Bollywood actress Ananya Panday and filmmaker Farah Khan are the next guests on Twinkle Khanna and Kajol's talk show Two Much. Ahead of the episode’s release, the makers unveiled a promo giving audiences a glimpse of what to expect.

In the now-famous This or That segment, guests and hosts have to pick sides on statements. When asked to respond to “Social media clout decides casting,” Ananya agreed while Farah, Kajol, and Twinkle disagreed. Commenting on Ananya’s choice, Farah revealed that the actress agreed because she once lost a role to a social media influencer.



Later, Twinkle asked Farah and Ananya about their unlikely friendship. “What do you both have in common that made you friends?” she asked. Farah jokingly replied, “She could’ve been my daughter because I had a huge crush on Chunky,” leaving Kajol in splits!
