The latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show's fourth season brought fresh Bollywood energy with guests Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. While the young stars shared fun anecdotes, it was comedian Sunil Grover who created the most buzz with a standout performance.
Sunil Grover's Flawless Aamir Khan Impersonation
One of the episode's highlights was Sunil Grover's spot-on mimicry of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. Grover captivated the audience and his co-stars by perfectly capturing Khan's distinctive body language, mannerisms, and speech patterns. His impeccable comedy timing had everyone in splits, earning him widespread praise from viewers who applauded how effortlessly he slipped into the character.
A Viral Moment: The Paparazzi Joke & Jaya Bachchan Connection
During his act, dressed as Aamir Khan, Sunil Grover enacted a scene where he was surrounded by paparazzi. In a light-hearted yet sharp moment, he turned to the photographers and quipped, "Kapde acche pehne hue hai tumne. Pant acchi hai aaj." (You are wearing good clothes. The pants are nice today).
This brief interaction did not go unnoticed. Fans were quick to connect Grover's dialogue to the recent comments made by veteran actor and politician Jaya Bachchan. At the We The Women event in Mumbai, Bachchan had criticized paparazzi culture and specifically took aim at photographers' attire, calling out their "dirty, tight pants" and questioning their manners. Her remarks had sparked a major online debate, with people divided in their opinions.
While Sunil Grover's joke was delivered in a playful tone, many viewers interpreted it as a subtle, witty dig at Jaya Bachchan's controversial stance, making the clip go viral on social media platforms.
Audience Reaction and Show Context
The episode successfully blended the youthful charm of guests Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday with Kapil Sharma's signature hosting and the ensemble's comedy. However, Sunil Grover's dual act—first as a brilliant mimic and then as a clever commentator on a current hot topic—became the major talking point. It showcased how the show blends pure entertainment with moments that tap into ongoing pop culture conversations.
The incident highlights the continuing discussion around celebrity-paparazzi dynamics in India and how public figures' opinions, like Jaya Bachchan's, resonate and get reflected even in comedy sketches.
