Josie Totah addresses viral Karan Brar kissing video
Taking to TikTok, Josie posted a video of her looking to camera as Karan grabbed her waist, hugged her and the pair then shared a kiss. Josie soundtracked the video with Lana Del Rey’s ‘Brooklyn Baby’, specifically the line: Yeah, my boyfriend’s pretty cool. Naturally, this led fans to believe that the pair were an item and the video went viral.
However, Josie has now spoken out and confirmed that she and Karan are in no way dating. Posting a stitch to the original video, Josie filmed herself laughing and then seriously said to camera: “It was a joke. It was a joke.”
Josie also captioned the stitch by writing: “WE ARE TWO PLATONIC BEST FRIENDS WHO DANCED A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN.”
Karan also posted an Instagram story saying: “It was a joke. Didn’t mean to gaslight y’all.”
So there we have it, Josie and Karan are NOT a couple.
