Kapil Sharma made a grand comeback with Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show, and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan headlined the premiere episode, delivering a mix of laughter, candid revelations, and unfiltered fun.
The opening episode marked the return of the beloved comedy chat show, now backed by Netflix with a revamped set, upgraded production, and some familiar faces that had the audience roaring with excitement.
Salman Khan Lights Up the Stage
Known for his charismatic presence, Salman Khan was at his unfiltered best. The actor shared personal anecdotes with Kapil, joking about:
- His brother Sohail Khan’s divorce, calling it a “family-level comedy situation.”
- His dislike for selfies and candlelight dinners, mocking modern-day romantic norms.
- Health issues like trigeminal neuralgia and a broken rib, speaking openly yet humorously about past struggles.
Salman’s honesty struck a chord with viewers while his timing fit perfectly with the show’s trademark punchlines.
Sidhu’s Return Sparks Nostalgia
Another highlight was the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, whose loud laughs and poetic interjections brought back strong memories from earlier seasons. Kapil teased him about his “Netflix-level” fee, joking that the streaming platform’s budget had to stretch just to bring him back.
Sidhu’s return was welcomed with applause, while Archana Puran Singh, who filled his place for years, joined in the playful banter.
Highlights from the Episode
- Sunil Grover returned as well, hilariously mimicking Salman’s famous walk and dialogue delivery.
- Kapil cracked jokes about Netflix’s high production value and bigger budget.
- Salman poked fun at Aamir Khan’s personal life, joking whether the perfectionist had finally “met his match.”
The chemistry between the cast and guest was natural and energetic, blending celebrity gossip with unscripted moments.
Netflix Partnership Takes the Show Global
With Netflix at the helm, The Great Indian Kapil Show is now positioned as a global Indian comedy property, accessible to a broader audience beyond traditional TV. The production quality is noticeably higher, the format remains familiar, and the show retains the same quirky soul that made it a hit.
The first episode is already trending on social media, with clips of Salman’s candid moments going viral across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
