The latest season of the beloved comedy program, 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', has returned to screens, and it is already creating a significant buzz among its dedicated audience. The season premiere featured global icon Priyanka Chopra, whose playful musical duet with Sunil Grover became an instant internet sensation.
Sunil Grover's Aamir Khan Act Steals the Show
The comedy sketches took a memorable turn in a subsequent episode that promoted the film 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri'. The guests for this installment were actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. However, a standout moment arrived when comedian Sunil Grover delivered a flawless and uproarious impersonation of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan.
Grover meticulously captured Khan's distinctive mannerisms, from his speech patterns and gait to his signature style of dressing and interacting with the media. Adding his own comedic flair, Sunil, in character, joked about marriage, teasing Kartik Aaryan about being unmarried, and humorously referred to himself as "unees bees Aamir".
Aamir Khan's Priceless Reaction
The impersonation was so effective that it caught the attention of Aamir Khan himself. In a recent interview with Subhash K Jha for Bollywood Hungama, the '3 Idiots' star shared his enthusiastic response. Khan expressed that he wouldn't even label it as mere mimicry, praising its authenticity.
"I felt like I was watching myself. I saw a small clip, and now I'm going to watch the whole episode," Aamir stated. He went on to describe the sheer joy he experienced while watching the act, revealing that it left him in stitches. "What I saw was priceless. I was laughing so much I couldn't breathe! There was no malice in it at all. I must have laughed the loudest," the actor added, highlighting the good-natured fun of the segment.
Show Format and Star-Studded Lineup
Hosted by the inimitable Kapil Sharma, the show features a core ensemble of comedians including Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and Krushna Abhishek. The panel is consistently joined by permanent guests Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh, who add their own brand of humour to the mix.
The new season has already showcased a diverse array of guests. Following the opening with Priyanka Chopra, the second episode welcomed members of the Indian women's cricket team, who spoke eloquently about their historic triumph at the 2025 World Cup. Sunil Grover's viral videos, where he mimics other legends like Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, continue to be fan favourites, cementing his role as a master impressionist on the show.
The overwhelming positive response from both audiences and the personalities being impersonated, like Aamir Khan, underscores the show's unique charm and its ability to blend celebrity culture with wholesome, laugh-out-loud comedy. It successfully continues its legacy as a prime destination for entertainment in Indian television.
