Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle: From DNA checks to love tests, what to expect from Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan episode

Get ready for a riot of laughter and surprising revelations as Bollywood’s beloved duo, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, reunite in the upcoming episode of Prime Video’s talk show, Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch the show with a top-up). The stars of the 2008 film Tashan—who haven't shared the screen in 17 years—join hosts Kajol and Twinkle Khanna for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation ranging from marriage logistics to enduring romance.

Twinkle Khanna's humorous origin story of meeting Akshay Kumar

The show will begin with Twinkle Khanna's humorous reminiscence of how she met her future husband at work. She reveals that her late father, Rajesh Khanna, had already promised her to a producer friend before she would ever consider working with Akshay.

Since Akshay was "going through a bad phase" with a string of failures, Twinkle playfully confesses to being "snobby" during that time. Saif Ali Khan, in his characteristic witty fashion, interjects, asking, "You’ve always given some flops and then super hits, so who cares?" in response to the professional setback.

Unconventional marriage proposal

As Akshay reveals Twinkle's meticulous and unconventional approach to her marriage proposal, the conversation shifts into a more personal realm. Instead of looking at horoscopes (kundliyaan), he says, Twinkle did a thorough "DNA background check", looking at his family's genealogy down to his "mamas, chachas and chachis", before she gave her word.

Akshay and Twinkle, with their vastly different personalities, provide insightful glimpses into their marriage. Their chemistry can be described as "She is fire; I am water," according to Akshay. He says that his ability to be "calm and quiet" and an attentive listener is the secret to his happy marriage, something that "every husband should be".

Saif Ali Khan's marriage wisdom

"I just think about playing cricket or something during the argument. I don’t say anything." Saif quoted his famous cricketer father, Tiger Pataudi, who used to calmly de-escalate arguments with his wife, Sharmila Tagore, by mentally shifting the focus to the game. Saif finds the quote an amusing analogy.

While filming Tashan in Ladakh, Saif Ali Khan gives fans a taste of his past relationship with Kareena Kapoor Khan, which helps to balance out the hilarious comedy.

Tattoo tales and thoughts on love

He had warm memories of their long walks together, during which Kareena would put him through what seemed like a "test meets interview" of questions. Following their "very old-fashioned" romance, Saif says Kareena constantly asked him about his thoughts on love. Additionally, he shares the history behind his renowned "Kareena" tattoo, while Akshay talks about his family-themed needlework.

The episode promises to conclude with another classic Twinkle one-liner. "Nothing is permanent in life. Tattoos are; marriages are not. I don’t want any tattoo; baad mein I’ll have to change it," Twinkle replies to Kajol's mocking comment that she does not have a tattoo of Akshay's name. Everyone in the group burst into laughter.

There will be plenty of chemistry, humour, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes in the upcoming episode, which features two Bollywood heavyweights reuniting.
