The show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle has been brewing some interesting revelations lately, the most recent one by Twinkle Khanna herself. As always, she left audiences in splits with her signature wit, sharing anecdotes involving the late actor Rishi Kapoor. During Alia Bhatt's appearance on the second episode, Twinkled recalled how a funny birthday tweet from Rishi Kapoor once led to a bizarre misunderstanding that she was his illegitimate daughter. She jokingly said to Alia, 'I am not your sister-in-law."
Twinkle Khanna recounted the incident, revealing how Rishi Kapoor’s birthday post caused quite a stir online and even led to trolling. Sharing the fun story, she 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.’"
Twinkle reiterated to Alia, saying, “I am not your sister-in-law, it was a mistake.”
After this, Alia didn't know how to respond, and even Twinkle's co-host Kajol also hilariously pointed out. Co-guest and Alia's friend, Varun Dhawan teased her by saying, “She doesn’t know how to react."
What Did Rishi Kapoor Tweet On Twinkle's Birthday?
The confusion began after Rishi Kapoor’s birthday wish for Twinkle, where he made a reference to his iconic 1973 debut film Bobby with Dimple Kapadia. His tweet read, "Happy Happy Birthday dear one! You were in your mum's tummy when I was serenading her in Bobby in 1973 lol."
This quirky message sparked confusion, and rumours about Twinkle's birth surfaced.
Following the controversy and massive trolling, Rishi clarified, "Kuch logon ko problem kya hai? Kakaji and Dimple were married, Bobby was still incomplete, we shot that song when Dimple was 3 months pregnant. Kakaji-Dimple married in March '73. Bobby released Sept 28th '73. Twinkle born 29th Dec '73."

During the episode, Alia also shared fond memories working with her father-in-law on the sets of Student of the Year. She said, "I wasn’t dating Ranbir at that time but we (her and Rishi Kapoor) would hang out every evening. He had the most wonderful stories to tell. He would call everybody after shoot to chill and have dinner together. That ambience was very good, I really miss him.”:
She also revealed that their daughter Raha sometimes reminds them of Rishi Kapoor. Alia added, “Now, whenever people see Raha, they say she is mini Rishi Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. There is some of his energy in her and she depicts that from time to time.”
