The upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show will be extra special marking Govinda’s return after his leg injury, which occurred when he accidentally shot himself in the foot. The much-hyped match will also be the reunion of Govinda and nephew, Krushna Abhishek, a key member of the cast. Govinda will also feature alongside Shakti Kapoor and Chunky Panday, with the promo already doing the rounds, giving fans a peek into the fun-filled camaraderie among the iconic comedy stars of the 90s. But it is the emotional reunion with family members which constitutes the crux of the film.
While greeting Krushna warmly, the promo shows Govinda and Krushna dancing together, embraced each other. Elated by the moment, Krushna chuckles, “Do saal baad mile hai, aaj nahi chodunga main,” as his sister, Arti Singh, looks tearfully from the audience.
At one time during the performance, Krushna, in his jesting mood, he refers to Kiku Sharda as a “gadha.” Govinda, turning to Krushna and their familiar banter replies, “Aur ek gadha hai yahan,” referring to his nephew.

For those uninitiated, Govinda and Krushna had a tiff some years back, in 2016, when Govinda took offense at a joke made by Krushna. Things took a turn for worse after Krushna’s wife, Kashmera Shah, posted a rather cheeky tweet regarding people dancing for money that was being perceived as a jibe at Govinda. Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, further asserted that she would have not appeared on the Netflix version of The Kapil Sharma Show due to the family feud and said that reconciliation did not look possible.
Responding to Sunita’s comments, Krushna shared with Hindustan Times, “I love her a lot. Mami has always loved me like her kid, and also done a lot for me. She has all the right to be angry on me. I know she says everything in anger, but it is nothing else. Main unka mana lunga, she is my mami.”
The tensions between them appeared to have eased when Kashmera visited Govinda in the hospital with her children, and Govinda also attended Arti’s wedding earlier this year, signaling a possible end to their feud.
