When Farah Khan and Ananya Panday sat across Kajol and Twinkle for Prime Video’s Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, the conversations had to be refreshingly real. Kajol and Twinkle Khanna`s discussion show has been making headlines since it premiered. However, several of their recent escapades were the talk of the town for the wrong reasons. The debate around their claim that `emotional infertility is worse than physical infertility` has yet to die down, and it appears that a new one is about to arise. This time, Kajol`s comment about Farah Khan believing in and remaining relevant after all these years has sparked some controversy online. Farah Khan`s forceful response has received widespread approval from netizens.
Farah Khan and Ananya Panday were guests on a recent episode of `Too Much With Kajol and Twinkle`. During their talk, Kajol said to Farah, “You are still relevant today, and you believe you are.”
Farah Khan shuts Kajol
In response, Farah replied, “Yeah, see I don`t like that word Kajol because I feel every person is relevant in some way or the other, even if you`re not working.” Kajol attempted to explain herself, saying, “I mean that when you feel like you are relevant.”
Farah reacted, “So I always felt I`m relevant to my children or to my husband or to my mom or you know even I think that`s a bad word somehow no? It puts down people who are not going out and working actively.”
Farah also opened up about power dynamics and breaking gender stereotypes, “I think the stupid thing is when people box a director into genders. I find it taking feminism back because I`m a director, and my gender has nothing to do with it. I did Main Hoon Na. If you remove my name, who`s to know that? So the stupid thing is to expect that a woman will make a certain type of movie.”
Netizens react to Kajol`s comment
Netizens have been praising Farah for shutting Kajol`s `relevance comment`, a netizen shared the video with the caption, “So happy that Farah gave I back to Kajol! Both of them are very annoying and condescending. Finally, they get the taste of their own medicine.” In the caption, the user wrote, “Both the hosts are very annoying and condescending. This show has unmasked the facade both Kajol and Twinkle wore.”
A user commented, “I will never understand how I actually liked Kajol when I was younger! Now that I am older, I am understanding she has no substance whatsoever!” Another one added, “She`s right..you dnt need to be relevant to the outside world as long as you`re happy doing what you do, even if it`s just being a mom and a housemaker. As long as it`s fulfilling. Its a choice. Women who want to work outside and women who want to be a full-time mom. Both deserve the same respect and appreciation.” While one of them wrote, “Farah is so grounded associating relevance with working, kajol and twinkle ko mukhya dwar sey nikalo plz”
Between Farah’s sharp wit, Ananya’s honesty, and Kajol and Twinkle’s epic one-liners, the episode was Two Much at its best, unfiltered, hilarious, and full of heart. The seventh episode of Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle is streaming now exclusively on Prime Video.
