Kangana Ranaut appeared on the couch alongside Saif Ali Khan and famously took a jibe at Karan Johar, calling him “the flag-bearer of nepotism” and the “movie mafia”.
Notably, The exchange went on to become one of the most talked-about moments in the show’s history and fuelled a larger conversation around nepotism in the Hindi movie industry.

On top of that, It was also Season 3 when another memorable star rivalry played out on the show. Kareena Kapoor took a jibe at Priyanka Chopra Jonas and asked, “Where does she get that accent from?” during one of the segments.
Later, Priyanka appeared on the show and was asked about Kareena’s question. The Barfi star gave a perfect response: “The same place her boyfriend (Saif Ali Khan) gets it from.”
