Guess Who’s Back-Benchin’ Their Way to Prime Time Again? That’s right… chaos, comedy, and a whole lot of Desi déjà vu. The Great Indian Kapil Show is coming in hotter than your cousin’s wedding buffet, and guess who’s walking in first? None other than Salman Khan himself.
Guess what? Navjot Singh Sidhu has returned, owning that iconic red chair with the same swagger as if he was never gone.
Premiere Date & Weekly Schedule
- Premiere Date: June 21, 2025
- Streaming: Every Saturday at 8 p.m. IST on Netflix
Salman Khan: The First Guest, Because… Duh!
Kapil Sharma knows how to kick things off with a BOOM, and what better way to open the season than with Salman Khan?
He’s got:
- A new film coming (obviously).
- Fans across 3 generations.
- The Kapil Sharma Show counts Salman Khan among its producers.
- More swagger than your prime time show.
And let’s not forget… Salman was instrumental in launching Kapil’s show on Sony after it got pulled from Colors. So of course, bhaijaan had to be guest no. 1. Loyalty, baby.
Navjot Singh Sidhu: Back in the Hot Seat
Hold up. Is that… a loud laugh? A random shayari? A bright red turban? ABSOLUTELY YES.
Navjot Singh Sidhu is BACK on Kapil’s show, sitting in the same chair that once felt like a permanent part of Indian pop culture. BTS pics from the set confirm he’s out here, looking like he never missed a single joke.
And Twitter (X)? Oh, it’s already divided:
- One side: “The vibes are back!”
- Other side: “Archana Puran Singh deserves better!”
And honestly? Both sides have a point. But one thing’s for sure: nobody hypes up punchlines like Sidhu paaji, with a clap that echoes louder than Diwali crackers.
The Legacy: Kapil Sharma Is Still the King of Prime-Time
Say what you will, but Kapil Sharma has mastered the Indian comedy formula:
- Celeb guests, cross-dressed punchlines, and just enough sass to get memes trending.
- He’s been cancelled and resurrected more times than a saas-bahu serial.
- He’s taken breaks, made Netflix specials, and even beefed with co-stars.
- And still? His show is an event, not just content.
Now that The Great Indian Kapil Show is streaming on Netflix, the pressure to deliver has gone up. Better lighting, sharper edits, but same goofy desi vibes.
What to Expect in the Episode
Insider tea from the shoot says:
- Salman jokes about his marriage (again).
- Salman’s Take on his Nephew’s (Arhaan Khan) Podcast – Dumb Biryani
- Kapil throws shade at Bollywood PR culture (as he should),
- Sidhu Paaji drops more couplets.
Conclusion: This Comeback? Loud, Proud & Unapologetically Desi
Bringing Salman, Sidhu, and Kapil together on one screen is like putting butter, paratha, and achar on one plate: a little extra, a little greasy, but oh-so-satisfying.
And let’s be real, India needs this kind of nostalgic chaos right now. Between elections, economy, and existential dread: laughter is still free, and Kapil’s serving it hot.
