When Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan—the iconic 'Varia' pairing that kicked off with Student of the Year over a decade ago—stepped onto the set of the new talk show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, it was clear the audience was in for a nostalgic treat. The duo, whose on-screen chemistry has powered multiple blockbusters, brought their decade-long, unfiltered friendship to the couch, creating an episode that was equal parts chaos and charm.
Their easy camaraderie, which has evolved from shared industry beginnings to discussing their children as the young parents they are today, remains infectious. The return of their banter, complete with playful digs and knowing glances, served as a delightful reminder of why they are still one of Bollywood's most beloved pairs. It’s a chemistry that transcends their cinematic roles, rooted in a genuine, comfortable friendship that has weathered the test of time and fame. Their appearance was less a celebrity interview and more a joyous reunion of two friends who simply know how to bring out the fun in each other.
The Red Flags: Candid Confessions on Relationships and Exes
The true spice of the episode, however, came from the candid segments on relationships and friendship boundaries, expertly steered by the quick-witted hosts, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna. In a segment designed to probe ethical dilemmas, the discussion turned to a topic that has likely been debated in every friend group: "Is it a red flag to remain friends with an ex?"
Kajol, known for her straightforward nature, stated her belief that befriending an ex is a red flag. Alia Bhatt, however, gracefully sidestepped the personal query with a diplomatic and playful response. The most engaging moment came during a game segment where the celebrities were asked their opinion on falling for someone a friend has dated.

While Alia and Kajol leaned towards it being morally acceptable, Varun surprisingly disagreed, prompting Alia to jokingly call him "very hypocritical" and command him to switch his stance. This light-hearted trolling not only sparked laughter but offered a rare, unfiltered peek into their real-life dynamic—a dynamic where Alia's "bossy bestie" persona and Varun’s mischievous humour create relatable, human moments. The segment successfully transformed a typical celebrity chat into a genuinely engaging discussion on modern relationship complexities, encouraging viewers to scrutinise their own friendship boundaries.
An Unfiltered Look at Stardom and Humour
Beyond the serious-yet-fun relationship talk, the episode was packed with the kind of unscripted humour fans crave. Varun Dhawan, in particular, brought his signature brand of self-aware comedy, admitting a hilariously shocking love for repeatedly rewatching the infamous 2000 film Mela. He also playfully quoted his Main Tera Hero dialogue, showcasing the kind of self-deprecating candour that makes him so popular.
This blend of adorable nostalgia, where they reminisced about their Bollywood debuts, and unfiltered fun, where they openly debated red flags, confirms that the 'Two Much' format, driven by the hosts' ability to foster intimacy, is a welcome departure from more formal celebrity interviews. For 'Varia' fans, this episode was a true celebration of an enduring Bollywood bond that is, a decade later, still "too much" fun.
