The host justified her remark by saying "We're in our 50s, she's in her 20s, and she will get into this circle soon. She hasn't seen what we have."Karan added, "I don't think it's (physical cheating) a deal breaker. Sometimes thand lag jaati hai."
Ananya Panday episode
When Farah Khan and Ananya Panday were the guests, Kajol and Twinkle reacted to the statement that older people are better at hiding their affairs than younger people. While Twinkle, Farah and Ananya agreed, Kajol disagreed. Khanna defended her opinion and said, “Older people are much better, lots of practice." Kajol believed, “I feel younger people are much better at hiding everything about their lives, affairs." Ananya added that due to social media, ‘everything comes out anyway’. The second statement was that today’s kids change their partners faster than they change outfits. Twinkle agreed whereas the other three had different views. The Mela actor shared, “It’s a good thing because in our time, it was like, ‘What will people say? We can’t do this.’ They are changing their partners quickly, and I think it’s a good thing." When Ananya said, “People have always been changing their partners. Earlier, it was a bit quiet," Twinkle added, “It’s much easier for them because they have no baggage. They are like, ‘This is not working. Let’s move on quickly.’"
Vicky Kaushal episode
In the episode featuring Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon, Kajol reacted to the statement - “Should marriage have an expiry date and a renewal option?” Kriti, Vicky, and Twinkle disagreed and stood in the red zone. Kajol agreed to it and went to the green side. Twinkle said, “No, it’s marriage, not a washing machine.” Kajol defended her stand and shared, “I definitely think so. What guarantees that you’ll marry the right person at the right time? A renewal option would make sense and if there’s an expiry date, no one has to suffer for too long.” Kajol and Twinkle’s show
