Star Fights Back Against Twinkle Khanna and Farah Khan Trolling Her Generation’s Focus on Mental Health
The latest episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle featured actor Ananya Panday and filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan in a lively and humorous debate on generational differences. The light-hearted chat quickly escalated into a playful face-off, with Ananya passionately defending Gen Z’s approach to emotions and mental health against the good-natured trolling of the senior stars.
Gen Z vs. The Seniors
The generational debate was sparked by a game where the guests and hosts had to agree or disagree with a statement. Twinkle Khanna presented a humorous prompt: “Gen Z needs Google Maps to walk down their own street.” While Kajol, Twinkle, and Farah instantly agreed, Ananya firmly disagreed and launched into a defense of her generation.
Ananya asserted, “Gen Z knows a lot more than what people give them credit for.” Farah jokingly countered, “What do they know? They know about sourdough and all that.”
Ananya continued, focusing on emotional maturity:
- “They are very in touch with their emotions.”
- “They are the first generation that is talking about feelings.”
- “They are the first generation who are embracing mental health and freedom of expression.”
Twinkle and Farah were quick with playful retorts:
- Twinkle quipped, “They are traumatised by everything.”
- Farah added, “They are expressing it a bit too much. Even to get out of something is a mental health issue.”
Social Media’s Role in Casting
The episode also touched upon the increasing influence of social media following on casting decisions in Bollywood. Ananya agreed that digital popularity now plays a major role, but the senior panel—Kajol, Twinkle, and Farah—remained unconvinced, with Farah arguing that filmmakers do not cast actors in lead roles based solely on their online numbers.
