The latest episode of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' was full of humour, celebrity gossip, and light-hearted banter. Bollywood stalwarts Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan were the guests of the evening infusing a fresh dose of excitement among viewers.
Kapil Sharma set the tone for an entertaining evening by diving straight into amusing and intriguing conversations with his guests. Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan, who share a close and playful bond, were at their candid best, revealing unheard stories and interesting anecdotes from their illustrious careers. The camaraderie between the two was evident, reflecting genuine friendship goals as they teased and pulled each other's legs throughout the show.
A highlight of the episode was Kapil's cheeky question about Hollywood dating rumours. Turning to Anil Kapoor, Kapil asked, "Is there a Hollywood actress with whom you wouldn't mind rumours of an affair, rather be happy than devastated?" Before Anil could respond, Farah Khan interjected with a humorous "Anyone," much to the audience's delight. Anil, agreeing with Farah’s playful jab, laughed it off but made it clear that Bollywood actresses were off the table for him.
Kapil then directed the same question to Farah Khan, who did not hesitate to name Tom Cruise. "I even have my son's permission," she quipped, leading to more laughter. Archana Puran Singh, another staple of the show, added to the humour by suggesting Farah should seek her husband Shirish’s permission. Farah, quick on her feet, revealed that
her husband has been encouraging her to "go and do something," adding a hilarious twist to the conversation.
Kapil couldn’t resist poking fun at Anil Kapoor's seemingly reverse aging and youthful appearance, which has been a topic of curiosity and admiration. Farah Khan, known for her quick wit, playfully teased Anil by suggesting that he is lining up young roles. She joked that in the future, Anil might be cast as the baby in 'Hey Baby 2' or even as Neena Gupta's unborn child in 'Badhaai Do 2'. This playful banter had the audience in splits.
Farah didn't stop there; she continued to share anecdotes about Anil’s obsession with maintaining his youthful image. She recounted a humorous incident where directors Abbas-Mustan offered Anil the role of Sonam Kapoor’s father in a film. Anil, taken aback, reportedly declined the offer, exclaiming, “What nonsense? How can I be Sonam’s father?”
In a game of naming celebrities, Kapil fired a rapid series of questions at Anil and Farah, asking them to match Bollywood personalities to various amusing titles. This segment unearthed interesting secrets and even touched on some saintly personas in the industry.
One of the standout moments was when Kapil asked, "Who is more kanjoos (stingy) between Anil and Farah?" Farah, always ready with a witty response, said both are generous. However, she didn’t hold back from revealing who she believes is the biggest ‘kanjoos’ in the industry. Farah pointed to Chunky Panday, narrating a funny and spontaneous
incident live on the show. She requested her phone and called Chunky Panday, putting him on speaker. With the audience listening intently, she asked, “Chunky, listen, I need Rs 500.” Chunky, in his characteristic humour, replied, “Who do you want to talk to?”
Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan’s candidness and humour certainly added a unique charm to the episode. Up next, 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' will feature Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, the lead couple from the anticipated drama film, 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi'.
