AP Dhillon's Witty Take on Delhi Concert Phone Theft Incident
Renowned Punjabi-Canadian artist AP Dhillon recently showcased his humorous side while addressing the unfortunate mass phone theft that occurred during his Delhi concert last December. On the popular comedy program The Great Indian Kapil Show, Dhillon light-heartedly connected the theft incident with the exorbitant ticket prices of his performance.
The Concert That Made Headlines for Wrong Reasons
AP Dhillon's One of One India Tour concert held at Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in December 2025 became controversial when multiple attendees reported their smartphones being stolen during the event. The incident gained significant media attention, particularly because the concert featured some of the highest ticket prices in recent memory.
According to reports, the VVIP-Crystal package for Dhillon's Mumbai show was priced at approximately Rs 6.25 lakh, inclusive of booking fees. This premium package accommodated groups of 15 people and offered exclusive benefits such as private entry, enhanced viewing experiences, and gourmet dining options.
Kapil Sharma's Hilarious Introduction and Banter
In the latest promo for The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, host Kapil Sharma initiated the conversation with his trademark humor, joking about both the expensive tickets and the missing phones and wallets from Dhillon's concert audience. "AP stage pe apna talent dikha rahe the… aur log audience mein apna talent," Kapil quipped, setting the stage for a lively exchange.
Dhillon responded with equal wit, reasoning, "Jisne 6 lakh diye hain, poora toh karna hai (whoever paid that high amount, has to balance the payment)." This clever retort had everyone on set laughing and promised an entertaining episode filled with humor and banter.
The Organized Theft Operation Uncovered
Following the Delhi concert, authorities made significant progress in investigating the thefts. The crime branch successfully apprehended four offenders involved in what turned out to be an organized interstate gang operation. Law enforcement recovered approximately 40 smartphones worth several lakhs of rupees, including high-end devices like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung S24 Ultra.
Similar theft incidents were reported at Dhillon's concerts in other cities including Chandigarh and Mumbai, indicating a pattern of organized criminal activity targeting concert attendees across multiple locations.
Star-Studded Episode Promises Entertainment
The upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show features not only AP Dhillon but also comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi as a special guest. Kapil Sharma introduced the duo in his characteristic humorous style, saying, "Aaj is manch pe do global stars maujood hain – AP Dhillon aur Kapil Sharma," playfully excluding Bassi from the introduction.
The trailer also showcases appearances by regular cast members including Kiku Sharda as Chota Shaikh, Krushna Abhishek as Bada Shaikh, and Sunil Grover as Diamond Raja. Viewers can expect a whirlwind of comedy punches and pure Punjabi swag as Dhillon takes over Kapil's stage with his signature style.
This episode marks an interesting intersection of music, comedy, and real-life incidents, demonstrating how celebrities can address controversies with humor while entertaining their audience. The conversation around concert security and ticket pricing continues to be relevant in the entertainment industry, making Dhillon's candid discussion particularly noteworthy.
