The Great Indian Kapil Show is bringing together two of Bollywood’s most adored sibling pairs, Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem, and Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty, for an exciting holiday episode as India prepares to celebrate Raksha Bandhan on August 9. A social media leak of the upcoming episode’s promo promises sibling banter, laughter and teasing as the guests make fun of one another.
Shilpa Shetty Roasts Shamita Over Raksha Bandhan Episode
Shilpa Shetty steals the limelight teasing her sibling when she takes the stage for Raksha Bandhan’s special episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. When Shamita is brought up by Kapil, he asks whether her sister hides everything from him to which Shilpa quickly replies, “She only hides boyfriend matters with me.” In retaliation, Shamita says, “I don’t hide it anymore,” and then Shilpa adds, “Because she’s single now.” On the later query about what she looks for in a partner-handsome, tall-and intelligence, Shilpa teases Shamita by saying, “Then why don’t you ever pick intelligence? You only check the body!”
All in all, this roasting is full of love and welcomes a hearty laugh from the audience and both sisters. Joking about his weight loss, Kapil said he must have learned it from Shilpa, leaving Shilpa amused.
Huma Qureshi’s Mother Warns Kapil in Hilarious Banter
Completing the episode are siblings Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem, who make a grand entrance carrying a huge rakhi tied to Kapil. Amid much laughter and festive atmosphere, Kapil comments jokingly, “I got married waiting for Huma,” to which Huma’s mother, who happens to be sitting in the audience, comes in and says: “She always called you ‘brother’-you should respect that. If you don’t…”
Kapil, really surprised, shoots back: “Turn off her mic-you mum is a thug?” The back-and-forth bears all the marks of the irresistible warmth, family juggling, repartee for which India is known.
Why This Episode is Important
This year’s special will combine Bollywood’s glamour with sibling rivalry and light-hearted celebrity cameos in almost a single breathe. Now that Raksha Bandhan comes just before August 9, the episode captures the essence of sibling bonding and family dynamics humorously.
The episode will also bring along some of the viewer’s favorite stars along with the Kapil ensemble, and that is Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, so that the scripted comedy will be balanced by lots of spontaneous camaraderie just as it is for The Great Indian Kapil Show. The series streams on Netflix, and it continues to be one of the popular shows with people of diverse demographics because it is relatable but at the same time glamorous.
