Revealing the Inspiration Behind His 'Tere Naam' Hairstyle
Comedian Kapil Sharma has made a triumphant return with the third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix , which premiered its new season on June 21, 2025. The inaugural episode was a vibrant blend of laughter and celebrity banter, featuring none other than Bollywood superstar Salman Khan as the special guest. His presence brought high energy, quick wit, and characteristic tongue-in-cheek humour, setting the tone for another entertaining season.During the episode, Salman didn't shy away from poking fun at personal matters. According to a report by Koimoi, he made a sharp, albeit humorous, comment regarding his younger brother Sohail Khan's past relationship with Seema Sajdeh. The couple had tied the knot in 1998, with Seema famously eloping with Sohail just days before her arranged wedding with Vikram Ahuja.The pair enjoyed over two decades together and became parents to two sons, Yohan and Nivraan. However, their marriage ended in 2022. Presently, Seema is reportedly in a relationship with her former fiancé, Vikram Ahuja. On the comedy platform of TGIKS, Salman made light of the situation with a quick jibe, "Wo bhi bhag gayi," suggesting Seema had "run away" once again.In the same episode, Salman was asked about Aamir Khan's recent public introduction of his third romantic partner, Gauri Spratt , during his birthday celebrations earlier this year. Responding in his trademark style, Salman described Aamir as a remarkable individual and noted that his 'Andaz Apna Apna' co-star has always pursued perfection in every aspect of life. He joked that Aamir may keep getting married until he feels he has perfected the institution but expressed hope that this new relationship would be the one that truly works out."Aamir ki baat hi kuch aur hai. He is an outstanding person. Puri duniya janti hai, he's a perfectionist. Jab tak voh marriage ko perfect nahi kar leta, voh karte jayega. I think yeh last hai uska. Yeh perfect hoga. Perfect banake chhodenge," he quipped.Salman's tendency to blend humour with personal commentary isn't new. In a previous season of The Kapil Sharma Show , he humorously addressed his brothers' divorces. When asked whether his brothers had watched his then-new movie Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman remarked that despite being the eldest, his younger siblings often disregard his advice, including when it comes to relationships. Though he acknowledged that the family remains close despite their challenges, he admitted things have become more complex post-divorce.During the same appearance, Salman also shared an interesting detail about his look in the film Tere Naam. The hairstyle, which became iconic in the early 2000s, was actually inspired by the late Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Salman added that actor Rahul Roy had earlier sported a similar look in one of his films.Tere Naam, directed by Satish Kaushik, remains one of Salman's most critically appreciated performances and marked the Bollywood debut of actress Bhumika Chawla. The film was a remake of the Tamil classic Sethu, originally starring Vikram.

Agencies How much does Navjot Singh Sidhu earning from TGIKS? Kapil Sharma has made a much-awaited return with a fresh season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, launching on Netflix. The debut episode featured none other than Bollywood icon Salman Khan, whose presence added star power to an already lively setting.

'I want to thank Netflix for giving us that much budget that we could afford Sidhu paaji," he quipped.

He later clarified that his own film commitments had also played a role in the postponement. While the spotlight was on Kapil's upcoming films, Archana Puran Singh shared that she, too, had been busy—managing her vlogs. This led Kapil to make another playful jab, claiming that her vlogs were just a clever excuse to let her family dine out for free. In a classic Kapil punchline, he quipped that her food videos were more fraud than vlog, triggering laughs from the audience.

This translated to an average payout of approximately Rs 20 lakh per episode during that period. However, with his recent return to the show on a digital platform, industry sources suggest that his remuneration has seen a significant upswing.

Current estimates place his per-episode salary in the range of Rs 30 to Rs 40 lakh, signaling a dramatic increase from his previous earnings. This surge in his compensation reflects both the exclusivity of the OTT format and Sidhu's continued popularity among audiences.
