1 Unusual couplings.
Who'd have thought we'd see Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh together (S5, E4)? Or that Freida Pinto and Nargis Fakhri would turn buddies on this couch (S4, E14)?

Odd pairings have made for some of the most entertaining episodes, though a few ended up serving really weak koffee.

In its 19 years, the show has had spats, jibes and simmering tempers. Deepika and Sonam took jabs at Ranbir Kapoor (S3, E3); Kangana labelled Karan "The Poster Child for Nepotism" (S5, E15); and Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul made unsavoury remarks about women (S6, E12).
