Mumbai: Filmmaker Karan Johar, who recently appeared as a guest on the talk show 'Too Much With Kajol And Twinkle', left eyes rolling by stating that he lost his virginity at 26 with a member of Janhvi Kapoor's family. In the recent episode of the chat show, actress Janhvi Kapoor was also invited as a guest along with Karan. During a game segment 'truth or lie', Janhvi challenged Karan to reveal something scandalous. "Tell us one scandalous truth about yourself and make up one lie, and we'll guess which one is true," the actress asked the filmmaker. To this, Karan replied, "I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old, and I've been intimately involved with a member of your family".
