's relationship, making them a better and stronger pair than before.
