The Great Indian Kapil Show with Aamir Khan.

'The Great Indian Kapil Show' continues to capture the attention of audiences with its fifth episode, offering a blend of humour and celebrity banter. This episode had Aamir Khan as the guest and the audience was treated to many more Aamirs as Kapil Sharma's talented ensemble, which includes Sunil Grover, Rajiv Thakur, and Kiku Sharda performed energetic sketches. In a delightful tribute to Aamir Khan's diverse filmography, they transformed into characters from iconic movies like 'Dangal', 'PK', and 'Ghajini', humorously portraying themselves as 'paid Aamir Khans.'

Aamir Khan stole the spotlight with his charismatic presence, delighting the audience with his iconic 'Oh Teri' dialogue and a charming dance reminiscent of his movie role. Kapil Sharma, known for his candid humour, didn't shy away from poking fun at Aamir, playfully referencing the infamous 'longest kiss in Indian cinema' shared between Aamir and Karisma Kapoor in 'Raja Hindustani', leaving Aamir momentarily speechless.

Aamir Khan candidly discussed his recent film setbacks, admitting to feeling like "ghar ki murgi daal barabar" in terms of relevance to his children. He also shed light on why he earned the moniker 'Mr Perfectionist', crediting Shabana Azmi for starting the rumour during a memorable tea-serving incident at Baba Azmi's home during the filming of 'Dil'. Shabana's inquiry about sugar measurements led to Aamir's witty response, solidifying his reputation for meticulousness and attention to detail. She asked, "Shakkar kitni lenge?" Aamir asked, "Cup size, spoon size," and then after thinking for five seconds, he quipped, "ek chamcha".

Aamir Khan treated the audience to a 20-minute masterclass, delving into his iconic characters, sharing insights into his approach to filming 'PK', and revealing how AR Murugadoss influenced his role in '3 Idiots'. He reflected on how unexpected events, like the Maharashtra Bandh, shaped his journey as an actor, stating, 'Itefaaq se bana mai actor'.

Further characters like Kiku Sharda's Chef Dhaniya Lal and Krushna Abhishek's Air Hostess Mona, Sunil Grover's return as Engineer Chumbak Mittal added a spark of humour. During this segment, he shared humorous exchanges with Aamir and shed light on Kapil Sharma and Archana Puran Singh's tactic of laughing loudly to enhance the show's perceived humour, earning a standing ovation from Archana.
