Krushna Abhishek's Govinda Mimicry Sparks Laughter and Controversy on Kapil Sharma's Show
In a recent episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, comedian Krushna Abhishek has stirred both amusement and family drama by mimicking his uncle, veteran actor Govinda, as a potato peeling star. This playful act comes just days after Govinda publicly claimed that his nephew was "being used to insult" him through such performances, adding a layer of tension to the lighthearted entertainment.
Promo Clip Reveals Humorous Banter with Rani Mukerji
The episode, set to premiere on Saturday night, features Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji as the special guest. Mukerji, who is currently promoting her upcoming film Mardaani 3, engages in witty exchanges with the show's regulars: Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda. Netflix India released a promotional clip ahead of the broadcast, showcasing the comedic trio's antics.
In the clip, Krushna initially enters the stage mimicking Shah Rukh Khan from Pathaan, cracking a joke about keeping "Rani" in his pocket—a playful reference to the queen card in a deck. Sunil Grover follows with a spot-on impression of Aamir Khan, delivering the same gag, and Kiku Sharda joins in with the identical punchline. Kapil Sharma humorously notes the repetition, quipping, "I know you all have the same writers," drawing laughs from the audience.
Potato Peeling Mimicry Adds a Twist to the Comedy
However, the highlight of the promo is Krushna's return in the avatar of his uncle Govinda. After repeating the same pun, which prompts Kiku and Sunil to remark, "It's been done," Krushna takes the joke to a new level. He begins peeling potatoes on stage and, when asked about his actions, responds with a laugh, "Jab sab kuch hi ho chuka hai toh aloo hi chilunga" (When everything has already been done, I might as well peel potatoes). This quirky moment has gone viral, blending humor with a subtle nod to the ongoing family feud.
Background of the Govinda-Krushna Controversy
Earlier this week, Govinda spoke to ANI, alleging a conspiracy against him involving his wife, nephew, and Krushna Abhishek. He stated, "Even if you see Krushna Abhishek's TV programmes, you will notice how writers would make him say things that would insult me. I told him that he is being used to insult me and told him to be cautious of this." Govinda added that he is a steady person, contrasting with the fluctuating dynamics in his family.
In response, Krushna Abhishek told HT City, "I love Govinda mama, and respect him. He is a legend, and has next level thoughts." He suggested that perceptions vary, taking Govinda's comments in a positive light, despite the underlying tensions.
Impact on Bollywood Entertainment and Family Relations
This episode highlights the intersection of Bollywood comedy and personal relationships, as mimicry—a staple of Indian television—becomes a focal point for family disputes. The Great Indian Kapil Show continues to draw viewers with its celebrity guests and humorous sketches, but this incident underscores how artistic expression can sometimes blur lines with personal boundaries.
As fans await the full episode, the promo has already sparked discussions on social media, with many praising Krushna's comedic timing while others ponder the implications of his mimicry in light of Govinda's accusations. Whether this will lead to further public exchanges or a private resolution remains to be seen, but it certainly adds an intriguing subplot to the world of Indian entertainment.
