Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s talk show, Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle, may not have won big numbers on streaming, but it's getting attention for various reasons.

The show’s ratings may be modest, but its impact has unexpectedly shifted.

Instead of celebrity chatter, it has opened a window into how quickly opinions on a couch can turn into national talking points, and how stars now find themselves clarifying not their roles, but their jokes.

The segment called This Side That Side has been at the centre of the show’s backlash.

A previous episode with Karan Johar and Janhvi Kapoor triggered an online debate after the group discussed emotional and physical cheating.

Kajol, Twinkle, and Karan argued that emotional cheating felt worse, while Janhvi firmly disagreed. The light jokes and generational banter that followed did not land well with many viewers.

Another comment that drew wide criticism was Kajol’s idea that marriages should come with an “expiry date” or a renewal clause, to avoid long-term suffering.

After weeks of social-media criticism, the two stars have finally addressed the noise.

The latest bonus episode, featuring cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, slipped in an unexpected moment of self-reflection.

As they moved toward a segment, Kajol openly admitted the section had caused “a lot of trouble,” calling it a space where “opinions don’t matter as much as light-hearted teasing.”

Twinkle followed with a disclaimer they now wish had been there from day one: nothing said in the segment should be taken seriously.
