Stars respond to rising criticism

Kajol and Twinkle Khanna revisit the controversy surrounding their talk show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle in a newly released bonus episode. The series, which streams on Prime Video, ends its run with the two hosts directly taking on the backlash sparked by their comments on marriage and relationships.

The bonus episode is filmed after the original episodes begin streaming. Kajol opens the segment by acknowledging how their discussions have landed them “in a lot of trouble,” noting that the tone is meant to be playful. Twinkle adds that they should have included a disclaimer early on, stressing that viewers should not take their comments in that segment as guidance.

What viewers reacted to

Several moments from the show fuel heated reactions online, including an episode featuring Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon. In a This or That segment, Kajol says marriages should have an expiry date with an option to renew, prompting wide debate about her stance.

Another episode draws sharper criticism when Kajol and Twinkle discuss infidelity during a conversation with Janhvi Kapoor and Karan Johar. They argue there is a difference between physical and emotional cheating, with both suggesting that physical infidelity is “not a deal breaker.” Karan echoes the sentiment, while Janhvi disagrees, saying the “deal is broken.” Twinkle remarks that age and experience shape their views, adding that younger guests may not relate yet.

Context behind the bonus episode

The bonus episode features cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma. Kajol and Twinkle use the opportunity to clarify that the show’s most debated lines come from a segment built around teasing, humor and candid reactions rather than serious advice.

They emphasize that viewers may have interpreted their remarks without the playful framing that was intended for the show from the start.

About the talk show and its guests

Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle begins with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan as the first guests. Over its run, the show features a wide lineup of celebrities including Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha and Janhvi Kapoor.

The series leans on unscripted conversations and spontaneous exchanges. This format helps it draw attention but also generates the very debates the hosts now directly address in the closing episode.
