A writer and journalist stated on social media that her concepts were stolen. Pointing towards a brand-new “guessing game” section were incorporated in the second episode. Which starred Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. On the basis of the inadequately described narratives, both actresses had to guess the names of the movies.

Talking about Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Karan asks them, “a grown man who can’t tie his shoelaces ends up accidentally revealing his hidden identity to his former nanny.” The writer-journalists also claimed that the said words were lifted verbatim from her 2020 content.  The article was titled ‘Calling all Bollywood Buffs: Guess the movie with the help of these badly explained plots’ which included the same question.
