Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were guests on the premiere episode of Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle Khanna. The actors were asked a question about age gap between female and male actors in Bollywood. Their response did not really come to the point, admitted Kajol, who was speaking at a new conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India.

During the talk, when Kajol was asked about the moment during the talk show, she replied, “No they went around the topic quite nicely, ki humne toh nahi kiya hain… achha kiya hai kya? Really? Humko toh nahi laga (I don't think we did, did we really do that? We don't agree). I said really? Apko nahi laga? They beat around the bush a little bit but they kind of did not answer it.”

Kajol went on to add, “You can't get mad about these things. You genuinely can't. Not for any other reason, but its something out of your control. It is not something I can control.”

What Salman said on this topic

This conversation was referring to the first episode of Two Much, when Kajol asked, "When the hero romances a younger woman, it's called ‘cinema magic’. But when an older heroine romances a younger man, it's called 'bold'. Why do you think that is?" Responding to this, Aamir said that for him, casting “should be done based on requirement.”
