Okay, okay! Calm down.

I feel like, with this body language of yours,

you are going to go down the boarding school memories.

Which we don't want. Okay?

You're a jealous person because I was in this cool co-ed school,

and you were right next door, in an all-girls school.

That's why you've always been a little "Boy-Crazy, "

as they used to say back in the day.

Listen, my nuns were way cooler than any of the boys in your school.

Let me tell you that, okay?

That's what a jealous person would say.

Right!

-Now, where are our guests? -Hello, dear viewers!

Welcome to the show where secrets are going to spill

like secret sauce, and the hosts are going to pretend

that they've never Googled themselves!

One of them makes 48 expressions per second,

and the other is always correcting my grammar.

Basically, two women, one show.

Both childhood friends. You should be happy I am here

because I am going to be their lifeboat,

because, otherwise, they'll be a sinking Titanic.

See you.

Hello!

I can't believe you gave your own intro.

-I had to. -Why?

I needed to save this show. It would otherwise be

-a debacle. I needed to come here. -But it's debacle not "debacle". Debacle!

I knew you were going to be this grammar-Nazi.

-That's why I said it. -Okay. Thank you for being on our show…

-Now you want to introduce our… -We have another guest!

Yes, we have another guest

who is going to be way more well-behaved

-than the three of us could ever be. -Yes!

She has her mother's grace

and my favorite, Mr. Boney Kapoor's charm!

-Please welcome, Janhvi Kapoor! -Janhvi Kapoor!

Hey, Janhvi!

We promise we'll be better to you

-than we have been to him. -I am already a little scared.

I am feeling like the fourth wheel in this childhood reunion.

Not at all! Don't worry.

Anyway, darling, now we're here, and we'll have to suffer this

-for the next two hours. -Okay!

-Now, we have to feed you. -Yes.

Because you keep complaining that we don't have a great enough spread for you.

If you've read anything online, they think I don't eat

because I am on chemical substances.

Child, don't take that many injections!

You have lost so much weight! Your mother must be upset.

-Poor Mom, doesn't utter a word. -Come. Show them that you eat.

Yes, come on, let's go!

-Okay. -Alright. So…

-We have a lot of food here. -One minute.

I haven't seen so many carbs in a while.

We have this entire cornucopia of dishes because you're very fussy

and keep complaining about what people are feeding

or not feeding you. We want to see if you eat.

I spot something I love.

That's Katsu curry. That's my ultimate favorite!

What do you love here, Janhvi?

I love the Paya curry.

-Oh, that's Paya! -It's my favorite.

I am going to get messy, and I am going to go for the Nalli.

And we've also heard that

along with eating all of this,

you put it in your hair, on your face…

-The eggs and the curd. -Not the Paya curry,

-for sure. -Vegetables.

I mean, we don't know, maybe you like lamb cutlets

-on your cheeks. -No.

I put a lot of egg in my hair, actually.

And then I have this habit of having a shower with

scalding hot water

and the egg cooks on my head, and my hairdresser…

And that's how you have scrambled eggs?

No, my hairdressers end up having the scrambled eggs

when they are blow-drying my hair.

-It's actually sad! -I didn't know about

the egg ritual, and I know a lot of Janhvi's idiosyncrasies.

-But I did not know that… -Egg on the hair is great!

-Your mom does egg… -Did your mom

-ever do this? -On your hair.

My mom… What about yours?

-Your mom is the OG! -Yes.

My mom… A lot of her hair-care tips came from your mom.

-Really? -She said that she'd heard she does this…

-Yes. -Because her mom's hair is like…

-Yes, she did… -A person in its own right.

-Yes. -You know, when you all were

talking about her throwing everything,

even we put everything in our hair.

-Curd, eggs, beer… -Daal Chawal?

Not really Daal Chawal, but yes.

Avocado, banana, coconut milk…

If the Katsu curry didn't have masala,

-it could have gone on my head. -Okay!

By the way, I'm obsessed with your father.

I play this character called "Pinky Maasi" who loves Mr. Boney.

She is obsessed…

-I know everything about him. -And wants to know

if your skincare regime is the same as his.

-He doesn't need one. -No! He's just like

a woman-magnet. Everybody says that.

-Oh, God! -Yes.

But if you take anything…

So far, the show has only traumatized me.

But please take some Paya for my Boney!

-Thank you, come on. -Don't worry, we're…

-packing the leftovers. -Moving on now to the main course.

Okay, come on. Let's do it.

-The bait is here. -Beauty regime…

You're really taking this? Are you crazy?

So, we are going to start with Karan on Karan.

He's been torturing people all the time.

Now, it is time to torture him, and Janhvi, you're on our team.

-Done. -Question number one.

-Rank in order of sex appeal. -Oh, no.

-Yes, yes, yes! -You've done this!

You've done this over a hundred times with us, I want to tell you.

Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Shikhar Pahariya.

-Veer Pahariya! -I think, Shikhar, Karan!

One minute. Two of them are my seniors,

two of them are my exceptional juniors.

And you still want me to rank them in order of sex appeal!

Yeah.

So, who I find the hottest to

-who I find least attractive. -Yes.

Can I just say that… Shikhar looks great riding a horse.

And that visual is meant to

-turn me on? -Not saying that.

-I am just saying. -How kinky are you!

You now want me to imagine your boyfriend on a horse?

Riding away?

Blame your thoughts! I just want to say…

I remember, we were watching Shikhar playing polo,

and Ranveer was standing with me, and he was like…

"He looks great on a horse. " I was like, "Yeah!".

-But it was not Karan who said it. -Yes.

-But I am just saying… -Okay. So, now, I am trying

to unsee Shikhar on this horse. I want to tell you…

Alright, rank in order of sex appeal.

I would say, Akshay, Ajay…

And I would place the brothers at number three.

-Sorry. They've grown up… -I can't choose.

They have grown up in front of me.

Do you know they're my neighbors?

They are under me.

-I mean… -They are under you?

-On a horse? -They live below my apartment.

Are you at the bottom or the top? I mean, with the brothers.

-I am versatile, darling. -Versatile! Okay.

-Something you should aspire to be. -I am very versatile, too, darling.

-Oh! -I have had 11 professions!

Alright. Can I ask you? Akshay was also at the top of your

-"sexy men" list! -We're not discussing this.

-The rapid fire is towards you. -I was deflecting.

-Yes. -I have to say this.

I just told her, she's a little boy-crazy.

In fact, this is one of the few episodes…

Boy-crazy? Karan, please! Clarify this.

-Can I finish? -No.

One of the few episodes where she has not had a crush on the guest

-at some point in time. -Really?

Kajol is one of the most square people I've known in my life.

When I met her, she was in some PG-13 romance,

then she met Ajay, and that was the end of the story.

-Exactly! -So, I don't know

-who she's crushed on in between. -Nobody! You'd have known.

-You would have known. -Who was your last crush?

You just mentioned someone she had a crush on.

That was before she met Ajay.

When she shot with him in Yeh Dillagi,

that crush went away immediately. She said…

I remember, we were at this party together,

and it was the premiere of Henna or one of the RK films,

and I remember, she was going to shoot for Yeh Dillagi,

and she caught hold of me and crushed my bones like she always does.

And said, "God! I want to work with Akshay, he's so hot!"

Then she went on an outdoor shoot for Hulchul with Ajay Devgn.

She said "I am so nervous, I have never met him.

God knows what he'll be like. "

Two weeks later, when she came back

and suddenly she was this coy lady sitting beside me

and she said, "He's very clever, you know?

He's very intelligent, he's very smart. "

I was like "What's going on?"

-Her whole tone shifted. -How sweet!

And before you knew it…

"Hallelujah! I am getting married. "

-I was taken aback. -It was three years

-before it happened. -Yes.

Yes, there were Hulchul, Gundaraj,

-and two other movies. -Yes, two others.

She got married right after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was released.

Hold on! We're in the midst of the rapid fire.

-Sorry. -You're trying to divert it.

-Thanks. Moving on. -Moving on. I've ranked the men.

-Okay, can I ask? -Yes.

Okay, Karan, you need to get a bit creative.

Tell us one scandalous truth about yourself

and make up one lie, and we'll guess which one is true

-and which is false. -Alright.

I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old,

and I've been intimately involved with a member of your family.

-Okay! -I hope it is not…

I hope it's not Boney, that's all.

Please! This episode… I need to go.

I want to have my kheer in the dressing room quietly.

I am just saying, these are the two.

I lost my virginity when I was 26, and that I have been

intimate with one member of your family.

-I think the first one is true. -Yes, me too.

I think the first one is true and the second one's a lie.

Well done, girls! The first one is true.

I was late to that party, and I have not been intimate

with any member of your family.

-Thank God! -Thank God!

Though the thought has crossed my mind a couple of times.

-No! -I feel I know with who also.

-Anyway, moving on. -Okay.

-Moving on… -If you could be a fly on the wall

of any celebrity couple's home, who would you pick

and what would you find? The most peculiar thing.

Well, apparently, in your and Shikhar's house

-I will find a horse. -Not in the house!

Okay, this was brilliant!

Janhvi, this was fabulous!

-You called that upon yourself. -Everybody knows that I like

a good ride.

Okay, I call you Bollywood's Green Chutney and Chaat Masala,

and you're always on the side of the big platter.

But there's something about you.

You're the pineapple on a pizza.

People either love you or hate you,

and I was wondering what makes you the most likable hated person.

I think the perception of my personality type comes from

the show that I did. A show on which I am playing a role.

Where you play acting candor, candid, witty, bitchy, catty…

Whatever! Because you're doing it for the show.

And then people start believing that this is your personality type.

They judge you from there, and it gets stuck.

No matter what kind of human being you are,

people will always believe you are that person

because you have played that part for a certain reason.

I think the hate or trolling comes from the perception

created by that show.

Did it hurt you when you realized that you went out to do this "thing",

and it backfired in this manner?

Initially, there were jokes about my sexuality,

the way I spoke, walked, ran, smoked, did anything!

That time, I let it pass, and it went into amusement

and then indifference. What really used to bother me

at one point in time, during the time

Bollywood was being bashed a lot.

When they started getting personal and attacking my kids.

Saying things like, "How can you bring these children into this world

when they don't have a mother? How selfish of you!"

Really nasty, mean things. I think nothing hurt me more than that.

That hit a spot. That's something I find difficult to recover from.

He's right. I get a little bit of trolling, not too much.

What really bothers me is

when somebody will randomly start saying things about my kids.

I think that gets to you.

You don't really care about what people say about you.

-That's very sad! -But when they attack the kids…

Absolutely! I remember things like when Nysa was a kid,

and they were writing nonsense about her

because there were so many pictures of her as a kid

and all the paps, they would say really mean and horrible things.

Kids are kids! They are just cute kids.

They have bad haircuts sometimes.

They run around in regular clothes

and not designer-fashioned airport looks. So…

But there's no winning with them.

Because even if you do the other thing, like show up prim and proper,

-then you're criticized for that. -For making that much of an effort!

But I remember Nysa got really upset with that.

-Both my kids, in fact. -It's best to move on.

But I still have to ask Janhvi.

She seems to take trolls in her stride.

Actually, she has really worked the trolls.

I think I troll myself a lot also. When we were promoting Maahi,

they had told us that the more animated your reactions are,

the more screen time we will get to promote Maahi.

So, I went to this cricket match and was like… Oh!

On random things, I was just reacting.

-Maybe that's… -Nothing was happening

on the field and I was like "Oh, God!"

All of that was happening and they just put a montage of me

reacting, cutting to the pitch when nothing was happening.

I think it was half-time.

And then I only commented, "50 rupees will have to be deducted for overacting!"

So, I'm okay. See, the thing is that, specifically with me,

Mom and Dad were very… Even though people won't believe this.

Innocent in their perception of what this media, paparazzi,

and social media world would become.

We were giving everyone so much access…

And at that point, mom was still very strict about

not allowing me to become an actress.

She was like, "What's the point?

It's fine for people to see her with body hair, two braids, and a mustache. "

It was just the worst combination of things

specifically for me because my teenage years

coincided with the onset of the social media boom.

All of India suddenly had this microphone

which they can use to spew their judgments on everyone,

and I was just coming to terms with all that was going on.

It was really hard

because a lot of things were happening at the same time,

and there was a lot of judgment and scrutiny.

You know, your mom is iconic,

I mean, we all love her. We love her.

-Karan, and I have our own bandwagon. -Obsessed, she knows.

We stand up on our own podium and scream for your mom.

-Love… -Cheerlead her all the time.

By the way, I just want to tell you, I think I was 19 years old

and shooting for Baazigar… I remember this so clearly.

I was in Film City, and I called up Dad in a panic.

"Dad, Sridevi is here! She's here!

You have to get in your car and come here right now!"

My dad drove all the way to reach there.

"Dad, go, knock on her door. I want to tell her something. "

My dad did so and said, "Sri, come here.

My daughter wants to see you!"

She was like "Mr. Shomu, you've come here!"

I was like, "I just want to tell you, ma'am, I have been standing outside…"

I never even went into her van. She's the only person…

Karan can attest to it-- I have gone to her and I was like,

"You're the only person… I think you're amazing,

I think you're fabulous, and if you ever start an acting school,

I will be your first student. "

You've said this a couple of times.

I love her. That was my recurring statement to her.

-She's my entire childhood. -I love her!

I think somewhere, my protective instinct for Janhvi

comes from my crazy, mad, obsessive love for her mother.

I almost feel like I have also inherited her in my life.

Like I have to, kind of, emotionally protect her.

I believe Mr. Boney used to sing songs to your mother.

Yes. All old Dev Anand songs.

-Post 10:00 p. m. -- -But is he rhythmic?

No. On some days, he would start dancing like Mr. Shammi Kapoor.

Oh, my! Can I get the video, please?

-Yes, he will send it to you. -Yes, please!

-I really want this video. -You might be on his

forward list now, and then, you'd want to block him.

He won't stop sending those.

Mr. Boney is in the pink of his health, touch wood.

He's clearly getting more action than you are!

-I am not able to unhear this. -Yes…

So, I will now be competing with Mr. Boney?

I feel I'm going to have a brain aneurysm.

Okay, listen! He was at Cannes… We were there for Homebound

and suddenly, I saw him on the Croisette

-with this hat. -The hat!

He was in this South of France look.

-I was like… -Printed shirt…

He was just having a little bit of a stroll on the Croisette.

I was like, "Wow, Boney ji, that's amazing!"

Shikhar has taken him to all the beach clubs there.

We took him to Zuma and he told us,

"Don't take me where the old people go,

take me where the youngsters go. "

-See. -So, he has gone to some beach club.

-Where… -He's not going to be interested in you,

-by the way. -I'm too old for him.

Yeah, you're too old for him!

-I wanted to just tell you that. -No, no, I don't think that's true.

I think that if he ever knew there was an in-road… We should tell him!

You're talking about Mr. Boney's look, what about yours?

Your airport looks-- those are such bold looks Karan wears…

-I must say… -Listen, I want to be…

And he doesn't repeat a single bag, darling.

-Never! -See, I have stopped…

I want to tell you…

I am a retail-crazy person, I am a big shopper.

The problem is, I've stopped going to many social parties or events.

So, I don't know where to wear those clothes.

So, now, I have to wear them somewhere.

I know the paps are outside the airport.

Sometimes, when I am feeling really good, I only tell…

I call them because I'm looking really good today.

-I can see that happening. -What would you do

if they stopped covering you at airports and…

-gyms? Would you feel… -I would be happy.

-She might be happy. -Would you feel like the work has reduced?

I really want to be spotted outside the gym.

I am sorry, it takes a lot for me to put my looks together

and then if you're not archiving it for posterity, what's the point?

Save me before I fall asleep due to Karan's sermons.

I never said anything. How much you've been talking…

-I haven't said anything. -Yeah, please, I can't take it anymore.

We have to play a game.

It's called "This side, that side".

-You've to take a stance… -I chose my side a long time ago.

-Yes, which we all know. -It's called

"This side, that side", and you need to take a stand.

Why are you holding my hand? Don't be…

-You will be like… -Oh!

-Has she… -Oh my God!

Look at this, it's turned red!

-What have you done? -It was on the other finger.

-No, it's this finger. -Okay, one minute, where is this game?

I feel like I am in high school.

-What's this game? -"This side, that side".

-Where do we have to go? -You see those lights.

-Yes. -Green for yes, red for no.

-Okay? We'll give you a prompt. -Okay.

If you agree, you go on this side.

If you disagree, you go on that side. And you have to defend your decisions.

-Let's go! -Okay.

-Where do we stand first? -In the center. Come.

Come here.

It's okay to stalk your ex's new partner for "research".

-What! -No, I mean… Yes, I would stalk.

-I would stalk. -Yes, exactly.

-It's perfectly reasonable to stalk. -But for what?

-For research purposes. -What research? He's your ex!

-I'd rather research my new partner. -My future…

-Yes. See! Exactly. -What will I get researching, my ex?

-I'd like to know… -Losers!

That they should know what they lost out on

-and now, who they're suffering with. -L for Loser.

-No! -Why?

-Absolutely not! -It's your ex!

-Why do you care? You shouldn't care. -I am sorry,

-but if you ever meet them in the future… -I'm stalking your ex also.

Yes, that's true.

-You can stalk everyone's exes. -I like to stalk everyone.

-Period! -Done.

Okay.

You don't need to be in love to get married.

-Compatibility is enough. -No!

Of course, you need to be in love.

-I don't agree. -I think so.

I mean, I am not standing

in either because I am not married and I have never looked at marriage…

-Nor has she! -But your movies

-are too romantic. -You have to pick a side, Karan.

-I don't think love is a big criterion. -What!

Karan, I feel the nation is going to collapse

-if you go onto that side. -Yes.

I am also a practicalist. Eventually, you've got to see

other factors like how big the house is,

how much money there is in the bank…

-I agree. -You don't want to marry somebody

-who gives you nothing. What rubbish! -You need to be in love!

-Love can also be bought. -But what is "in love"?

In fact, love is the first thing that ceases to exist

once you get married if you don't have enough compatibility.

Okay, so I have a theory. I do believe

that love is a friendship. And I think you have to be…

-Oh, my God! -She just pinched me!

God! We will all have to be at the ER after this.

I believe if you're somebody's friend

that's the beginning of a relationship.

That's the first thing…

We win! Next one! Next, next, next!

-Okay. -You love your children,

-your dog, and plants. -Emotional cheating

is worse than physical cheating.

-Yes -Yes!

-Worse! -Go away!

-Say, say! Now what? -I mean…

You are one against three! Say fast!

-I just… -She's young!

-She hasn't seen everything we've seen. -Are you going there or standing here?

Both of them are bad!

-How can one be worse than the other? -No, it's cheating…

I believe physical infidelity

-is not a deal-breaker. -One night stands, you know!

-No way! -You are free to go.

-I don't accept it. -I don't think it's a deal breaker.

-You're young! -No, it's a deal breaker.

-I don't think it's a deal breaker. -No, the deal is broken.

No! Sometimes, you need a little bit of warmth.

It shouldn't be the case.

-Use a blanket instead! -We are in our fifties.

She's in her twenties. She will get into this circle soon.

-Okay, come on. -She'll come here soon.

I already know the answer to this.

If you don't take a picture, the outfit was wasted.

-Yes… -I am fine with it.

-My friend and I agree. -Come on!

My PJs look fab! It's not a waste of an outfit.

If it's not with the Gram, I give a damn!

-Oh! -Darling, that's because of the clothes

-we wear, see the other side. -Oh! How cheap!

Excuse me, can you stand here? Kajol, you remain there.

-Janhvi, come. -No, no way!

-You come here. -Shut up! You can't enter this.

-You are in the wrong circle. -No, sorry!

-The action, I tell you. -I just felt she needed company.

-Shut up! -You very well know

-you need to be in this circle. -Come on!

-You stand alone there. -Yes.

Janhvi is a liar! She was always supposed to be in this circle.

Just shut up! You two have stolen her right now.

I believe you completely. And many of your outfits

-should never be promoted. -I agree!

Okay, next!

Morning people are the most annoying kind of people.

-Yes… -No…

-Manish Malhotra. -Oh, my God!

-I just can't handle this. -Manish Malhotra

-is the most… He is annoying! -He's a morning person.

-At 5:00 a. m. -It's terrible!

-She wakes up at 5:00 a. m. -It's better in the morning, darling.

You have the time to do everything!

-I don't like waking up in the morning. -Love, skincare…

-Look at us. -Listen, skincare, love, all that happens

after 8:00 a. m. also. You don't have to wake up

-at 5:00 a. m. to look good. -You have so many hours in the day.

I am nocturnal, I am a late-sleeper

and an early riser, not so early though.

As long as you're a riser, we're happy.

Come on! Okay. Next!

Something deeper and trickier.

-Feelings! Come on. -Let's do it.

-Yes. -That was fun!

Okay, so we've all heard these ridiculous lines like,

"I had a mosquito bite on my face and that's why

my face changed, " and all that!

-Has yours? -No, darling.

And I don't have a mosquito bite either.

So, Janhvi, coming to you.

I think you have looked at that sentiment

and changed it around for yourself.

What made you be so open to it?

-Talking about, you know… -I don't necessarily

believe in gate-keeping. I was one of those young girls

that was very impressionable with the onset of social media

and seeing everyone being judged and looked at in a certain way.

I don't ever want to perpetuate, among young girls,

this idea of perfection. I'm a big believer

in you do you, do whatever makes you happy.

I just wish these beauty standards were just rid of judgment.

I think that's one thing that we deal with a lot.

In fact, I would be very happy to be completely open about things.

I saw this video the other day

where some self-proclaimed doctors say,

"Let's do a review of everything that this person has done

-to their face…" -Even I saw that.

-And they've mentioned… -They said something about me.

My picture came out. They said I've done two things

that I've never even heard of.

Some fat… Some buffalo-plasty.

I don't know what!

I was like, I have been very intelligent, conservative,

and informed about what I've done.

Of course, I've had the guidance of my mother

and everything… I'd like to share that.

Also, as a cautionary tale,

because if a young girl sees a video like this and decides to go

for the buffalo-plasty, or whatever it's called.

-I'm definitely saying it wrong. -Absolutely!

You have these weird people turning around and saying

you have done these surgeries.

They've got a whole site on what Nysa and I have done.

To say that we have done about 25 different…

-What are these things? -Imagine, if a girl does it,

taking inspiration from it, and something goes wrong!

-It would be the worst thing. -Yes!

-I think… -I think transparency is important.

You've also been transparent about body dysmorphia

and how you felt,

and a lot of people actually opened up to you.

You went from the pineapple pizza

-to a mozzarella pizza. -Yes.

-What does that mean? -He became more likable!

I feel that if you're not true in an interview, it is worth nothing.

So, I've always been open about my combating a mental health issue,

my body dysmorphia,

my own insecurities, vulnerabilities. And yes, I did…

I have grown up with body dysmorphia,

I am very uncomfortable in my own skin,

and till now, it bothers me

and I have gotten a little better, but

-I am very self-conscious! -Not with this skinny body. Now that

-you're flinging around everywhere. -It doesn't matter

what you may be physically. In your head,

you're never going to change what's going on in that space.

Even though we say that, we're both round in our heads.

"Tweedledee, Tweedledum. " We keep saying.

I know I go through these thoughts and emotions

and there's nothing I can do about it.

I am working on it, I am in therapy.

And I'm trying to help myself, but it's tough.

-It's a whole journey! -Can I say…

For these comments, I feel like

people say so much as if their intention is to

take something away from you, hurling accusations,

and criticizing you if you look good

-or if you put yourself out there. -Yes.

I just want to say that saying someone has gone under the knife,

it doesn't take the power away from them.

I am not a better person because I have done something

or because I haven't done something. I know that the value I bring

is beyond how I look, and I look banging!

-So, it's fine. -Yeah!

-You do, babe! That you do. -Yes.

Especially in our business, I look at us

like it is a house. If you fix all the cracks

and give it one coat of paint,

then you can charge more rent. At least that's how I look at myself.

Even if you don't do anything, more power to you.

-Live and let live. -I feel like…

If it gives you joy and happiness…

When I lost so much weight, no matter that the world was saying

I was, in the middle of the night, going into my closet

and changing into clothes and staring at myself

in the mirror and feeling happy that I could fit into clothes

that I never imagined I could fit into. It was giving me joy.

If this gave me joy.

No matter what anybody says, I'm going to do what I want to do.

It's no one's problem but my own.

Even your mother was the diva.

No one could understand how she had lost so much weight.

-Yes. -She did the juice diet.

I did it too!

-You did it too! -Yes.

Till yesterday, Twinkle was telling me, "We have to shoot tomorrow.

-Don't add the salt, babe. " -I'm being a good friend.

"We have to shoot tomorrow. " I said I can't do it.

Pooja Bhatt used to give me these diet plans.

We bonded over diet plans.

We would exchange these plans. I have done every diet on planet Earth!

Me too. But, now, I've decided not to starve anymore.

No, I can't either. I never could.

-It was my problem. -You never did.

-I did. -I really can't.

Even today, I can't starve.

Then I thought to myself, it is the perimenopause age--

What should I do? The weight was not shifting,

should I inject myself like everybody else…

Yes, menopause is a real thing.

-I understand. Even I am going through it. -I said, "What should I do?"

-I started lifting weights. -Karan?

-You have menopause? -Weight training is the best thing…

If you break up the word

-into two, that has happened. -I mean, yes.

-That was, Karan… -For you!

-Pause! -It's been paused.

I am going through the same. I want the hot flushes, though.

-Those are not coming. -She's had hot flushes.

-I am waiting for a hot flush. -She was feeling hot.

I was fanning her vigorously. But, what do you do?

-You must get used to it. -Yes. What do you do?

Janhvi, coming back to you.

-Your family is multi-talented. -Yes.

Your mother was a great actress…

-Your father has been… -He's been doing some

-lovely videos. -Yes, lovely videos.

Someone told me he's going to be a villain

-in a Telugu film. -No!

-Is he playing that role? -I heard this rumor.

No, he's not. He's just shaved his head

because of his transplant.

-Oh, okay! -But…

-Can I finish my question… -Yes. Sorry.

You have a talent too, which is mimicry.

I believe you can mimic people and creatures,

-amphibians… -Yes.

-Please tell us about it. -Amphibians!

So, my latest thing is that I mimic

how people pose now. A little bit.

-Please show us. -Should I do

-the Karan airport look? -Yes. Please!

I need your glasses, Karan.

Just imagine the giant Birkin, okay?

Oh!

Please turn!

-Give the look! -Bang on!

She's really good at this!

Then there is Anil chachu's…

Dad at the airport… Dad has fat cheeks.

He did have them.

So he thinks if he opens his mouth

and acts surprised, the cheeks will vanish.

So, he sports this look.

But you can also imitate your dog.

-Yes, I can do a good puppy. -Okay.

-Please show us. -First! Which dog is it?

-As in, the breed. -I have 18 of them.

He came home for dinner that day…

-No one was… -I mean, it was…

I thought Janhvi was tripping.

-That dinner was… -She's had a wrap-up party

for a film that I am producing, and Shashank is directing

with Varun, and Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra are in the film.

It's called Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.

And she decided to-- I thought it was a sweet

get-together, wrap dinner. I arrived, and there is…

an overdecorated table with menus with the movie's posters,

and each one has a T-shirt with a designation.

I said, "What's wrong with you?"

I made a big cut-out of all of us standing.

He's criticizing you after you put in all the effort.

He was in a state of shock.

I have… She's never hosted anything ever,

and suddenly, she does this curated dinner…

-So, I was taken aback. -I had gotten all my dogs out.

They started coming in, one after another.

-Felt like, we're in a… -A dog show.

-We were in a vet's office. -Vet's office!

There were dogs of every shape, from Shikhar's horse's size

to the Maltipoo. There was the entire range!

She's like a…

It's not normal, what's going on in that house.

-I don't like stepping out. -Can you please

-do the puppy mimicry! -Sorry. Okay!

It's pretty accurate!

That's what I sound like, at times.

-Yeah, I can do a dog. -Okay.

When you do this, do the dogs respond?

Yes, they get scared. When I bark…

Shikhar has taught me this. When the dog doesn't listen…

He is multi-talented. He rides a horse, he barks.

Since we have come back to him and love,

-we want to ask you about love… -Yes.

What do you think about love in today's times?

-Back in our day… -This day and age.

Back in our day,

if you had a boyfriend, you could hide him in a closet,

and this was when we didn't know what it all meant.

But today, everything is in the open.

Do you find it terrifying or liberating?

I have a theory about this.

I think there's a certain perception that this Gen Z and Gen Alpha

are a Tinder-swiping generation,

they're frivolous, multiple partners and choices,

dating apps, and so on.

But I actually think to the contrary,

I think this generation

is exceptionally angsty and seeks an intense love story.

But I think that's a result of romance

becoming so transactional because of all of these apps.

-Yes. -Everything is at

-your fingertips. -You want that intense…

you're craving intense love.

And I feel, contrary to how we think,

those belonging to the bygone generations

think Gen Z is frivolous. It's not true.

They're way more deeply connected to the idea of love

-than any of us were or are. -Yes.

I think one good thing is that it's a very equal kind of love.

In our time, it was always like, you know,

even if it was sex, it was the man getting something

and we're giving something up.

But I see that in this generation,

it's completely equal.

The women want to have sex as much as the men.

Nobody is taking something away, something precious.

I think that's really cool. I see it among all the young people.

They're a lot more sorted than we were.

For sure. I think this has happened

more in the recent past.

I remember the equations I was in before this.

I find it hard to vocalize whether I am okay with something or not.

Or that I can't show up because I have other priorities.

As a woman, I believe my role

is to be the sacrificial, devoted being,

and I can't really voice what I need and want and the boundaries I want to set.

Over the past couple of years, I have realized

that it's completely valid.

And I can say and do what I want

without being any less of a woman in a relationship.

In today's day and age,

what do you think women have to face

and what do you think their general problems are?

Because you are a young woman

and we had different problems.

Honestly, I understand I am coming from a place of privilege

even in my work environment,

but I really think for me it's been about navigating egos, male egos.

If I have an opinion…

Recently, I have been in rooms where I can say what I want, the way I want to say it.

Without feeling like I need to tiptoe around.

But I have been in situations

where I've had to placate someone, pretend to be dumb.

You need to pick your battles

and maneuver how to put your point across

without rubbing anyone the wrong way.

That was my problem when I was young.

I just didn't understand how to diplomatically

manage everybody's egos, and would just say what I wanted

-and fight with everyone. -Yes.

I remember one actress telling me, "What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you fighting with him?

Just smile and pretend you don't understand what he's saying. "

Yes. I am still picking my battles.

"Okay, this doesn't really make sense, but just go with it. "

On the next one, I am going to tell them

what I actually feel. But I need to say ten nice things

and act like I am not capable enough

to perform them in this way, maybe because I think

it's too politically incorrect to perform the scene in this way.

I will just say, "I don't understand.

Can we do this?"

Instead of saying, "This is fucked up, you know!"

You pick your battles, and sometimes, you need to turn a blind eye.

It's a lot, but it's fine. Everyone has to go through it.

It's better now. The kind of stuff you guys had to deal with.

I've heard mom's stories.

Actually, there's a line in The Great Gatsby

where Daisy says about her daughter,

"I hope she's beautiful and a fool, "

because that's the best thing a girl can be in this world.

It's kind of tragic, but it's getting better.

It's a secret weapon, it shouldn't be for us

to play dumb and get away.

I wish I were that smart to play dumb.

Never happened.

And now, perhaps, we don't have to.

Things are getting better, for sure.

-Pick your battles. -Things have to. I…

I have never believed in hiding

my intelligence or my opinion behind anything.

Now is the time to come out. We have learned as adults

to say it better, to phrase it better.

So we are not as…

-Are you trying to say you have become… -Arrogant.

-diplomatic after you've gotten older? -Somewhat!

-Somewhat. -We have become better.

I know the evolution for both of you.

I've seen it with my own eyes

I have seen you from your childhood days

and right up to today, when I see you as a woman.

I see a huge change. You have seen me evolve,

that's part of life.

But those who don't evolve

-are the ones who dissolve. -Yes.

Eventually, you must…

Evolution is a very successful part of our personalities.

We have to be happy that we have evolved,

and we've reached where we are today.

Absolutely!

Janhvi, I've heard that you actually write beautifully.

-You've written a poem for your mom. -Yes.

I did, many years ago. I would write a lot more.

I haven't, for a while.

The one you're referring to is the only one I've ever read out

in a public space.

I wrote this about seven years ago.

"I was a child, but was stripped of the right.

Devoid of the love and warmth.

I have lost my voice, but I speak in my mother's.

That's how I hold her close. "

That's beautiful!

-Was the Hindi correct? It was, right? -Yes, nice!

-It's beautiful! -Why am I clapping for myself?

Why not? You should clap for yourself, too!

-How lovely! -That was lovely!

-You also have a poem, apparently? -Apparently?

When I was in a one-sided love affair,

I wrote it. It is in Ae Dil Hain Mushkil,

and it's about anyone with a broken heart.

So, I hope I say it right…

"Love devoid of its essence.

When sorrow is lonely.

When tears aren't followed by smiles.

When words have no meaning.

When I become a body without a soul.

Every morning awaits the night.

When time passes by.

I think of the heartless being.

Why do I treat the path

that leads to nowhere?

My heart beats just for the sake of it.

Such is the pain of love. "

-Wow! Lovely! -Thank you so much!

-That's some depth. -Yes.

You only let the world see your frivolous side.

It's okay! Let them see what they want.

Okay! Let's do what celebrities do all the time.

Just fish for compliments, but this time

it is a reality check.

Everything, from angelic to drama queen

-is up for grabs. -We all get a limited time period

to catch as many fish as we can.

You can defend your verdict or fight it.

-So, may the most shameless… -Or the most self-aware…

-Win! -Win!

It's time to get into Oppo Game on!

-Absolutely! -Let's go!

Rise and shine, it's betrayal time.

-Got it! -What!

It's a timer.

On your mark, get set, go!

Oh, God! Sorry!

-Oh! -This isn't dead!

-Oh! -Stupid fish!

-I missed it! -Stop it!

-Stop it! It's really… -Oh! No!

-Karan, you broke the thing! -My magnet is stuck.

What have you done, Karan?

I don't care. Deal with your own dilemmas.

You're cheating, Twinkle!

Nobody said we couldn't pick it up either.

-Okay, take this. -But you've lost!

-One fish! -Whose rod is that?

-Oh, God! -I don't have a rod.

-How many did you get? -I got four.

-Let me first talk about… -Oh! No.

Not you, let Janhvi start.

The first one is TMI King or Queen.

Yes, it's true.

-Really? -You're not a TMI Queen

-at all! -Not here.

I feel, you ask me one thing, say one nice thing to me

and I will pour my heart out.

She did tell us about Shikhar and the horse.

-See. -Alright, let her be.

-Move on. -You get one fish.

-Yes. -Karan, you next.

Shares memes instead of feelings.

-Actually, no. -You share feelings.

-I don't share memes at all! -You don't.

-I don't deserve this fish. -No. Throw it.

-Back to the pond. -Drama Queen or King.

-Yes, you are. -Yes, you are.

-No, I am not. -Yes, you are.

-I am a very sober little thing. -The finger reaction…

-You are! -Okay. I am dramatic!

-Great! -Foot-in-mouth syndrome.

-Yes. -For sure!

-Yes. -Right.

I am my own worst enemy.

-No. -No, I don't think so.

-Drop that! -Outspoken.

-Yes, kind of. -No, you are not!

-Not at all! -You're measured.

-No way you are. -Thanks, guys!

I have been the worst fisherman ever.

-Wait up. -Yes, wait.

-Menace to society. -No, you are not…

-Some would believe you are. -Dennis the Menace…

-Throw it. -Yes.

-Naughty but looks innocent. -Spot on! Yes!

-Yes… -You get one fish!

This fish, you should sit with.

-People-pleaser. -You are not one.

-Please! -Throw this fish!

-Throw it away! -I am standing. Wait…

I will tell you. Sly but sweet. She is not.

-My God! -Rock solid friend.

-Yes. -She is.

-Looks could kill. -Yes. I agree.

-Blunt! -Yes.

Okay, done. Now, let's go here.

-Okay. -There's only one fish left!

-Fashion disaster. -Let go!

-What was it? -Fashion disaster!

You are not! Come on!

You are neither of them!

Please do not miss, this one is ready…

-I love. -She wants to pose

-as a fisherwoman. -In a Koliwada.

She's ready to walk.

-Okay. I've lost this game. -I too have!

-I am a big zero. -Janhvi, you have won this game

and the Kalyan hamper.

Thank you so much!

-Well done! -Well done!

-Okay, girls, thank you so much! -Thank you!

-We love you! -Thank you. All the best!

-Bye, see you! -You spoke so well.

-I love you! -Kajol, break a leg

-the show will do very well. -Shut up!

-Okay, come on, Janhvi. -It's not working.

She did break a finger.

Don't be jealous! It's showing now.

Two Much!

-It was too much! -These girls are too much.

They are too much of too many things.

They have traumatized Janhvi and me.

-Two Much is… -Too much!

No one was harmed during the filming of the show.

-Thank God! -Yes, except the fish and me.

You know how many times you've pinched me?

I haven't pinched you that many times.

Please, it's on camera, you can't deny it.

It's not on camera. It was from waist down.

-You are the most… -The most?

-I have nothing to say! -The most loving

and caring person on Earth.

-Oh, yes! -Hey! Stop!

Three decades of all the heroines I have survived.

You have botox'd your tongue, Mr. Diplomatic.

Sonakshi loves beating up boys.

What else do I have in life, right?

Beating men left, right, and center.

India has changed. Nobody fears going and buying a condom.

Then why is our population so much?

I don't know if I am judged less today or if I care less today.

Minimalism called, Manish hung up.

And ran away!

Who the hell are you, loser?
