Twinkle Khanna and Kajol Face Fierce Backlash for ‘Normalising Cheating’ on Talk Show

Bollywood actors Twinkle Khanna and Kajol have ignited a massive debate after they dismissed physical infidelity with the phrase ‘Raat Gayi, Baat Gayi’ on their talk show, leading to accusations of justifying marital cheating.

October 24, 2025: The latest episode of the Amazon Prime talk show Two Much, hosted by actors Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, has sparked a firestorm across social media, with netizens accusing the hosts of trivialising infidelity. The episode, which featured filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Janhvi Kapoor, quickly devolved from a light-hearted chat into a heated debate on the complexities of modern relationships.

The Infidelity Debate

The controversy began during the ‘This or That’ segment when the panel was asked whether emotional infidelity was worse than physical infidelity. While Janhvi Kapoor firmly maintained that both forms of betrayal are unacceptable and that physical cheating would be a “deal breaker,” the hosts and Karan Johar held a contrasting view.

Twinkle Khanna notably brushed off physical infidelity with the playful quip, “Raat gayi baat gayi” (What’s done is done). Kajol and Johar appeared to echo this sentiment, suggesting that physical cheating might not be an absolute relationship-ender, arguing that emotional infidelity poses a greater threat to a marriage’s foundation.

When Janhvi strongly disagreed, Twinkle doubled down, saying, “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.” This attempt to attribute Janhvi’s clear boundaries to her youth was widely slammed by viewers.

Social Media Backlash

Clips of the segment soon went viral on platforms like Reddit and X, triggering an outpouring of criticism. Many users accused Kajol and Twinkle Khanna of “normalising cheating” and “justifying their husbands’ actions,” referencing long-standing rumours about their respective marriages to Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar.

“They are just openly acknowledging the deeds of their husbands,” wrote one user, while another commented, “How pathetic that Twinkle and Kajol have had to tell themselves physical infidelity is okay to deal with their husbands cheating over the years.” Fans also rallied around Janhvi Kapoor, praising her for maintaining her stance and refusing to conform to what they perceived as the Bollywood elite’s jaded perspective.

Johar’s Candid Confession

The episode also featured Karan Johar in his trademark candid style, who added his own bombshell during a ‘truth or lie’ challenge with Janhvi Kapoor. Johar stated, “I lost my virginity when I was 26 years old, and I’ve been intimately involved with a member of your family.”

While the statement shocked Janhvi, Johar quickly clarified that the intimate involvement with a family member was the lie, confirming his late sexual debut at the age of 26. Despite this dramatic reveal, the fallout from the infidelity discussion remains the episode’s main point of contention, sparking a broader conversation about boundaries and forgiveness in relationships.
