Twinkle Khanna and Kajol Address Backlash Over Bold Takes on Marriage and Infidelity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, hosts of the candid talk show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle<\/em>, recently responded to the online backlash sparked by some of their opinions on marriage and fidelity. The show, known for its unfiltered conversations with Bollywood personalities, had stirred controversy during earlier episodes featuring Karan Johar and Janhvi Kapoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosts Speak Out in Bonus Episode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a newly released bonus episode, filmed after the main episodes had aired, the duo addressed the criticism directly. As they prepared for an \u201cAgree and Disagree\u201d segment with cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, Kajol joked, \u201cNow it\u2019s time for our next segment, which has gotten us into a lot of trouble,\u201d before adding that the segment was meant to be playful rather than serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twinkle Khanna admitted they should have included a disclaimer earlier, saying, \u201cAnd there\u2019s a disclaimer, which we should have had from the first episode, that nothing we say in this segment should be taken seriously. Please don\u2019t follow any of our advice in this segment.” Their lighthearted approach aimed to clarify that the controversial statements were not prescriptive advice but humorous, opinion-based banter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Controversial Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The backlash originated from earlier conversations about fidelity and marriage. In one episode, Karan Johar remarked, \u201cPhysical infidelity is not a deal breaker,” to which Janhvi Kapoor responded firmly, \u201cNo, the deal is broken.” Twinkle added her perspective, reflecting on generational differences: \u201cWe\u2019re in our 50s, she\u2019s in her 20s, and she will get into this circle soon. She hasn\u2019t seen the things we have seen. Raat gayi baat gayi (What\u2019s happened, has happened).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another moment that drew attention was Kajol\u2019s take on the institution of marriage. When asked if marriages should come with an expiry date and the option to renew, she responded, \u201cI definitely think so. Who says you will get married to the right person at the right time? So, you should have a renewal option. And if there\u2019s an expiry date, then we don\u2019t have to suffer for too long.\u201d Twinkle, however, disagreed with Kajol\u2019s opinion, highlighting that their discussions were meant to reflect diverse viewpoints rather than a unanimous stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosts Aim to Set the Record Straight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonus episode was a chance for the hosts to explain that their conversations were meant to entertain, provoke thought, and generate dialogue rather than offer life advice. Their playful tone and candid style, which have always been a signature of the show, sometimes led to misinterpretations online. By openly addressing the backlash, Twinkle and Kajol reinforced that the show\u2019s intention is humor and candid discussion, not prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
