It's not an easy story...The struggle is the same for everyone and you have to work hard. Everybody has to do that. People don't see that part of your hard work. They just think 'They get everything handed to them.' We don't." 

Ajay and Rohit were also asked about the possible debut of their children in films. Talking about the same, Ajay said, "Right now she (his daughter Nysa) doesn't want to be.I don't think she wants to be but tomorrow if something changes they will run a 20-year-old interview that Ajay Devgn said this but right now, there is zero percent chance." 

Rohit also talked about his son Ishaan and admitted that he has interest in films. The filmmaker shared, "Yes, he wants to be in movies. He's made up his mind. He has to go through that whole format like I am going to take my car back from him and everything. He has to go through that struggle." 

Rohit talked about the failure of his film Cirkus at the box office: His directorial Cirkus released back in the year of 2022 and featured many actors including Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde and others, but turned to be a box office failure. Talking about the same, he said, "When Cirkus didn't do well, Anupam Kher came to my office. He's a friend and we've worked on one film and one very good thing he said, 'After a point in your life when you've worked so much, it's the event that fails, it's not you.' And yes, we went wrong and it was a film made during the pandemic and was made before Sooryavanshi was released. Somewhere I, as a director went wrong with that film, and good it was a small film that went wrong with, not a big one." 

Rohit and Ajay spoke about the success of Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2: Gadar 2 which released back on August 11 of this year featuring Sunny and Ameesha Patel has turned to be super successful film at the box office.

Ajay shared why he doesn’t show up at shows often: The actor was asked by Karan about his rare appearance on the shows, replying to which he said,  "I've always been like this. Initially, people thought I'm arrogant but now they know I am like this. I have this discomfort, I would say of mingling with people and just chatting and talking. I would like to meet people but when it's personal and private and quiet. Otherwise, I feel very awkward. If I decide to also go out somewhere in the evening for a get-together, by evening, I start falling sick also  and if I'm genuinely sick, Kajol will turn around and say, 'You're purposely doing it.'"
