Salman Khan doesn't spare Aamir Khan, Netflix or Sikandar on Kapil Sharma's show: ‘Aamir jab tak marriage ko perfect nahi kar lega…'
Ever since its days on television, The Great Indian Kapil Show has been a constant source of laughter and entertainment for the Indian audience. Earlier known as Comedy Nights with Kapil, the show has since then moved to Netflix, and it is coming back with a new season. Netflix India, along with Kapil Sharma, made the announcement on their official website and on Instagram. To add to the excitement of fans, the makers have also revealed that the very first episode will feature mega-star Salman Khan. Now, the teaser of the first episode of The Great India Kapil Show season 3, featuring Salman Khan, has landed and it seems Bollywood's Bhai is really letting his guard down as he takes swipes at everyone from Netflix to Aamir Khan's two marriages and the disastrous response to his own latest release, Sikandar. A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) The video released on Instagram shows Kapil walking out to the grand set of the show with Navjot Singh Sidhu's voice in the background saying, 'Every moment from today will be packed with fun.' The whole nation is ready to laugh along. It then cuts away to text on screen that gives us a hint of our first celebrity guest of the new season. The text reads, 'Naye season ki shuruaat, Sikandar ke saath (We will start the new season with 'Sikandar'),' which is a play on Salman's most recent role in the film Sikandar. Salman, who was also a producer of the show when it was on TV, walks out to the set and accuses Netflix of taking the show away from them and then calling him back for the next season. He says, 'Netflix has a lot of power.'

The Great Indian Kapil Show is back, aur har Funnyvaar badhega humara parivaar. Watch the first episode from 21st June, 8 pm, every Saturday only on Netflix.' Returning members of the talk show, like Krushna Abhishek, Archana Puran Singh, and Sunil Grover, are also seen doing skits with the actor. We get a peek into several segments from the first episode, including one where professional Salman Khan imitators join the actor on stage. Salman takes a dig at his own movie and asks them, 'Is everything fine? I hope Sikandar didn't have a bad effect on business.' The actor and Kapil are also seen singing the iconic track 'O Oh Jaane Jaana' together from the movie Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya (1998). When Kapil asked him when he will be tying the knot given Aamir Khan is dating again, Salman took a gentle swipe at Aamir, calling him a perfectionist. 'Wo jab tak marriage perfect nahi kar lega…' Salman laughed, letting his sentence trail. The new season will be releasing on June 21, and Sikandar is also now available for streaming on Netflix.

And now, with the premiere scheduled for June 21 at 8 PM, the team is pulling out all the stops—including opening the season with none other than Bollywood's beloved Salman Khan. While the full episode is yet to air, a clip from Salman Khan's appearance has already gone viral, igniting spirited discussions online. In the now-trending video, Salman is seen engaging in a light-hearted conversation with Kapil and the crew when the topic veers into the territory of divorce and alimony. With his trademark mix of candor and mischief, Salman quips, 'Choti si misunderstanding pe divorce ho jaata hai. Aur fir divorce toh chalo ho gaya, voh aade paise bhi leke chali jaati hai." (Translation: 'Divorces happen due to small misunderstandings. And then she walks away with half your money.") The Unfiltered Version of Salman Khan will never be less entertaining😂😂🙏🏻 #SalmanKhan talks about relationships and divorce on the Kapil Sharma Show 🔥 — Pan India Review (@PanIndiaReview) June 14, 2025 The studio audience burst into laughter, as did Kapil Sharma and Archana Puran Singh, both visibly amused by Salman's cheeky remark. While the line was delivered in jest—true to the show's signature tone—its virality underscores the immense anticipation for this new chapter in the Kapil Sharma universe. But there's more to be excited about than just the celebrity guest list. Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show marks a historic reunion as Navjot Singh Sidhu returns to the judge's seat alongside Archana Puran Singh. Sidhu, who was once a core member of the original Comedy Nights with Kapil, had exited the show years ago, leaving a void in the banter-filled judge's corner. His return promises a dose of nostalgia for longtime fans who fondly remember his poetic punchlines and boisterous laugh. The show's core ensemble remains intact, with Kapil Sharma leading the charge, joined by crowd favorites Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and of course, Archana and Sidhu. Their impeccable comic timing, on-screen chemistry, and ability to riff off each other's improvisations continue to make the show one of the most beloved in Indian television history. With a new set, fresh sketches, and an impressive guest lineup that spans Bollywood, sports, music, and more, this season of The Great Indian Kapil Show aims to blend nostalgia with innovation. Sources close to the production have hinted at a bigger-than-ever format, with high-profile appearances, live musical performances, and a few surprises up the creators' sleeves. And if Salman Khan's viral moment is anything to go by, audiences are in for a season full of unfiltered celebrity confessions, viral soundbites, and plenty of meme-worthy content. As fans count down to June 21, one thing is certain: The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 is about to bring the laughter back—and with Sidhu's return and Salman's opening act, it looks like the perfect storm of comedy and charisma.

The Kapil Sharma Show fame Ali Asgar on how his kids faced bullying in school due to his cross-dressing performances; says 'mere bete ne mujhe kaha aapko kuch aur aata nahi hai kya?'
, popularly known for his comic roles in Comedy Circus, Comedy Nights with Kapil and , recently spoke about a challenging phase in his personal life when his children were subjected to bullying at school because of his cross-dressing acts on television. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He recalled a moment when his son, struggling to cope with the situation, asked him if he was capable of doing anything else. During an interview with The Lallantop, the seasoned actor also spoke about the reason of leaving The Show. Ali spoke about an important phase in his career during Comedy Circus where he first worked with Kapil Sharma. The actor shared that playing female characters in most of the episodes made him feel creatively unhappy. This pushed him to take a break from television on purpose. He said, "Before The Kapil Sharma Show happened we were doing a season of Comedy Circus which was judged by Daler Mehendi and Archana Puran Singh. We won the season and it was a great season. I learnt a lot and was working with Kapil for the first time. After that I didn't continue with Comedy Circus because while doing the season out of 26 episodes 18-19 episodes had me cross-dressing. There was a time when writers just wrote me playing female characters. By default they were like Ali will do it and other events or awards also offered me similar female characters. So out of seven days in a week, four days I was in female getup. It started bothering me. There's no doubt, I was getting work and was paid also well but there was no satisfaction. Intentionally then I took a break and trust me, I sat home for 9 months after that because I was getting the same female characters offered to play. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now I kept refusing all the offers and 9 months passed by, but then Jennie Aur Juju was offered to me and I grabbed it both hands." He further added, "Jeannie Aur Juju started off very well and after 4/5 months later Kapil offered me Comedy Nights With Kapil. They offered me to play the role of Kapil's Daadi and I straight away refused saying I don't want to do female roles. I told them my reservation but they convinced me to four-five episodes as the script was already written. They told me they will change after that and with the intention that things will change we went on floor. The show immediately went on-air and just after the first telecast the show got a bumper opening. People loved it so much that we never looked back and the character change we initially decided never came up. I was also juggling between Jeannie and Juju and Daadi became such a big hit, that I also did not pay attention." Speaking about his decision of leaving The Kapil Sharma Show, Ali said, "My character was not working and it became stagnant at one point. There was no development and after doing good work in the past I realised if I'm not enjoying the character how will I portray it. I felt it's better to leave than destroy a character which I've created it. I thought I should take a break and comeback later. I left the show with that intention. The characteristics of Daadi and Naani were similar. From dance, kiss, alcohol, everything was used. When we created Nani she was supposed to be visually challenged but there was SNP issue and we had to change. There was no development in the role and I just didn't want to work for the heck of it. Mujhe wahan rehkar sirf paise nahi kamane the. I decided to take an exit." In the same interview, Ali talked about the difficult time when his children were bullied at school because of his cross-dressing roles. He revealed, "During the Comedy Circus phase, when I was doing cross-dressing performances, my kids got bullied in school. That's when I decided to take a break and I was at home for 9 months as I kept refusing the female characters. We used to shoot four acts and they used to air Saturday Sunday and weekdays I used to perform at events same cross-dressing roles. They were young and in primary class, so other kids used to make fun of them. Tab mere bete ne mujhe kaha tha ke aapko kuch aur aata nahi hai kya? I felt before others start asking me, I better stop doing these roles. It was quite shocking for me. But God was kind and I got Jeannie Juju." Ali Asgar talks about his new character in new show - 'Movie Masti with Maniesh Paul'
