So, babe, do you think we'll have friends after this?

I don't know about friends, but we'll have each other.

I don't think the world was ready for us, together.

Forget the world. Do you think our next guests are ready?

Of course…

not!

She's so tall that the first time I was on the red carpet with her,

I fit under her armpit, in heels.

Our next guest definitely doesn't fit under anyone's armpit.

He's an actor whose energy stays sky-high,

though he's usually quiet, well, hopefully, not today.

I'm really nervous.

That's apparent!

I can't utter a word. How will I manage there?

-Please welcome… -Vicky Kaushal

and Kriti Sanon!

Hello!

Hello!

-Namaste and all? -So, you're going to say namaste to us

and walk arms held with young girls?

-Well, I touch the feet of young girls. -Of course!

-If you touch their feet, you'll get hit. -Go on, touch the feet.

-I know, right? -Yep!

Call us "mama" as well.

-That would be better. -Is it?

Should we put him in the middle?

May I sit?

So, I believe that backstage, you were saying that you're very nervous,

-and you're very scared. -No. I'm totally confident.

-She's nervous. -No, he was… Excuse me!

But don't worry. Everything will be okay.

You know? We're just going to

eat you alive!

That's why I'm nervous.

I'm terrified of you two.

I am telling you. I'm being honest…

-You're very friendly with our husbands. -This guy…

Yes, very.

-So is that why you're scared of us? -Very, very!

-Because even they're scared of us. -I don't know.

I'm not scared of Ajay sir and Akshay sir.

I feel like family around them.

But that's true.

-They're fighter boys as well. -But why--

-I don't know. Fighter boys… -You all are fighter boys.

and also, we just start talking in Punjabi

-and then it's all smooth sailing. -True. Once people start

-speaking in Punjabi… -Yeah.

It's the Punjabi-people feel.

-We don't believe you. -I've been very nice to you.

I've told you, ever since you've met Katrina, you've become very spiffy.

-So, you asked me what "spiffy" was? -What is spiffy?

-"What is it?" -In our three years of marriage,

I've learned a lot of English, but I haven't gotten to "spiffy" yet.

But I'm going to show off after going back home.

-"Am I looking spiffy or not?" -"Spiffy."

-But even I don't know what it is. -See?

Oh, no…

-Have I made up a word? -No!

-No. I genuinely haven't heard-- -"Spiffy" means you're looking good.

I saw you on…Which movie did I see you in? In Jaisalmer, right?

-Yeah! We met. -In Jaisalmer.

-Housefull, I think we were shooting… -And we had all those big dinners, where

-all the boys were making jokes. -Yeah.

You were a little quiet, a little to yourself.

-That's what I thought. -I usually take time to open up.

I think I've become better.

When I first entered the industry, I used to take…

-Yeah. -So, on our first film,

I think we've hardly spoken.

-She's right. We had not spoken at all-- -I just told him, "It took me

two films to break the ice with her."

-Oh, my God! -Yeah.

-She… You don't need to break the ice. -Yeah.

She breaks you. Forget anything else.

But I think now, I've gotten better.

No! We had a good time during the shoot of the film we shot.

-Yeah, yeah. -We had a good time!

And, Kriti, I remember that my first impression of you

was on the sets of Dilwale.

I remember being like…

Of course, I couldn't see without my specs.

I remember I was standing over there, in the heat in Hyderabad.

And I was watching… And I was like, "Who's that?"

I knew most of the people by weight and body language.

And I was like, "Who's that tall, well-built person walking by"?

"Well-built?"

Okay, fine. Let's just say tall!

I wondered who was walking by. That's what my first impression of you was.

-But-- -She's being very polite right now.

What she said was that she could fit under your armpit.

I don't know whether it's a good thing

-or a bad thing. -One second.

-There is a photo of us-- -There is a photograph of us!

-We stood together at a promotion. -At a promotion-- No…

And then, I don't know why, but you bent even more.

And that photo has her here. I feel like a mother there.

Okay, now, let's not bore them.

Please jump into the questions.

What do you want to ask Kriti? You've made a long list.

Actors becoming entrepreneurs

is a phenomenon

of your generation.

Ranveer has SuperYou.

Ranbir, Alia, and even you, Kriti.

All of you have launched your own brands apart from acting.

All of us, on the other hand, invested very differently back then.

So, what do you think has brought about this shift?

-Do you also have a brand? -And--

-No. I mean, I endorse brands, but I've… -You don't need to

Katrina is the biggest brand.

-She is the best! -She has a brand.

-She has a brand. I'm telling you… -Yeah. Absolutely.

-Amazing. -Katrina's business mind is just…

I'm a big fan.

But I… For the time being, I don't feel like I have that knack

and also, I really enjoy just concentrating on this part.

But I think you can really elaborate on that because--

I mean, it's not like I thought of doing something different,

but yeah, there has been a shift.

There has even been a shift in not only endorsing something but also

putting a little bit more of you in whatever you're endorsing.

So, for me, I was very passionate about skincare.

So, it, kind of… It happened during COVID.

As I turned 30, I was like, "Oh, my God! I need to take care of my skin."

-And I really-- -"I need skincare!"

Yeah. And I got into everything.

And I feel like I enjoy doing other things.

I mean, I always used to feel that

as kids, when we write what we want to become when we grow up,

why is it supposed to be just one thing, you know?

-Why can't you do more number of things-- -So you just wrote "rich".

No. Actually, I went through this phase of

wanting to become a teacher because of my mother and all that.

Then, went for engineering, then went for acting.

-So, yeah… -You have worked with Kajol,

and then you became a producer and you employed her.

-You had to tell her what her job was-- -Oh, God!

-Please don't say this. -What surprised you about your employee?

What!

-What! What rubbish! -She's going to kill me.

Yeah, right! Go on, speak!

I said I broke the ice in that film.

-Finally, we spoke. -She did.

Both of us used the pickaxe.

-On each other. -"On each other."

No, we didn't use the pickaxe on each other.

Thankfully, I wasn't handling the money bit of it.

-So, what surprised you about her? -I was not even--

I feel that

she is still very excited and involved, even after doing so many films,

in every scene.

-We, kind of, prep the way we do-- -Veteran.

-Thespian. -So, ma'am, what surprised you about her?

Well, to be very honest, her height, again.

-See? Now, that's an answer. -We'll come back to it--

That's an answer!

-Surprised you? -I will be surprised.

You really didn't look at me in the first film, did you?

Honestly, it was more the working angle of it.

We really had to adjust

when we were sitting and doing scenes together.

-Sitting was no adjustment. -If we had to do a scene where

we were standing together, I had two sets of heels.

One pair was my regular heels,

and the other pair, five-and-a-half-inch heels!

My "Kriti heels".

And we'd be like, "Get the Kriti heels".

"Oh, that's a close-up shot? We need Kriti heels for that."

If there was a shot of us walking together,

I had to be wearing Kriti heels to be walking with her!

-So, yeah, that did surprise me! -In the hills!

We've worked with so many short heroes.

Didn't they make a pit and make you stand in the pit?

-No, but we always had… -What!

to be without our heels--

-And wear flats. -Yeah! They're short, right?

We're standing there, so they'd dig a hole in it.

So, we stand in the hole so we--

-I never stood in any hole. -Oh, my God! Are you serious?

I stood in a hole!

No, I never stood in a hole,

but sometimes, there was a platform built next to me…

See? I told you…

-I told you! -Wow.

They didn't agree to a platform?

You also have to take their ego into account…

You can't tower over them.

So, stand in a hole. It's okay. What difference does it make?

We just get paid for it anyway.

Thankfully, it doesn't happen now.

And funnily, I haven't worked with too many tall heroes.

I don't know why.

-We haven't worked together. -We haven't worked together.

I'm not going to ask who the short ones are.

So, what do your families think about this particular… you know…

What do they have to say today?

I mean, at that point of time, I'm sure you had your family saying,

"Oh! This is not working out." Or whatever.

What do they have to say today now that you're a success?

What I keep hearing from Mom and Dad is that

they're in a constant sense of immense gratitude

because they always say that… And the most random, smallest things…

It probably has me very used to it,

but they will have a moment and say,

"Never had we imagined that such a thing would happen."

You know? Just that much, they will say…

"We used to live in a village.

Things were so different back then. We never thought…"

For example,

now, where I'm living is just on Juhu Beach, we face Juhu Beach.

My dad would sit in the balcony and say, "You know?

That's where I used to train as a fighter."

Yeah. On Juhu Beach, yeah.

And I would look at these buildings, and I'd go like,

-"I don't know how people live here." -Wow.

"What do they feel when there is this vast sea in front of them

and they see this sunset?

And I come here to grind and struggle.

And now, I'm sitting in the balcony and I'm seeing that."

And he'd be like, "I don't know how this happens, but…"

So, then… It's just that those kinds of moments are

-more often now. Yeah. -They're precious.

They're very precious. And they kind of feel that

in a very surreal sense that you know…

And they said a very beautiful thing to me, "You know?

Always remember that no matter how justified you feel,

God has not given you the right to feel egoistic now.

-That right has been taken away from you." -Wow.

"Don't ever be arrogant about anything, no matter where you are

because that thing has been taken away.

Keep in mind what our journey has been as a family.

Where we started off,

where you were born,

where you are now…

And constantly, God is telling you that the universe loves you

with the kind of opportunities you're getting

and the kind of love you're getting."

-Be grateful for it! -"Anytime you feel that it's me,

just say to yourself that you're wrong. Just stop.

Because that right, God has taken from you."

You were still a little bit from the business. You were a complete outsider.

When you got into the industry,

was there anything that surprised you?

Were there any myths that you had,

or was that a reality?

I mean, honestly,

I got a very warm welcome with my first film.

Of course, the struggle to get the film,

not being from the film family, not understanding

if that was a good debut or not, if that was a good film or not…

You know? That. Not having anyone to kind of lean on.

That was something that I…

I mean, I wasn't sure if I was gonna get a first break, ever, or not.

But today, I feel like I was meant to be here because

the journey that I've taken, the route that it's come from,

whether it was engineering or whatever,

all the films that have happened, not happened in life,

I think have brought me here

and I'm very, very grateful for it.

But coming to what we were just discussing, my mom

and Dad are obviously very proud and very grateful, and they

sometimes feel like it's all surreal.

But there are also times when my mother is like,

"The more successful you get, the richer you get,

the more complicated and stressful life becomes."

So, she, sometimes, is like, "You know? A simple life is better."

She still says that.

And it's so funny because when I was trying to buy a house,

when I was looking for a house,

she was laughing, and she was like,

"When we were in Patparganj in Delhi, and we had to buy a house,

we didn't have enough money to buy a house

and even now, you don't have enough money to buy the house you want."

So, she was like, "How does it even matter, eventually?"

I feel that, for them, coming from Patparganj in Delhi

and adjusting to everything that's happened…

It's a completely different life.

But that's what I'm trying to ask you. When you have a different life…

Like I said, when… Okay, I'll give you a small story.

When I went to a set,

I was the baby of the set, obviously. I was 16.

So, I remember somebody calling out, "Go get baby's chopped head."

And I was like, "Baby!

Go get baby's chopped head!" I was horrified.

And it had happened on my fifth or sixth day of shooting.

I was like, "What does that mean?" Obviously, it was later explained to me

that it was a light that was called "baby light".

That had to be brought over there.

So, I'm sure, when you guys went to the set for the first time…

Not you. But…

-Why not him? -But it happened with me as well.

-Yeah! Something like that. -So I was such a…

Well, I still am a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan.

So, his first film had come out, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai had come out

and everybody, every kid in the country, was mad about him.

And I got to know that my dad was working with him!

Oh!

Till then, I had never asked him to get me to meet someone

or take me somewhere. I didn't even know what a film set was.

I was in the tenth grade, I still remember.

And I was like, "Can I get to meet him?"

And he played a trick on me, I don't know for what reason.

And he was like, "He only meets the kids who can do the 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' step."

-Who can? -Dance--

Who can do the "Ek Pal Ka Jeena" dance step.

And I rehearsed it for three days,

the "Ek Pal Ka Jeena" step… I'd meet Hrithik sir,

he'd ask me to do the step, I'd do it, and he'd fall in love with me.

But that day, when I went to the set,

he was very sweet. We met, clicked pictures… All of that happened.

Two things happened. That day, I understood

that a three-hour movie doesn't get made in three hours.

-I'm still explaining this-- -I noticed, the entire day

they are doing the same thing over and over again!

And at one point, I was just so bored!

I was like, "What the heck is this? I have to go home!"

-Yeah… -And the second one… I still remember…

There was a scene of Johny Lever sir, and there was a funny gag.

And he makes everybody laugh, and he was genuinely funny.

And every time he would do it, I was right next to him,

-like a visitor, a kid on set. -Yeah…

-And you didn't laugh? -I would start laughing!

I wasn't bothered about the "roll sound" command,

the camera being on or a scene being shot. I was rolling on the floor, laughing!

"Whose kid is this?"

-They kicked you off the set! -And then

my dad came to me. He said, "Son, you're going to embarrass me. Come…

Come over here… Go sit over there."

And I sat there, and I saw

that Johny Lever sir, is cracking the same joke

-again and again and again! -Again.

Then I thought, "It takes really long for a movie to be made!

It's such a boring task. I don't want to come here ever again!"

-Little did I know that… Yeah. -You would be…

-But was Hrithik your crush as well? -Yeah.

The only person whose posters I've had in my room

was Hrithik Roshan.

-Yeah… -And when Heropanti released, I remember

that Tiger had kept a screening especially for him

and I didn't know about it.

And I was sleeping. And at 02:00 a.m., my phone buzzed

and there was an unknown number.

And I went on Truecaller, and it said "Hrithik Roshan".

And it took me some time to understand that he was calling me.

And then I was like, "It's 02:00 a.m. Maybe I should not call back."

So, I waited till morning, and then I called him back.

And then you finally called.

He had seen the film! I was like, "Oh, my God!" I was like…

Well, you should've come to stay with me because he was my neighbor and

maybe a couple of times a week, I would see him

running without a shirt, up and down the lawn.

So, you should've come over.

-I would've offered some coffee. -That was definitely a lovely house

-to live in then. -Poor Hrithik was in the past.

Who's your current crush?

-"Current crush"? -Yep.

-Nobody. -Yeah?

This is the best phase, I'm telling you.

Just get married. Then go attend an interview.

There's no stress about answering any question.

-Wait. We will come to you as well. -What?

-Answer. -Okay. Let me just say that whoever it is,

is not from the industry. So, that's great.

This is like--

Is this supposed to be an official announcement

-that there is-- -Not at all.

-Of course, it was. It sounded like it-- -Whoever it is,

-is not from the industry. -He's not from the industry.

-Not from the country as well-- -Are we playing coffee potting?

-Coffee what? -What is this?

-What is "coffee potting"? -"Coffee potting" is a game,

you know, where you ask questions to guess the identity of the person.

I already know his name, but I can't say it because she's not saying it.

-And now, on to you! -Yes.

-Oh, God… -There are many questions.

I will sit like that now.

-What-- -Basically, the whole internet calls you

"Bollywood's Green Flag Man".

-Oh, dear… -What is it like to be a "Green Flag Man"

in the "Bad Boys' Club"?

I've received excellent training.

Now, I want to progress from a "Green flag"

to a "Green Forest" and then, a "Green Planet".

I'll become a "Green Universe" out of the blue.

I'm not going to stop.

-I'll become green, greener, greenest. -He's giving ridiculous answers.

We'll come straight to the point. How did you meet Katrina Kaif?

That's all we care about.

The first time I met her was

backstage at an award show that I was hosting.

And she was there as a guest and…

-Where you did "Chikni Chameli" with her. -Was… I think that one, yeah.

-So, I still remember that backstage-- -It didn't seem on the stage

-that you two had met for the first time. -No. It was the very first time, onstage.

In fact, I met her the first time onstage and then after going backstage…

I still remember… I had to make an entry, she had to make an entry,

and there was Sunil Grover along with me. The three of us were standing.

And they had shot Bharat together. So, they were pally and friends.

And I was there. And he introduced me to her.

First five minutes of me meeting Katrina…

She was training me on how to host the show.

What…

And we were going on stage just to say,

"Good night, everyone. Thank you for coming."

I had hosted the entire show, it was all done.

Done. First time… "Hi, I'm Katrina." "Hi, I'm Vicky."

"You know what? You shouldn't care about the audience.

You should always give it to this, that…"

I got a full-blown tutorial about how to host an award show

-right before-- -Which you had already finished.

Which I had already finished. So, that was my first interaction with her.

-Is this the same show-- -She was very impressive

-because look where you are now. -I know, right?

-Yeah. -Is this the same show where you said…

Sorry, I'm trying not to sound like a stalker, but…

-Is this the same show-- -No, that was the second time.

-You already know what I'm going to say? -Yes.

-What? Yes. -The marriage thing? Yes.

-That was the second time, and she-- -Were you dating back then or not?

We weren't.

-And also, that was-- -He said,

"Why don't you marry a nice Vicky Kaushal?"

-So, I had asked her that on stage. -Already?!

The truth is that was a gag onstage, in that show.

"Irrespective of the heroine that shows up,

the first question you need to ask her is that,

"Why don't you marry

-a nice Vicky Kaushal?" -It just happened to be Katrina!

I didn't ask just Katrina that, that night.

I had asked many women that question

but the segment that went viral was that specific segment.

-So, basically, only Katrina said yes. -Because eventually--

So, in front of a live audience, you asked many women this question…

Yeah. So, it became a joke.

So, everybody was very gracious.

-And I was scared-- -It's like Cinderella's slipper.

"What on earth are you all making me say--"

-"They should at least fit someone." -Cinderella's…

-slipper. He was carrying it-- -"I just hope someone says yes."

And all the backstage people were like, "This lady didn't hit him?

Let's make the next lady give it a try.

Even this lady didn't?! Katrina will hit him for sure."

But both of you were big stars.

-She's a superstar. Yeah. -A much bigger star.

Now, what is the dynamic like?

She is the bigger star, still.

-She is-- -She will always be.

She's the Earth and you're the Moon orbiting around her.

-Very well put. -Right?

-Very good. I'm happy-- -Yeah… But I'm a Green Moon.

As long as you don't have fungus. And you're regular green.

-That's all. -Yeah.

So, Kriti, tell me. What do you think are the traits of a "Green Flag Man"?

I think, firstly, honest… Like, a really honest guy.

Also, respectful of all people… in general.

I feel like I've seen you like that. There's something very

warm about you, which I've always felt.

Rooted in Punjabi culture… I think that is the feeling.

And not changing

pre-dating and post-dating. You know?

That means you'll have to date him to figure it out.

People put their best foot forward,

and suddenly, you realize, "Oh! There's more to this person."

So, I think, just that. Just be real.

-All men put their best foot forward. -Yeah.

You should never judge them by the way they're treating you.

You should judge them by the way

-they're treating everyone around you. -Everyone else.

Especially, the people they don't benefit from.

-"From." True. -And if they're treating those people well

then, when you become what we call "old stuff",

-they'll even treat you well. -"Old stuff!" Oh, God!

So, are you still hopelessly

-Or hopefully romantic? -Romantic?

Absolutely. I love romance, I love the idea of being in love.

I also love, love stories, which are rarely being made these days. Yeah.

So, you have this lovely little world in your head and this bubble

-that the "Green Flag Man" exists. -Yeah.

My mother always says, "There's no such thing as love. It's just hormones."

-And I'm like, "Mamma, please!" -I agree.

-I told her-- -Absolutely.

-Scientifically, it is hormones. -I'm tired of this.

Such sweet, diplomatic answers and all, I don't like…

-In this-- -But this was a sweet question.

-We need some spice. -It's time for "This Side, That Side".

Think of it as Truth or Dare, minus the dare.

Green light if you agree, red if you disagree. Understood?

-Time for you all to play a game. -Okay… What do we have to play?

-Yeah, absolutely! -Okay? So, please get up

with your thin bodies and fast metabolism.

We're going to give you a prompt. If you agree--

-I'll come there… -You go to the green box.

-And if you disagree-- -Not yet!

-Yeah. Let us finish. -Not yet.

And if you disagree, you get into the red box.

-Got it. -Let's begin!

"Marriage should have an expiry date and a renewal option."

Yes!

No. I mean, it's marriage, it's not a washing machine.

-Babe… -What an answer!

This is the best answer!

-So, I don't think so. -No! I definitely think so!

What says that you will get married to the right person every time?

-No, but the thing is-- -So, you should have an expiry date

and a renewal option!

And if there's an expiry date, "Hey!

There's an expiry date.

-We don't have to suffer for too long." -We disagree.

We think you're stuck because of the choice you made.

-End of story. -No.

And you can live together. Then you don't have to get married.

You come back here!

The man remains married because he wants to know

if the kids are truly his and not some neighbor's.

That is the reason.

-Come on, next. -I'm just wondering…

She's okay with that option. So, your home must be heaven!

"Money can buy happiness."

-To some extent, yeah… -I mean, yeah.

-Can we stay here? -No!

It's easier to cry in a limousine than in a bullock cart.

-Yeah. -I agree with that

-up till a point-- -Hey, you!

-I'm confused… -Decide already!

-I'm confused… -I agree with that.

Listen, come here! Quick!

-She's bullying me-- -She's thinking, "How much money

-are we talking about"? -Yeah.

-It depends. -Yeah.

A lot of it can.

-It can buy some happiness, but not all. -Explanation,

-from inside the box. -Yes… I'm here…

-Can I be here? -No!

I feel--

We don't allow people to spread their legs on this show.

You need to stand here.

-Okay, next! -There are different kinds of happiness.

So, you're saying money can't buy happiness.

-Money can't buy happiness-- -I feel no.

I feel that no matter how much money you have…

-In fact, sometimes, I feel that money-- -You can still be sad.

-Yeah. -No! Money is an impediment.

Because money, I think, sometimes, inures you to the idea of happiness.

-That's my take. -Those are two

-very nice English words. -You didn't understand, did you? Yeah!

-I have confused you if not convinced you! -But he was

-confused from the beginning. -But then, sometimes,

you can just go on a holiday and forget about it, at least for a moment.

-Okay. So, you agree. -But that doesn't buy you happiness.

-I was with you! -Good!

"Sex is more important than good conversation in a relationship."

-Babe, should I just sit here? -Come on!

You and I go here. Come on.

No… Actually, I think…

This is very confusing. The two of us are planted here…

Like so…

-At this stage in my life, I want this! -And they're standing in the middle!

What about that?

Babe!

-What are you all doing? -We can always converse later.

"Best friends shouldn't date each other's exes."

-"Each other's exes…" -Yes!

I know you don't think so

but I think my friends are more important to me than any man.

-You can get a man anywhere. -No, but…

-If it's a-- -If that matters that much…

-I feel-- -Best friends!

I feel if it's still affecting

-the ex then it's not really an ex-- -I mean, we have an ex in common

-but we can't say… -Shut up, I beg you.

Shut the heck up.

Oh, my God…

"Your partner should know your passwords."

-Yeah, I agree. I agree. -No, definitely not.

Definitely not.

I don't think it should be compulsory

-for them to know. -Yes.

-But why not? It's shady if you don't. -I totally agree.

If they want to know, you should tell them.

-Yes. -But it shouldn't be a compulsory thing

-that they should know it. -No, I think my partner

-should know my passwords. -Yeah.

-But he shouldn't know-- -There's nothing to hide.

Yeah, but he shouldn't know I have a burner phone.

No, I feel it shouldn't be a rule.

-Hey, listen! -We shouldn't hide anything.

-We mustn't expect honesty from them. -Does your partner know?

Yeah, everything.

We're going back.

We are straightforward people. What to do?

-It was totally honest. -I mean, let's become energetic

before we faint. Come on.

So, now, we're coming to our main

-topic of the day. -Okay.

Society still treats marriage like a checkpoint for women.

A man marries once he's settled,

but for women, as soon as their careers take off and they get married,

then their careers are over.

Katrina is kind of slowing down,

-she was slowing down at work, you know? -Absolutely.

She got married. Even I was kind of taking a back seat.

Do you think that's true?

That for men, it is just a little pit stop

but for women, it's a complete halt.

-Almost. At least for a time. -I don't think it's a halt anymore.

I mean… Honestly, you're working in so many films.

There are so many others, whether it's Alia, whether it's Kiara,

or… Bebo has been doing so many amazing films.

So many of them are doing amazing work

even after marriage

but yeah, I do feel like there is

a conversation that starts in the industry sometimes.

That's what I feel.

"No, she's married. She can't play such a young role."

This doesn't happen for the guy.

And it's sad because I feel…

the people I'm dealing with, I hope they're progressive

but sometimes, when you hear that, you're like, "Really?

Is that the reality?" But I'm glad that women are, kind of,

making their own path and still going strong.

And also, the thing is,

we also have only one way of looking at things.

Coming to slowing down after marriage, it's more like,

"Oh, marriage is responsible for it. Oh, it's because of marriage."

It's also about what you're prioritizing and when in your life,

in your personal life, in your professional life.

All of that can't be explained in the public domain,

all of that can't always be given an explanation for.

But it's also something you understand over a period of time.

"Okay. So, these are the choices a person has made

in their personal and professional lives."

But at the time being… Of course, we're living in times

where there's always a comment

on anything that you do and everything that you don't do.

I feel it's, firstly, subjective. There's no right or wrong

but also, at the same time,

things are changing, but they haven't changed completely.

-That's what I feel. -Yeah.

-But it's still one-sided. -Women are trying to change it,

but when you hear it internally, the conversation has not changed.

But I also feel when a woman gets pregnant,

that one whole year to almost two years…

There's kind of no option at that point, right?

-You can't be working-- Yeah. -You can't beat biology.

But I also think when a man gets married, his identity is the same,

but when a woman gets married, her identity is completely different.

Even her last name, you know, changes

in many, many cases. I didn't change mine.

-I don't know if you did… -I did.

-You did. Yeah. -Neither has Katrina.

So, it almost feels like you're not a woman.

You're some small company. A big company has bought you.

So, you've changed your brand name, you know?

No… It feels like that sometimes.

I think for a woman, it's a very big issue

but the man, he seems quite unchanged.

-I feel now, it's much less. -Do you feel like that?

I know where there is coming from because we've been conditioned

by society and everything. So, we've seen this.

It's not something we're not familiar with

but I feel it's kind of…

It's not with the same intensity anymore

is what I feel, genuinely,

because you see changes now, you see changes in terms of how

things function between couples, in families,

in our film industry.

-It's what I feel, personally. -I also feel

that it has to do with the person themself.

I also think it has to do with women themselves.

I know a lot of women who have gotten married and have not slowed down at all.

Who have, in fact, taken it to another level,

gone forward, gotten a promotion,

had kids, and then gone and decided,

"Okay, I'm going to live in another city now.

And my husband can, you know… Because he's staying…

The kids are in school. Okay. I will come back for a week or two."

-People are actually doing this. -Yeah.

So, I think it has to do with women,

and also, somewhere down the line, their expectations of themselves.

Obviously, they have expectations of what they're supposed to be,

-Correct. -as well as what they can be.

I think those are two different subjects altogether.

And in this day and age, definitely, women are looking at marriage

as a partnership.

Yes, I will definitely be a daughter-in-law

and I will definitely be a part of your family

-but you will also be a part of mine. -"Part of mine." Yeah.

-100 percent. -That's an ideal situation,

but it doesn't pan out like that.

And especially after you have kids, it doesn't work out in that manner.

I feel it's transitioning.

No, but a lot of people's mentality is still

stuck there. So, we are progressing, but not a whole lot.

We're talking about a small section of society.

-When I was actually… -It's not changed that much.

even thinking of getting into acting,

there were many relatives and even my age-group male friends

who had said, "Oh, no one wants to marry an actress."

And in my head, I was like, "Why is that even a question?

I'm talking about my career. Why are you talking about my marriage?"

So, people have that mentality.

Yeah, but nobody would've said that to him.

-That no one will marry an actor. -No.

-That just doesn't happen. -See? That doesn't happen.

There is that mindset…

-We are lucky, like you said… -Let me just say

that, that kind of mindset exists outside as well,

where they say, "If he's an actor, you mustn't get married to him."

That's possible.

Well, hopefully, it will change and

hopefully, people will also take part in discussions like this.

-We'll get something from it. -Yeah.

-Yeah, 100 percent. -Anyway, moving on…

Now, it's time for a little quiz,

where we're going to ask you some prompts, and you have to give us

something spicy or something sweet

-or something tangy or whatever. -Anecdotal.

This pressure to say spicy stuff will kill me.

Actually, you're not the spicy kind. Whenever I see you with Katrina,

I feel very happy, I don't know why. I feel

that your body language together is so wonderful that

it makes other people light up.

Yeah. And I've seen her for a long time now.

When I see her with you, I see her really happy, and that's so nice.

The "Green Moon."

He is the "Green Moon".

Now, tell me something. "Share a spicy behind-the-scenes story

-that happened to you on a film set." -The film's name is Uri.

Okay.

So, what happened was we were shooting in Serbia.

Okay.

For all the action sequences. And I was playing a special force commando.

So, the uniform… I had a lot of gadgets on me.

And one of the gadgets was a GoPro,

a small GoPro on my shoulder. So, wherever…

So, the director said, "Listen, let's do one thing. Let's keep it rolling.

So, whatever footage we get, we'll put it in the war room scenes.

This is your POV because that's what it should be.

So, rather than shooting it separately, just keep it on."

And the job of switching it off occasionally was given to an AD.

And, of course, they used to forget.

And in between the shoot, I would go to use the bathroom.

-Oh, God! -And

-we were shooting in Serbia, and-- -Did the GoPro see everything?

Well, coming to the vans in Serbia,

the vanity vans, they aren't as lavish as the ones we have here.

-There, they have small trolleys. -Okay.

So, when I had to use the van,

with my height, I would have to… bend.

-You've given the perfect view. -And the GoPro--

The GoPro used to be affixed here.

I would use the van, come back, and shoot.

And a few days later, I asked my director,

"Bro, how's the footage looking?"

"How's the josh?"

"You know, the action scenes we've shot."

And he was like, "Hold on, bro. Forget that kind of action.

I want to tell you something. Please switch off your GoPro."

And I was like, "Why? What happened? We're getting extra footage.

I mean, it's good. It's digital." I got all geeky.

He was like, "No… Coming to the footage we're getting,

we're getting too much of it. It's something you wouldn't want to see.

It's something I wouldn't want to see, but I'm having to…

We now have that footage".

-And-- -"And it's not the footage of your feet."

Oh, my God!

Yeah. So, he was like, "Don't be so very energetic."

And… So, basically, I told him,

"Boss, I cannot say no to any of your scripts in the future

because you have some footage of mine, which I would not

like to come out.

Anywhere. Otherwise, it'll really be a 'Tauba Tauba' situation."

So… that.

-We appreciate that story. -You know? I always feel…

Even when we're wearing a mike on set

and you go to your vanity or you're chatting with someone behind a monitor,

I'm like, "Oh, crap! I'm wearing a mike."

And even this happens many times, doesn't it?

You sit with your co-actors and you're chatting and chatting and

the chat starts with, "Is the mic on?"

Yeah…

-"No, it's off. Okay, cool." -In my case,

half the conversation is over most of the time, and then it's like…

"Oh, crap."

What about you?

Do you remember in Dilwale…

The hotel… where we were not staying, but the crew was there.

Had you heard that it was haunted?

Yeah, I have heard about it.

-Do you know that? -Yeah.

So when we were there…

My makeup artist at that point

experienced something spooky in her room.

-Really? -And-- Yeah, yeah.

Like someone has tapped from behind.

Then suddenly all the makeup she had kept on some shelf fell down.

And something like that happened…

And Rohit sir, after…

The next day, Rohit sir and the team

have gone with an anklet

outside their rooms.

Making spooky noises

throughout. Freaking people out!

-I was just glad I was not in that hotel. -Best.

Yeah, that sounds like them. That sounds fully like them.

I would die if that happened to me. I am so scared of ghosts.

Yeah, yeah. Same.

Okay! "Love life.

Spill something sweet or cheeky

about your love life."

-I already did. -What exactly did you do?

-That's it! That's the only… -You've only spilled--

-info I can give. -You've only spilled…

that you have a love life.

-Okay. How did you meet-- -Now, say something sweet about it.

Okay. For the people who think that I'm getting married

this year or the end of this year,

-it's not happening. -It's not a sweet thing you're saying.

-It's a cheeky thing. -Okay, let me rephrase.

How did you meet this mysterious man you're not naming?

It's too soon to talk about it.

-Great question. -No, no!

How did you meet him?

-Not on Tinder! -I can just say, at a party.

-Okay. Your turn. -Come on.

-Don't think you're getting out of it. -"Something sweet?"

-No. -Something sweet.

You know what happened once?

I love Punjabi music. I listen to a lot of Punjabi music.

So, once, we were traveling and…

This is before we got married.

And there was one Punjabi song I was tripping on.

I was loving that Punjabi song.

And even she started enjoying that Punjabi song.

And we had gone to Alibag. So, we had driven together.

On our drive back, we were just hearing that song in a loop,

and even she started enjoying it.

And then she very cutely

made a video of singing that song in Punjabi.

-Oh, wow. -She sang that song and she…

And she was like, "I'm going to sing this song." And this and that.

And I told her, "Listen, this is not…" And she thought it was a romantic song.

And that song had such a gangster vibe…

That, "If you do this, I'm going to kill you.

You don't do that. We have this many guns with us."

It was that kind of song.

And she was like, "Please don't sing this song in front of anyone.

It's not the right kind of song." But yeah…

By the way, we used to work out in the same gym, me and Katrina.

And when she started dating you, suddenly, her playlist changed.

Suddenly, her playlist had Punjabi music,

and I looked at her and said, "This is your playlist?!"

Because those were definitely not the songs she was listening to before!

So, she was like, "Yeah, I like it. I can update you."

-I was like, "Okay." -"Unpopular opinion.

That one rebellious thought

they actually believe in."

In terms of opinion?

I sometimes get put off by always being politically correct

and the pressure that something is wrong to say.

People try to say the right thing rather than the real thing.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

You know? And that, I feel, is also not… How does that…

You're going against what you are preaching about.

-We've never had that problem. -No, that, you guys don't have.

But taking from that, I also feel…

What I feel is that I don't think actors need to be

talking about anything and everything.

So, I feel, sometimes, when we're asked political questions,

-or questions-- -But we're asked about everything.

Yeah, but if I don't want to answer it, it's fine.

I should not be forced to answer.

So, I feel like… Sometimes, you're like, "Oh!

You're not voicing your opinion despite being the person that you are."

And blah, blah, blah. But it's okay! It's my opinion.

I may not want to voice it, and that should be okay.

-I agree. -Yeah--

If people ask me questions I don't want to answer, I just say, "Blue."

Then they'll be like, "What is that answer?"

And I'll be like, "That's my answer. Blue."

You can't make a headline out of "blue".

-Outstanding. -I know, right?

-I think I'm going to use that now. -It's a very good one.

I keep… I train Akshay on this the way Katrina trained you.

-Wow, this is just great! -I trained him!

On a show, if they ask you, just say, "Blue."

-Yeah! There's no headline. -Wow.

Now, you all are not only big stars

but also contestants in our game called "Blend It".

So, should we just head there?

-Let's see what you do. -Let's go blend it.

-Come on. -Okay.

What are we blending?

So, you have to cycle, and we're going to ask you a question.

If you give us the right answer, you get some yummy ingredients,

but if you give us the wrong answer,

then you have some really terrible ingredients going in there.

And in the end, you have to drink it no matter what it is.

It could be chilies, it could be onions, it could be anything.

-Okay. -Okay! Let's go.

-Let's begin. -So, let's get into Oppo "Game On".

-Okay? Okay. -Let's go.

First question.

"Circuit, give me a magical hug."

-is a line from which movie? -Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.

They've lost. It's Golmaal: Fun Unlimited.

-Come on. Yes. -Wait a second!

-One… Please… -No. You haven't watched the film, then.

-Look, it's there. -Please. My whole life will be a lie if

Munna Bhai and Circuit's dialogues

-are in Golmaal. -It's not!

It's Golmaal: Fun Unlimited.

-It's Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. -No!

He said "magical hug" to other people.

-He didn't say it to Circuit. -Yep.

-Wait… -These are trick questions.

-Yes! Well, now-- -If they are trick questions,

-so be it. -Basically, you want us to puke.

-Yes. -I think this is cheating.

-Those onions, I can smell from here. -Oh, man.

This mixer's losing it!

Okay. "Which newspaper did Sridevi's character

work as a reporter for in Mr. India?

Taaza Khabar, Bombay Crimes, Crimes of India or The Globe?"

-Taaza Khabar! -Taaza Khabar.

Both of you have lost.

-"Crimes of India." -What!

-Man… Mr. Annu Kapoor was the editor-- -"Crimes of India."

-You all are very bad at this. -Yeah, you're really bad at this.

-You two are going to die. -What did you add to it?

Bitter gourd juice!

-It's some hideous sauce! Yeah. -Wow!

-Okay! Next question. -Wow!

"Which character in the 2007 movie Welcome is a gangster

as well as a painter?"

-Majnu Bhai! Majnu Bhai! -Majnu Bhai.

-Majnu Bhai. Please. -Yes, correct.

-What can you add to this to fix it… -Wait.

-Banana! -Okay, not bad. Yeah.

-One date! Give me more! -Add all of it.

Okay, two dates.

Those two poor dates are unable to go on a date.

-They're just jumping harder! -We need some water!

Okay, wait. Next!

"A song from Jodi No.1

is dedicated to the greatness of a particular source of protein."

-Yes. -"Name it."

-And I danced to it. -What! What…

-"Greatness…" -"Ande Ka Phanda."

-Yes! -Oh, wow!

-Chocolate. -What is it now?

So, you have failed.

-I have failed. I hate eggs! -You get an egg, dude!

-An egg is not a bad ingredient. -Hey…

-It is a bad ingredient. -She's the one who gave the answer

-but I'm getting an egg. -Absolutely!

You need to blend that first.

Yeah! Hear that?

Oh, finally, it's a shake!

"Which Hollywood actor was being considered for the role of Raj in DDLJ

before Shah Rukh Khan?

A. Tom Cruise. B. Denzel Washington. C. Michael Douglas.

-D. George Clooney?" -It was always Shah Rukh Khan.

-Tom Cruise? -Yes!

-You're right. -You could've asked me, but you didn't!

Panipuri!

DDLJ is turning into a Broadway thing, right?

-Yes! It has already. -It has already.

Right?

by a co-star, whose face is not revealed.

Which actor performed that scene?

A. Shah Rukh Khan. B. Ajay Devgn.

C. Akshay Kumar. D. Salman Khan."

-Sorry. Can you repeat? This was going on… -Salman Khan.

He's already won.

-You can't make excuses. -Yep!

Yes. So, you get a nasty ingredient now.

Since it's a coffee shake, there's matcha happening.

It's quite a mess, actually.

-My God. -You asked for it!

Well, that's very well-blended, and now, you'll have to have a swig.

And we're done.

-Are you ready for your smoothie? -Yeah, I am.

I can only smell the onions.

Look at that, it's like made in a restaurant!

Do you want it?

It's actually quite nice. It smells lovely.

-Apply this to your hair. -Okay, we'll…

We won't force you to drink this only on one condition.

You have to teach Kriti "Tauba Tauba". That step.

-If you do that-- -It's a punishment for me.

-Okay, done. -Done.

With that wisdom and a lot of laughter,

we get to announce the winner,

-who is… Kriti! -Kriti Sanon!

-Thank you. -Yes.

-Because she's our gold medalist here. -Yeah.

But we made sure that they didn't drink this

-Not us, actually, her… that step. -Her… Yes.

-Come on. No. -Us.

-Us. All of us. Come on… -Everyone will get a punishment!

-And also… -Let's go.

Teacher, please go ahead.

-"Tauba Tauba"? It's very simple. -Yeah…

-You can. -Teach us this.

One, two, three…

What are you doing?

-Yeah! -Oh, my God!

-Are you on-- -I have to give you a hug for the effort.

-Oh, my God-- -It looked exactly…

It looked exactly like how Ajay sir does action.

It was… It was like that.

-It was also like how he dances. -It was a dance--

It was a dance choreographed by a stunt director.

-This is actually very simple. -This is very simple.

-You should do it. -This is very simple.

-Do this. -What…

See? Even kids can do this.

Even adults can do it.

So, to commemorate this moment, make an expression that says,

-"Too Much". Yeah. -Today was "Too Much"!

-Thank you so much for having us. -Thank you.

Come on, let's take a selfie. Come.

Nice?

-Come on, let's go home! -Let's go back.
