Kapil Sharma’s latest episode on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 became a hot topic online after a playful remark referencing Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic role in Chak De! India. The joke, directed at India’s women’s cricket team coach Amol Muzumdar, drew a mix of laughter and criticism from netizens.

The episode featured India’s women’s World Cup-winning squad, including stars like Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh, Harleen Deol, Radha Yadav, and Pooja Rawal. Head coach Amol Muzumdar joined the discussion, setting the stage for Sharma’s humorous exchange.

During the conversation, Sharma quipped, “Jabse aapne World Cup jeeta hai, log aapko Chak De! India ka Shah Rukh Khan bol rahe hai social media pe. Aap itne handsome bhi hai. Aapko andar se aati hai feel Shah Rukh Khan ki?” Muzumdar responded candidly, denying any connection, which prompted witty banter from Jemimah Rodrigues and other players.

Social media quickly reacted, with some viewers criticizing Sharma for overlooking the real-life inspiration behind Chak De! India, Mir Ranjan Negi. A clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) read, “Idiot @KapilSharmaK9 should know that the real hero was Mir Ranjan Negi, not Kabir Khan, the reel hero!”

Sharma responded with his characteristic humor, clarifying his intent: “Dear sir, when did I say Kabir Khan? I said Shah Rukh Khan, and it was in a humorous way… Happy New Year. Stay happy and spread happiness.” The exchange reflected Sharma’s signature comedic style, keeping the interaction light-hearted despite online criticism.

Jemimah Rodrigues added to the fun by joking that Muzumdar had “changed his name” to Kabir Muzumdar, enhancing the episode’s playful atmosphere.

The Great Indian Kapil Show streams on Netflix every Saturday at 8 PM, featuring candid interviews with celebrities and sports stars, blending humor with insightful conversations.
