The popular singing reality show, Indian Idol 16, continues to be a platform for incredible talent and unforgettable moments. In a recent episode, the show hosted the beloved comedian and actor, Kapil Sharma, who shared a deeply personal and emotional story that left everyone touched.
A Bond That Transcends Stardom
Kapil Sharma opened up about his lifelong connection with the legendary Bollywood actor, Dharmendra. Speaking with genuine warmth, Kapil revealed that Dharmendra has always treated him like his own son. "Unhone hamesha mujhe apna beta mana… aur unke jaisa na koi tha, na hoga," Kapil said, highlighting the unconditional love he received from the veteran star.
He recounted a powerful anecdote that showcased Dharmendra's unwavering support. While Kapil's journey began in local Laughter Clubs, it was Dharmendra who became his biggest fan. In a remarkable gesture, Dharmendra waited for nearly two hours in Toronto just to watch Kapil perform, an act that left a permanent mark on the comedian's heart and solidified a bond far beyond the glitz of the film industry.
A Treasured Memory and a Moving Tribute
Kapil also spoke about a cherished voice note from Dharmendra, where the veteran star blessed his show. This memory remains one of Kapil's most prized possessions. To honor both his late father and his mentor, Dharam Ji, Kapil performed the soulful song "Chithi Na Koi Sandesh" on the Indian Idol stage.
The heartfelt performance moved the audience and the judges to tears, creating one of the most poignant moments of the season. Kapil urged everyone to celebrate Dharmendra's enduring legacy, stating, "Poora duniya unse pyaar karti hai."
Celebrating Music and Dreams on a Grand Stage
Earlier, Kapil had shared his thoughts on the magic of music and the Indian Idol platform. He expressed, "Music has a way of making us feel alive in a way nothing else can, and Indian Idol is the perfect place for that magic." He emphasized that he was present not as a comedian, but as a fan cheering for the young, passionate contestants.
Kapil added that every performance on the show is a testament to where passion meets opportunity, making it a grand celebration of talent, music, and joy. His appearance added a unique blend of nostalgia, emotion, and entertainment to the ongoing season of Indian Idol 16, which continues to showcase exceptional singing talent from across India.
