The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Salman Khan reacts to a woman sneaking into his house; says ‘She was a fan, she was taken away'
The highly anticipated third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show kicked off with a bang as Bollywood megastar Salman Khan graced the couch as the first guest. The episode was packed with candid confessions, humour, and some shocking revelations from the superstar himself. One of the most surprising moments came when Salman addressed the recent incident of a fan trespassing into his residence. Host Kapil Sharma jokingly asked about people casually showing up at his place. Salman confirmed the incident, saying, 'Yes, something recently happened. There were security guards outside. A woman told them she wanted to head up to the fourth floor and she entered. She rang the doorbell and our servant opened the door. The servant was shocked because the lady said, 'Salman called me over.' Obviously, the servant saw her and was sure I definitely didn't call her. She was a fan. So, she was taken home.' For context, on May 21, a 36-year-old woman reportedly broke into Galaxy Apartments, claiming she had known Salman for six months and had been invited to his home. Thankfully, the situation was quickly handled. The episode also saw Salman in a fun, nostalgic mood as he commented on Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh being on the show together. With his trademark wit, he quipped, 'We used to run this show before. Had they kept it, this duo wouldn't be here. Ever since the show landed on this channel, tab se ye jodi ayi hai. Mera show mujhse leke mujhe guest bana dia. That's some power.' Adding to the entertainment, Krushna Abhishek , dressed hilariously as bride Mona, joked about Salman's single status. 'Arre kab tak Shera ke saath zindagi bitaoge, ek sherni bhi toh honi chahiye,' he teased, leaving everyone—including Salman—in splits. Krushna even joked about controlling Salman's inner circle after marriage: 'Shaadi ke baad, sabse pehle inke bigaadne waale doston ka aana band karungi,' prompting roaring laughter, especially when she jokingly questioned longtime aide Nadeem. The episode beautifully blended humor, star power, and heartfelt moments, making it a powerful start to the new season.
