In one of the latest episode, during a contestant's presentation, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani director asked, “Aapko kya kisi ne kaha hai aap Shashi Tharoor jaise dikhte hai? (Has anyone ever told you that you look like Shashi Tharoor?), to which Malaika added, 'Dikhte hai aur baat bhi karte hai vaise hi'. (You look like him and even speak like him.)"

The clip quickly spread across social media, catching the attention of Shashi Tharoor himself, who responded with his signature wit."Must say to Karan Johar and Malaika Arora that it’s clearly been too long since they’ve met me."
