Kapil Sharma

Stand-up comedian and television host Kapil Sharma recently gave back to a troll on social media as he welcomed the New Year in his trademark style. He clapped back at the criticism with wit, sarcasm, and a playful comeback. He also extended New Year wishes to the troll as well as his fans after giving a befitting reply. 

Kapil Sharma claps back at troll


It started after a user shared a clip from The Great Indian Kapil Show online. The clip was from the episode featuring women cricketers and their coach Amol Muzumdar as guests. The user accused Kapil of confusing real-life hockey goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi, by whose life the film Chak De! India was inspired with the fictional coach Kabir Khan, portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan in the film.



The troll shared the clip and wrote, “Idiot KapilSharmaK9 should know that the real hero was Mir Ranjan Negi not Kabir Khan the reel hero! I wish Amol Muzumdar had fact check this clown (sic)."

Kapil respond to the post, clarifying that he was referencing Shah Rukh Khan, and that the remark was clearly made in a humpurous way. Kapil replied, “Dear sir when did I say Kabir khan? I said Shahrukh khan, and it was in a humorous way, which you will never understand bcoz apka taansane to besura hai hahaha, anyways happy new year. Stay happy n spread happiness (sic)."

What Kapil Sharma said

During the episode with Amol Muzumdar and the Indian women's cricket team, Kapil can be seen telling Amol, “Since you won the cricket World Cup, do you know that people are comparing you to Shah Rukh Khan from Chak De online? Seriously, sir. You are handsome too. Do you feel like Shah Rukh?” The coach of the Indian women's cricket team smiles and replied, “No, not like Chak De.”

Just then cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues interrupted before Amol could finish his sentence. She joked, “He is lying; he even changed his name from Amol Muzumdar to Kabir Muzumdar,” referring to the name of Shah Rukh’s character, Kabir Khan, in the hit 2007 film Chak De! India.
