Rajkummar Rao spoke about his journey from being a dance teacher to buying his own house in Mumbai, a dream that most wish to achieve while living in the city of dreams. Rajkummar spoke about his first salary saying, "I have been dancing since childhood and I was in the 8th grade when I used to teach dance to a 7-year-old kid. I used to go on a cycle to their house and I was paid INR 300 for the same. When I got my salary for the first time, I was very happy as my family's condition was not very good. So, from that 300 rupees that I was paid in cash, I bought groceries, and with the remaining money, I purchased desi ghee; I was all set to eat roti with ghee. And I remember that on the same day that evening when I was at a taekwondo practice for those 1.5 hours, I was only thinking about how I would go home and ghee wali roti would be waiting for me, bought from my own hard-earned money." Hearing this story, Zakir Khan said, “To all the Rajs and Zakirs out there in Gurgaon and Indore, my message to you is to believe in yourself and work hard. Hard Working people will always find their way, we have done it and so will you."

The actress explained how she made $40 while working in a coffee shop. Shraddha mentioned, "Meri pehli kamayi thi toh mere maa baap ne mujhe bahut pyaar se, laad se America bheja lekin unhone bola ki ladki bigad na jaye toh usko pocket money pe rakhenge. Aur budget me rakhenge aur unone bola ki agar kuch extra paise chahiye toh khud kama lena. Aur hamesha se joh mere pita joh hai, unki joh journey rahi hai kamal ki rahi hai." She further quipped, "Unhone bola ki abhi aap job karlo waha pe. Toh maine waha pe ek coffee shop mei apply kiya, job mil gayi.

Shraddha Kapoor shared how her mother often encourages her to live independently, as she's always lived with her family. In response, Zakir Khan recited a few heartfelt poems and emphasized that those fortunate enough to live with their family are truly blessed, urging Shraddha to cherish and continue enjoying that special bond.

One of the most entertaining moments came when Zakir challenged Shraddha, Rajkummar Shweta, Rithvik and others for a singing competition.

Both Shraddha and Rajkummar shared words of wisdom, making this a memorable and motivational part of the show.

Rajkummar opened up about how he bought a house in Mumbai after receiving an advice from legendary actor Shah Rukh Khan, “When one comes to the city, everyone dreams of having their own house. When Patralekha and I went out to find an apartment for rent, the broker showed us a triplex and we could not afford it. Then the broker showed us 2 more houses at a cheaper cost but Patralekha and I had a very strong gut feeling so we went ahead and took a leap of faith to buy the house we couldn’t afford. A few days before this incident, I met Shah Rukh Sir and he asked me if I had bought a house; I said no but then he advised me that whenever you decide to get your own house, buy something that is out of your league, because when you do this, God will help you and you will work harder to make that house yours. So, I was inspired to purchase a house and work towards it. And, with that thought, we purchased the house and after some time, we bought other ones too."

Zakir, who’s "Sakht launda" (tough guy) dialogue is quite well known is no longer a tough guy in-front of actress Shraddha Kapoor. He asks Shraddha and Rajkummar Rao about how much they are enjoying while shooting in his home town Chanderi (Madhya Pradesh). When Shraddha opens up about the sets of the show in Chanderi, Zakir mentions how he would love to be on the sets with Shraddha. Zakir added, “Jo set pe Shraddha ho, vaha kon naa hona chahe.” Later, the host Zakir says Shraddha and all her family members like dad- Shakti, mom- Shivangi, and others have ‘Sh’ in their names. Shraddha interrupts in and tells him that Zakir’s name starts with ‘Z.’ Zakir later jokes that he will change his name for Shraddha.
