The latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 proved to be a wholesome blend of humour, nostalgia, and sibling warmth, as two much-loved celebrity duos – Huma Qureshi with her brother Saqib Saleem, and Shilpa Shetty with her sister Shamita Shetty – graced the stage.

From playful banter to heartfelt anecdotes, the episode radiated Raksha Bandhan vibes while serving up a generous dose of laughter.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came when Shilpa Shetty candidly reflected on her childhood. In the middle of a light-hearted discussion about growing up with siblings, she revealed just how strict their upbringing was.

“Our mom didn’t spare us at all. She used to hit us with chapal and even jhadu when we were kids,” Shilpa said, chuckling at the memory. She went on to acknowledge that her mother’s discipline had a lasting impact, keeping both her and Shamita grounded and well-mannered.

Shamita agreed without hesitation, adding that their mother never shied away from scolding or punishing them when they erred. “She’s very strict, and honestly, it’s because of her that we have the values we do today,” Shilpa emphasised.

The conversation soon veered into more light-hearted territory, with Shilpa sharing how she has been actively involved in finding the perfect match for her younger sister – a confession that sparked much amusement among the audience and Kapil Sharma himself. The Shetty sisters’ playful teasing, combined with their mutual admiration and affection, perfectly encapsulated the charm of sibling relationships.

Meanwhile, Huma Qureshi made sure to leave her own mark on the episode by bringing along an oversized Rakhi for Kapil Sharma, setting off a fresh round of giggles. Saqib Saleem also chipped in with amusing tales from their childhood, revealing the fun, mischief, and occasional chaos that shaped their bond.
