Salman Khan and Kajol

A star-studded inaugural episode of the much-anticipated celebrity talk show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle is streaming on Prime Video (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch the show with a top-up). Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, two of Bollywood's biggest actors, graced the first episode with their frank stories and warm memories as they chatted with the hosts.

Twinkle Khanna recalls first encounters with the Khans

Twinkle Khanna started the show by enquiring about the actors' recollection of their initial encounter. Twinkle immediately recalled an incident involving Salman, while Aamir said he could not remember. She stated, "I clearly remember that I saw him sitting with Sangeeta (Bijlani), and I was on a cycle myself. I kept looking at them while riding the cycle and rode it into a ditch." According to Twinkle, she was thrilled to see Aamir at a studio, but she rode her bike into a ditch because she couldn't stop staring at them.

Reminiscing about her initial meeting with Salman, Kajol also got in on the action. "I was just 12 years old at the time and called him ‘Salman uncle’," she admitted.

Salman Khan reminisces about his bond with Kajol's father

In his kind reply, Salman brought up the unique relationship he had with Kajol's dad, Shomu Mukherjee. "I was so close to her father, and we had a great relationship. He used to come over to my house at least twice a week. The last time he came over was just two days before he passed away. He came inside, sat down and said, ‘Ek drink bana de (make me a drink).’ I said, ‘Arey Shomu da nahi (Please don’t). Then he said, ‘Koi baat nahi, ek do din mein jaa raha hoon. Tu ek drink bana de bas. (It doesn’t matter because I am leaving in a few days).’ I made him a drink, and within two days he was gone," Salman revealed.

As he continued to think about the bond between the Mukherjees and his father, Salim Khan, he said, "The Mukherjees are one of the best families."

Remembering Shomu Mukherjee

Notable filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee died after a heart attack in 2008. Kajol has frequently shared stories about her special relationship with her dad, including the time he wanted to name her Mercedes—a choice that Kajol's mom, Tanuja, eventually rejected.
