The exchange
Raina joked that guests usually see their films flop after coming on the show, but Huma had reversed the order. “You’re the first one to flop a movie and then show up here,” he told her, according to the report.
Huma replied with a jibe built around the film’s title, and the two went on to trade lines about viewership, hate-watching and the film’s steamy trailer.
About Toxic
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic stars Yash with Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria; Huma plays a character named Elizabeth. India Today said that despite its big budget and star cast, the film underperformed at the box office, failing to cross ₹350 crore. It was also criticised over its violence, sensual scenes, depiction of women and a lack of emotional depth.
