In the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, the stage was graced by India's top female athletes, making the 11th episode an unforgettable and inspiring one. Tennis ace Sania Mirza, badminton champion Saina Nehwal, boxing legend Mary Kom, and shooting star Sift Kaur Samra joined Kapil Sharma, sharing stories that ranged from their childhood games to their triumphs on the international stage. Their presence left both the audience and Kapil in awe, with their cool demeanor and remarkable achievements.
The episode kicked off with a blend of humour and admiration as Kapil asked the athletes if they buy gold when they travel abroad or if they just walk around wearing their gold medals. Sania Mirza, with her characteristic wit, responded, “Nahi hum sirf gold medals pehen ke ghumte hai. Pagal hai kya?” (No, we just walk around wearing our gold medals. Are you crazy?). Saina Nehwal chimed in, “Very good. Sania has prepared all answers and come,” highlighting Sania's readiness for Kapil's quirky questions.
Kapil humorously admitted his admiration and slight fear of Sania, joking, "If I am scared of anyone apart from my wife Ginni, it’s Sania Mirza. Aise jawab deti hai, pata nahi nashta Johnny Lever ke saath karke aati hai." (She answers so sharply, it's like she had breakfast with Johnny Lever).
The episode took a delightful turn when Kapil discovered Sania's fondness for Saas-Bahu dramas, suggesting an impromptu soap opera recreation. Sania embraced the Bahu persona, delivering fiery comebacks to Kapil's Saas character, much to the amusement of the audience.
In a lighter segment, Sania expressed her admiration for Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. Kapil mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan had once said he would love to play Sania's love interest if a movie on her life were made. Sania humorously quipped, "Abhi mujhe pehle love interest dhundna hai." (First, I need to find a love interest). Kapil then asked if she would prefer another actress to play her in the biopic or if she would take on the role herself. Sania's witty response was, “If Shah Rukh Khan plays my love interest, I will play, and if Akshay Kumar plays my love interest, then I will definitely act in my biopic.”
The episode was a rollercoaster of laughter, heartfelt moments, and delightful confessions. From reminiscing about childhood games to discussing their illustrious careers and personal preferences, the athletes captivated the audience with their charm and stories.
