To celebrate the streaming release, the star-studded cast came together for a fun and candid session, answering questions about modern relationship dilemmas. From open relationships to staying friends with exes, the actors shared their honest opinions, sparking laughter and lively debate.

Pankaj Tripathi opposed open relationships humorously yet firmly

During an interview on Netflix’s YouTube channel, the conversation turned to open relationships, and Pankaj Tripathi didn’t hold back his opinion. He said, “Relationships aur bank accounts open kaise reh sakte hain? OTP kisi aur ko dedoge?" The remark, which left everyone in splits, shows his humorous yet firm stance.


He added, “Kuch cheeze toh theek hain na. Evolve hone ka matlab yeh thode hai ki 3-4 rishte bana lein." His comments highlight his belief in keeping relationships simple and committed.

Other cast members shared diverse opinions

Anupam Kher said that the man asking about open relationships was looking for variety. Neena Gupta clarified that being against open relationships doesn’t mean one hasn’t evolved. Aditya Roy Kapur advised, “Stay true to yourself. If you don’t feel good about it, that’s fine.”
