Karan said that he had a cute crush on Anushka while they were making 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.' Anushka was surprised by this statement, so she joked, "I feel really flattered, I have to tell you. Since I can do THAT..." Karan's sexuality seemed to be inferred from what she said.
But things got awkward when Anushka chose to make a joke about being sexually harassed. She said, "I was going to file a case against him for sexual harassment. He sometimes touched me in very strange ways." Katrina tried to make everyone laugh by saying that Anushka was trying to get a response, but most people didn't like the joke.
Anushka continued the "joke" by saying that even Jacqueline Fernandez had complained about Karan touching her inappropriately at a party. Everyone was shocked, because it seemed wrong and insensitive to make fun of something as serious as abuse. Many people were surprised when Anushka, who is known for having strong views, said these things.
Katrina quickly stepped in and calmed things down by telling both Anushka and Karan how much she loved and cared about them. She changed the subject and suggested that they talk about this "legal" matter at a later time. Katrina's help seemed to show that she was aware of the possible reaction and was trying to protect her best friend from more criticism.

In the end, Anushka's lighthearted banter went too far when she made jokes about sexual abuse. Even though she was on a talk show that is known for being casual and funny, she decided to make a joke about a sensitive and serious subject. Katrina's quick action stopped the problem from getting worse, showing how close friends support and care for each other.
