Rana’s joke about Samantha and their playful banter.

Rana teased Samantha, saying, “From being my sister-in-law to now being my sister.” When he asked her why she wasn’t doing Telugu films anymore, Samantha quickly responded by asking him, “Why aren’t you doing them?” To which Rana replied, “No one is casting me.” Samantha responded, saying, “Same situation for me. But when we do films, we should be like Narsimha Naidu, not like Rana Naidu."

Samantha's counter about 'Rana Naidu' series.

Rana responded to this, saying, “That’s a series, not a film. I learned that from watching your ‘Family Man’ series.” They continued teasing each other, referring to the bold scenes in their respective projects. Rana starred in the bold Bollywood web series "Rana Naidu," alongside Venkatesh, and Samantha made waves with her bold role in "The Family Man 2."
