In the video, Akshay Kumar asks Kapil’s mother if she ever told him to make guests laugh when he was younger. He replied that Kapil was not mischievous in his childhood. Shocked Akshay told him, “If he is not a Shaitan (mischievous) then there is none in the world.”
The comedian’s mother then recalled an incident when a young Kapil used to place ‘pudias (packets)’ in front of people’s houses at night in his residential quarter. He said that the neighbors used to wake up in the morning and think, “Keda maar gaya, tona kar gaya.” He said, “I used to get very angry because I knew that this is my son.” Everyone including Kapil stopped laughing.
Thereafter, Kapil asked his mother about the first film that her husband had taken her to watch in the theatre, to which she replied that it was Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978). The comedian asked what was going through her mind and she replied that her husband was looking good but she was not. Kapil’s mother said that when he took her out at night, she was scared and kept thinking whether he would push her to death.
Sharing the video, Kapil captioned the post, “When your mother reveals your childhood secrets on National TV (angel face emoji).” He also added the hashtags – The Kapil Sharma Show and Kapil Sharma. Reacting to the post, a fan said, “Now this is the best episode of The Kapil Sharma Show ever.” Another person commented, “Awww! She’s so cute.” “You and mummy are so cute. Such a beautiful relationship,” wrote an Instagram user.
Kapil was born in Punjab to Jitendra Kumar Punj, a head constable, and Janak Rani. He also has a brother and a sister. Kapil tied the knot with Ginni Chatrath in 2018. They have a daughter Anayra, born in 2019 and a son Trishaan, born in 2021.
Recently Kapil’s first single Alone was released. He collaborated with singer Guru Randhawa for the song. Kapil will next be seen in Jwigato, which is set to release across the cinema halls on March 17.
