Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, hosts of the new talk show ‘Two Much’, are facing significant online criticism after a recent episode discussing infidelity went viral. Joined by Karan Johar and Janhvi Kapoor, the conversation delved into the nuances of emotional versus physical cheating. It was Khanna’s particularly controversial remark, ‘Raat gayi, baat gayi’ (meaning ‘what’s happened, has happened’), that ignited a heated debate on social media.
During a segment titled ‘This or That’, Kajol shared her views on relationship compatibility, stating that love can fade if partners are not aligned. The discussion then shifted to infidelity, with Janhvi Kapoor firmly asserting that physical cheating would be an absolute deal-breaker for her. However, others in the group leaned towards emotional betrayal being more damaging. Karan Johar chimed in, suggesting physical infidelity might not be a deal-breaker, a sentiment Janhvi immediately refuted.
Twinkle Khanna then offered her perspective, seemingly drawing from experience, and remarked, ‘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. Raat gayi, baat gayi.’ This statement, implying a casual acceptance of past indiscretions, quickly drew ire from online users who accused the stars of normalizing infidelity.
The controversial clip was widely shared, particularly on platforms like Reddit, where users expressed dismay and disappointment. Many praised Janhvi Kapoor for her strong stance on boundaries and self-respect, contrasting it with what they perceived as a more lenient attitude from Khanna and Kajol. Comments ranged from sadness that the older celebrities seemed to have accepted cheating, to outright condemnation of their views. Neither Twinkle Khanna nor Kajol have publicly responded to the backlash.
