Twinkle Khanna and Kajol sparked strong reactions with their takes on marriage and relationships on their talk show, facing backlash online. They have now clarified that their comments were meant to be lighthearted and admitted a disclaimer should have been added from the start. In a bonus episode, filmed after streaming began, the duo addressed the criticism as the series recently concluded.

In the episode, Kajol joked that a segment had “gotten us into a lot of trouble,” stressing it was meant for playful teasing, not serious opinions. Twinkle Khanna agreed, admitting a disclaimer should have been added from the first episode, urging viewers not to take or follow their advice.

The show faced peak backlash during the This or That segment featuring Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon, when Kajol, married to Ajay Devgn, suggested marriages have an “expiry date” with a renewal option.
They sparked major backlash when an episode appeared to normalise infidelity, drawing debate over physical versus emotional cheating. In that conversation, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna said physical infidelity was “not a deal breaker” for them, leading to a sharp This-or-That exchange between guests Janhvi Kapoor and Karan Johar.

The duo later clarified their remarks were meant to be lighthearted. The bonus episode featured cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma.
