Karan on Shah Rukh as a father: "He behaves neurotic. He's that character from
Darr about his family, about his wife, about his son"
Shah Rukh on working with Alia: "This learning experience with Alia was more than what I did with you Bhatt
saab (filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Alia's father)"
Shah Rukh on Alia as an actor: "Alia is too good too soon. I don't want her to great trapped in just doing great acting without experiencing everything in Indian cinema. If you become too good too soon, you may have inhibitions being bad at times. It's really wonderful to be bad at times"
Alia Bhatt on being affected by the success of other actresses:"I like to be the best at what I'm doing, But I'm not insecurely competitive"

Shah Rukh also referred to a blooper made by Alia on the show's last season, when she mistakenly named Prithviraj Chavan as the President of India instead of Pranab Mukherjee. As a result, Alia has been the subject of several jokes and trolls.
But she beat Shah Rukh in the General Knowledge round this time, prompting the actor to say:"Pranab Mukherjee changed your life"
