WEBVTT
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:32.200 align:center
Thank you.
00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:39.040 align:center
Good evening and welcome to
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5.
00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:43.399 align:center
Archana ma'am, Sidhu sahab.
00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:46.679 align:center
Do you know what the world's
biggest celebration is?
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:47.999 align:center
What?
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.480 align:center
Life.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.760 align:center
If you go to sleep tonight
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:55.320 align:center
and wake up the next day,
00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.159 align:center
celebrate.
00:00:57.160 --> 00:00:58.320 align:center
Yes.
00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:01.040 align:center
Because nothing beats life.
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:04.799 align:center
Though everyone has their own
way of living life.
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:06.560 align:center
Look at all the shows on TV these days,
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.199 align:center
giving people such crazy tasks.
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.879 align:center
What's a task for them
is just everyday life for regular folks.
00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:14.479 align:center
For example, there's a show
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.879 align:center
where they put 20 different kinds
of people in a house.
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:17.920 align:center
You were on that show.
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.639 align:center
Then they fight,
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.319 align:center
brawl, curse at each other,
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:25.720 align:center
and fight over bread and eggs.
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:29.040 align:center
What they call a show,
we call a joint family.
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:33.679 align:center
In a joint family,
two daughters-in-law never get along.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.599 align:center
Yes.
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:35.680 align:center
Mom-in-law hates both.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.080 align:center
The brothers get drunk
and fight in the evenings.
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:41.600 align:center
The sister's husband steps in.
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.400 align:center
Either they listen to him,
or they beat him up.
00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:49.440 align:center
Then the bua jumps in and fuels the fire.
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.559 align:center
We spend our whole lives
in that kind of chaos.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.879 align:center
And no prize money either.
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:56.999 align:center
"Prize money…"
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.919 align:center
Right? After all the fighting,
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.879 align:center
if we manage to save our family,
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:02.960 align:center
that's the prize money. Nothing else.
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.519 align:center
For common folks, Mumbai is a chore.
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.599 align:center
Homes are so tiny,
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:12.039 align:center
one bathroom for eight people.
00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:13.160 align:center
Everyone has a slot.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.719 align:center
First, the school-going kids,
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:17.159 align:center
then Dad who goes to the office,
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.719 align:center
then the homemaker wife,
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:20.440 align:center
and then the elders get all day.
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:22.320 align:center
Well…
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:26.559 align:center
When Dad has to rush to work,
it's a real pain.
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.479 align:center
While he's picking up the newspaper
from the door,
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:29.399 align:center
the kid slips inside.
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.319 align:center
He goes, "Wait!"
00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:33.080 align:center
Dad throws the newspaper,
but the kid's already inside.
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:35.640 align:center
When Dad curses from outside,
00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:39.079 align:center
the poor kid, like Iran under US pressure,
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.200 align:center
halts his bombing midway.
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.640 align:center
That's how it is.
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.119 align:center
Sidhu sahab,
anything counts as a task now.
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.239 align:center
- Drinking water is a task.
- Yes.
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.319 align:center
They tell you to drink
three liters of water daily.
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:54.279 align:center
- Yes.
- There are these bottles--
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.280 align:center
Let me show you. Show the bottle here.
00:02:56.920 --> 00:02:57.800 align:center
- Yes.
- Look.
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.319 align:center
It has reminders written on it,
all timed out.
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:03.320 align:center
Like, "8:00 a.m. Get started."
00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:05.560 align:center
"10:00 a.m. Remember your goal."
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.599 align:center
"12:00 p.m. Keep drinking."
00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:08.759 align:center
"2:00 p.m. Don't give up.
00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:10.359 align:center
"4:00 p.m. No excuses."
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.119 align:center
"6:00 p.m. You're almost there."
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.679 align:center
By 8:00 p.m., you finish all the water.
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:15.919 align:center
Then it says, "You did it."
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:17.000 align:center
Now look at a liquor bottle.
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.519 align:center
It's the exact opposite.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.520 align:center
It starts at 8:00 p.m., not 8:00 a.m.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.479 align:center
- You don't even have to write on it.
- Nope.
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:29.639 align:center
It's just understood.
00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:30.999 align:center
People just follow it.
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.160 align:center
"8:00 p.m. Get started."
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:36.160 align:center
"10:00 p.m. Remember your goal."
Finish it all.
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.840 align:center
"12:00 a.m. Keep drinking."
The night's still young.
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:43.360 align:center
"2:00 a.m. Bring another bottle!"
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.960 align:center
"3:00 a.m. Nobody's going home!"
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.119 align:center
"4:00 a.m. You're almost there."
Meaning, you're wasted.
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.560 align:center
- "Almost there…"
- "6:00 a.m. You did it!"
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.520 align:center
By then, he's out cold, lying in a gutter.
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:14.519 align:center
Go out for weekend dinner in the city,
and that's a whole task.
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.919 align:center
Every restaurant is packed.
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.599 align:center
A guy's with family, wife dressed up,
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.200 align:center
two kids in tow, but no room.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.519 align:center
The guy's waiting outside.
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.239 align:center
Waiters carry food right past them.
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.199 align:center
And they skip the menu.
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:29.399 align:center
They order by watching others' food.
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:30.560 align:center
Dal looks good.
00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:35.720 align:center
Someone's eating from his plate,
while this guy savors it with his eyes.
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.999 align:center
Someone orders a sizzler,
and the whole restaurant knows.
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.320 align:center
Smoke billows from the plate
as this guy stares at it…
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:56.159 align:center
And this guy who's waiting
gets the most annoyed at the guy
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.119 align:center
who finishes eating and still waits
ten minutes for a finger bowl.
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.760 align:center
"Bring the finger bowl!"
00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:03.839 align:center
If he had his way,
00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:05.960 align:center
he'd lick his fingers and say,
"Just leave!"
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:08.640 align:center
Right? He's hungry.
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.159 align:center
All right, you finally get a table.
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.279 align:center
Then ordering food is a task in itself.
00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:16.999 align:center
Back then, waiters recited the menu.
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.839 align:center
"Sir, paneer tikka, paneer masala,
paneer kadhai, yellow dal, black dal,
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:21.160 align:center
mom's dal, dad's booze--" Whatever…
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:25.520 align:center
Menus vanished, replaced by scanners.
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:28.799 align:center
Older folks don't get scanners,
poor things.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.439 align:center
So they order what they always eat.
00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:31.840 align:center
"Son, bring dal and roti."
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.440 align:center
The waiter says,
"Sir, this is a Japanese restaurant."
00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:38.719 align:center
He looks at his grandson.
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.400 align:center
Kids are so confident.
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.719 align:center
Right? Always ready to order.
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.880 align:center
"Okay. One blue butter Japanese rice
with Thai curry."
00:05:47.320 --> 00:05:49.799 align:center
"One sushi nikkei avocado uramaki."
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.160 align:center
Hearing this, the old man
curses under his breath, like, "What?"
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.319 align:center
Then the sushi comes with chopsticks.
00:05:58.320 --> 00:05:59.359 align:center
Yes.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.920 align:center
The old man thinks,
"They're here to humiliate me today."
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.280 align:center
"I don't know how to eat sushi,
and they gave me spears!"
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.280 align:center
Dinesh once ordered sushi.
00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:14.439 align:center
Clueless, he joined both chopsticks,
00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:16.720 align:center
made a spear,
and went straight for the sushi!
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.360 align:center
He murdered that sushi.
00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:25.560 align:center
He didn't eat sushi, it was suicide.
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:29.839 align:center
His wife told him to eat with them.
00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:31.879 align:center
Before that, when the chopsticks arrived,
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:34.279 align:center
he stuck them behind his ears
and ate with his hands.
00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:35.480 align:center
I mean…
00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:39.519 align:center
Have you seen those four-story burgers?
00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:41.239 align:center
- Yes.
- The ones in the ads?
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.720 align:center
A bun on top, a bun on the bottom,
and God knows what in between.
00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:46.599 align:center
Right? You can't even hold it at first.
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.560 align:center
- That's true.
- You crush it with your elbow.
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.640 align:center
Then grab it in front.
00:06:51.200 --> 00:06:53.800 align:center
To eat it, a guy warms up his mouth.
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:56.920 align:center
Stretches his jaw.
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.399 align:center
Then you hold it here and squeeze.
00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:04.319 align:center
You bite the front, and the back bursts.
00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:06.239 align:center
- Right?
- So true.
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.040 align:center
The second you press,
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.559 align:center
a tomato slips out the back,
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.320 align:center
like Raghav Chadha leaving AAP.
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.079 align:center
The guy tries to save Raghav Chadha,
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:24.040 align:center
and the whole party falls apart.
00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:27.520 align:center
Good one!
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.479 align:center
Eventually, a guy just gives up.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.639 align:center
- Yes.
- He sees who's watching,
00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:35.160 align:center
and eats that burger like pav bhaji.
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.479 align:center
Anyway, we were talking tasks.
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.480 align:center
Time to earn our bread and butter.
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:45.679 align:center
And welcome tonight's guests.
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.119 align:center
They're truly special,
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.159 align:center
and I'm genuinely thrilled today.
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.679 align:center
These are guests who, in their own way,
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.400 align:center
have inspired people
to move forward in life.
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.679 align:center
With big applause, I want to welcome
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:58.999 align:center
this trio of friends.
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.200 align:center
Please welcome Mr. Pankaj Tripathi,
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.159 align:center
Mr. Zakir Khan,
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.280 align:center
and Dr. Vikas Divyakirti sahab.
00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:15.120 align:center
Brother, greetings, greetings!
00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:16.840 align:center
Welcome, sir!
00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:18.880 align:center
Zakir bhai!
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.839 align:center
Welcome, welcome.
00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:26.720 align:center
Wow.
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.679 align:center
Today's episode is gonna be great!
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.199 align:center
Sir, I've met Pankaj bhai many times,
and it's an honor.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.639 align:center
Zakir bhai is my friend too.
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.239 align:center
It's my first time meeting you,
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.879 align:center
and you're the first teacher
I've ever become a fan of.
00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:41.880 align:center
Normally, we fear teachers.
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.959 align:center
Partly due to our antics…
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.559 align:center
The teachers probably played a part too.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.399 align:center
But, sir, the way you teach,
and your unique style,
00:08:52.400 --> 00:08:55.119 align:center
how you keep students engaged
alongside the lessons,
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.079 align:center
it shows in how your students react.
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.999 align:center
I watch so many of your videos, sir.
Thank you so much for coming.
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.640 align:center
- Thank you.
- Welcome. Please.
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.359 align:center
As you already know,
Vikas sir is an educator,
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.879 align:center
Zakir bhai is a stand-up comedian,
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:13.279 align:center
and Pankaj bhai is an actor.
00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:15.880 align:center
And the funny thing is,
all three of them are my fans.
00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:19.079 align:center
- Sorry, jokes aside.
- That's true.
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.959 align:center
Sir, first of all, I'd like to know,
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.679 align:center
when did the three of you first meet?
How did you become friends?
00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:29.759 align:center
The first time I met Vikas sir
was right there in the classroom.
00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:31.999 align:center
- Really? Were you studying for UPSC?
- Yes.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.959 align:center
Yes, yes. I wanted to.
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.319 align:center
We're all just dreamers.
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.399 align:center
- That's correct.
- He's the realist.
00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:38.599 align:center
Right, so then?
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.519 align:center
To the goals I didn't complete,
I bow in humble defeat.
00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:42.599 align:center
- Wow.
- Wow.
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:47.199 align:center
My UPSC dream didn't pan out,
but I used to listen to his lectures.
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.719 align:center
- Okay.
- And the commute was so long
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.559 align:center
that I'd listen to his long lectures
to pass the time.
00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:58.680 align:center
So I only know him through his classes,
knowledge, and books.
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.199 align:center
During COVID, we had long phone calls.
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.399 align:center
- Yes.
- Okay.
00:10:02.400 --> 00:10:05.839 align:center
- We actually met on the set of OMG 2.
- On the set. Yes.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.159 align:center
Sir came for 12th Fail,
00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:09.439 align:center
- to help with writing…
- Yes.
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.399 align:center
- 12th Fail was being written.
- Okay.
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:14.079 align:center
There's a role in it based on me.
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.839 align:center
- So--
- I saw 12th Fail and your scene.
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.719 align:center
- I wanted him to play that role.
- I see.
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.919 align:center
So I requested him,
but I ended up doing it myself.
00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:24.959 align:center
Who could play your role better than you?
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.079 align:center
No, even so…
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.040 align:center
So, Zakir bhai, how'd you end up
among educated folks?
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:36.879 align:center
How did you meet them?
00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:38.960 align:center
I'm just as surprised.
00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:41.959 align:center
How did I end up with them?
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.879 align:center
I don't know if this sounds inappropriate,
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:46.999 align:center
or if I even should say it.
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.080 align:center
But I've slept with Vikas sir a lot.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:55.559 align:center
I was brought up in a joint family.
00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:57.680 align:center
Someone at home
is always talking around you.
00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.359 align:center
Right.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.159 align:center
Now I live in Mumbai
and have made a name for myself.
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:05.039 align:center
I have a big room, the AC running,
no noise, and I still can't sleep.
00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:05.959 align:center
Yes.
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:07.600 align:center
It's nice when someone's
talking next to you.
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.919 align:center
So that's why I'd put on my earphones
and listen to his lectures…
00:11:12.920 --> 00:11:15.039 align:center
- You watched his videos first?
- Yes.
00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:16.719 align:center
Yeah, first I saw his videos.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.959 align:center
Then my friend, Saurabh Dwivedi sahab…
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.279 align:center
- Yes, yes.
-…who was on your show,
00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:24.239 align:center
I asked him to introduce me to Vikas sir.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.479 align:center
Also, they say
you should surround yourself
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.719 align:center
- with smarter people.
- Yes.
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.599 align:center
- So that's why I made him my friend.
- So…
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:31.760 align:center
That makes--
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.639 align:center
I was gonna say, that makes sense for him.
00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:36.799 align:center
What did you think?
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:39.200 align:center
He thought he should
keep some fools around.
00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:46.200 align:center
Why did I meet him, or feel so glad
to have the chance to meet you?
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.160 align:center
I believe that comedians
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.079 align:center
have the highest IQ.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.080 align:center
I think in an IQ test,
comedians would come out on top.
00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:59.439 align:center
Because it takes a very sharp mind.
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.759 align:center
You have to use the right word
at exactly the right time
00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:04.599 align:center
and pause at just the right moment.
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.199 align:center
So, among the comics around me,
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.920 align:center
I especially like the ones
who swear a little less.
00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:12.680 align:center
So…
00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:19.559 align:center
There's even a spiritual side to this,
Kapil paaji.
00:12:19.560 --> 00:12:21.159 align:center
What you do is huge.
00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:23.239 align:center
It is spiritual, too.
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.199 align:center
It's presence of mind, right?
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.839 align:center
- Yes.
- Replying instantly, which means…
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.319 align:center
Spirituality teaches us
to live in the moment.
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.199 align:center
So when a comic performs on stage,
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.679 align:center
he is most in the present.
00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:40.879 align:center
He processes the input
and responds within a second.
00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:43.239 align:center
So you're spiritual too.
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.480 align:center
Oh, thank you, Pankaj bhai.
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:48.719 align:center
Today, sir, we decided
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.000 align:center
to make Kapil realize
just how big his work is.
00:12:54.880 --> 00:12:57.599 align:center
Sir, you said a comedian
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.999 align:center
- has to react in just a few seconds.
- Yes.
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.719 align:center
- Then cricketers are truly top-class.
- Absolutely.
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.680 align:center
When a ball comes at Virat Kohli,
00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:09.640 align:center
it comes at 150 km/h.
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.639 align:center
So just imagine, he has
only a fraction of a second
00:13:13.640 --> 00:13:15.159 align:center
to hit a four or a six!
00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:18.079 align:center
Wait, I have one thing
to say to Sidhu sahab.
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.560 align:center
When comedians were being praised…
00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:29.239 align:center
We'd reached a spiritual level.
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.160 align:center
Yes, yes.
00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:34.040 align:center
Cricketers make the most money.
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:37.639 align:center
- Yes.
- They get three whole pages in the paper.
00:13:37.640 --> 00:13:38.559 align:center
- Yes.
- Okay?
00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:41.200 align:center
Yet you couldn't bear two minutes of…
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.759 align:center
Why would I shoot myself in the foot?
00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:51.880 align:center
Man, comedians pay my bills!
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.359 align:center
What are you saying?
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.640 align:center
I agree with you.
00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.200 align:center
You have to agree, or he won't stop.
00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:06.360 align:center
When Sidhu ji entered commentary,
we were just students.
00:14:07.280 --> 00:14:09.799 align:center
In IAS interviews,
some kids list cricket as a hobby,
00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:11.319 align:center
so questions about him came up too.
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:12.239 align:center
I see.
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.840 align:center
- Back then, Sidhuism was the term, right?
- Sidhuism?
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.999 align:center
Some wrote in a unique style in papers.
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.440 align:center
Like Prabhash Joshi, a great satirist.
00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:22.319 align:center
He wrote, "When Sachin married,
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.560 align:center
he started staying in his crease."
00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:27.960 align:center
"He stepped out only when needed."
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.439 align:center
But he's the one who brought that
from print media to television.
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.960 align:center
- No, no. Thank you.
- And the metaphors he used…
00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:38.519 align:center
He may or may not remember this,
00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:39.800 align:center
but it got so famous.
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.120 align:center
"Team India is falling
like bicycles in a bike rack."
00:14:48.640 --> 00:14:49.999 align:center
I said a lot more than this, sir.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.479 align:center
"After a six, the ball went so high,
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.600 align:center
it kissed an air hostess
on its way back down."
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.680 align:center
Commentary became more pleasurable
than the cricket itself.
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.120 align:center
I'm honored, sir.
00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:04.599 align:center
Pankaj bhaiya, you are everywhere.
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.919 align:center
I mean, on OTT and in theaters.
00:15:06.920 --> 00:15:10.320 align:center
- Mirzapur was amazing. Congratulations.
- Yes. Thank you, thank you.
00:15:12.520 --> 00:15:13.960 align:center
Look at the love.
00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:22.240 align:center
I'll cry if you applaud that much.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.200 align:center
I expected you to say, "Music."
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.359 align:center
- Music.
- When you're out in Mumbai--
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.679 align:center
I know, you live in Madh Island.
00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:32.919 align:center
Heading into town,
your huge posters are up.
00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:36.359 align:center
Do you think, "Hey, I'm Pankaj Tripathi"?
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:37.520 align:center
Honestly, I don't.
00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:41.320 align:center
So I'll see a psychologist
to find out why.
00:15:42.880 --> 00:15:45.039 align:center
Seriously, it's an issue.
00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:48.080 align:center
Like, "Man, you should feel
something, right?"
00:15:49.160 --> 00:15:51.120 align:center
I've walked so far
toward spiritual liberation.
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.599 align:center
Now, you all know Vikas sir,
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.600 align:center
but I'd like to say it again.
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.840 align:center
BA, MA, LLB, MPhil, PhD.
00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:03.919 align:center
He did all that.
00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:06.519 align:center
Plus, he did a filmmaking course
at FTII Pune.
00:16:06.520 --> 00:16:07.719 align:center
Wow.
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.799 align:center
And with that calm, serious nature,
00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:12.759 align:center
he speaks so well
00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:15.720 align:center
that if someone told him
to become a spiritual guru,
00:16:16.640 --> 00:16:20.200 align:center
all he'd need is enough time
to grow a beard.
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.280 align:center
He's all set otherwise.
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:26.039 align:center
Sir, you have so many degrees.
00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:29.239 align:center
Normally, if people can't get a job,
they study more.
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.559 align:center
Or if they can't get married,
they study more.
00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:33.639 align:center
- That wasn't the case with you.
- Yes.
00:16:33.640 --> 00:16:37.639 align:center
So, what kind of bliss
were you chasing with all these degrees?
00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:40.439 align:center
No, I just felt like studying
new subjects,
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.359 align:center
so I kept doing many things.
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:43.519 align:center
In Mirzapur, I have a line.
00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:46.119 align:center
"I started because I had to,
but eventually, I started enjoying it."
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:46.960 align:center
Yes, yes.
00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:53.279 align:center
Besides, degrees mean nothing.
00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:55.479 align:center
Degrees are just for show.
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.760 align:center
You can be just as wise without one.
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.279 align:center
A famous couplet goes,
00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:03.720 align:center
"Degrees are receipts
for what you've learned."
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.199 align:center
"True knowledge lives in your character."
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.560 align:center
- Oh, wonderful!
- Wow.
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.598 align:center
Wow!
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.078 align:center
If it shows in your character,
why need a degree?
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.879 align:center
- So--
- So you didn't even get a single degree.
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.440 align:center
Had you heard that couplet before?
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:22.679 align:center
What kind of bliss were you chasing
that you didn't even get one degree?
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:23.919 align:center
I passed 12th grade.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.479 align:center
Let's start there.
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.160 align:center
For the record,
we don't call that a degree.
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.318 align:center
Because if someone is as educated as I am,
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:34.760 align:center
I don't consider them educated at all.
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:41.159 align:center
I felt like studying wasn't really--
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.040 align:center
I was stuck.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.639 align:center
When I got to college,
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.359 align:center
people told me they read other books too.
00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:47.279 align:center
Other?
00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:49.440 align:center
- Like, ones not on the syllabus.
- Okay, got it.
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.119 align:center
A girl asked me freshman year,
"What kind of books do you read?"
00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:54.039 align:center
I said, "Textbooks."
00:17:54.040 --> 00:17:55.479 align:center
I wanted to be an RJ.
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.159 align:center
- I knew I spoke well…
- I see.
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.439 align:center
…and if you're not that good-looking,
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.720 align:center
- you figure radio is the right medium.
- Okay.
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.400 align:center
I was confident I could kill it
with my voice.
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.999 align:center
I thought, why would I
need a degree for that?
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.759 align:center
So I went to Delhi for a course.
00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:11.199 align:center
Once I finished it
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.999 align:center
and first applied for a job,
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.160 align:center
they asked, "Where's your degree?"
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.560 align:center
I said, "I dropped out!"
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.479 align:center
He said, "No, you need a degree here too."
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.839 align:center
- Really?
- Luckily for me,
00:18:22.840 --> 00:18:25.959 align:center
I had an advanced diploma in sitar.
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:27.199 align:center
Oh, wow.
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.639 align:center
A court order came out saying
that a diploma of this duration
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.959 align:center
- would be equivalent to a degree.
- Yes.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.439 align:center
So, sir, I'm proficient in music.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.480 align:center
- Can you believe it?
- That's amazing!
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.999 align:center
Sir, I just learned today
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.919 align:center
that even to be a radio jockey--
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.919 align:center
- An RJ is an artist too.
- Yes, absolutely.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.839 align:center
Playing with words--
That needs a degree too?
00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:49.519 align:center
Sir, don't you think
00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:52.399 align:center
we have exams
for everything except politics?
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.439 align:center
There should be.
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.080 align:center
- There should be, right?
- Absolutely.
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.639 align:center
Any good country should have one.
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.479 align:center
When someone becomes an MLA or MP,
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.239 align:center
they have no clue what an MP does.
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.359 align:center
That's true.
00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:10.159 align:center
If we taught them public policy
for a year,
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.439 align:center
and at least explained what they could do
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.719 align:center
- and what the Constitution says…
- Right.
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.479 align:center
…they'd definitely do a better job.
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.519 align:center
There's no entry test in politics,
00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:21.439 align:center
but winning a second time
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.239 align:center
- is the real test of character.
- Yes.
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.920 align:center
Unless people trust you,
they won't vote for you.
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.079 align:center
We'd heard that
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.759 align:center
Vikas sir had wanted to get
00:19:33.760 --> 00:19:35.679 align:center
- into politics before.
- I used to.
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.759 align:center
Then you joined the IAS,
and then became an educator.
00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:40.279 align:center
When did you realize
00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:43.920 align:center
that education matters more than politics
for a country's development
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.359 align:center
and needs more focus?
00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:47.679 align:center
I never realized it to the extent
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.719 align:center
- you're describing.
- Okay.
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.680 align:center
Basically--
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.279 align:center
Basically, when I was a student,
I wanted to go into politics.
00:19:54.280 --> 00:19:56.399 align:center
- Okay.
- So I got involved in student politics.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.599 align:center
Then I joined DU specifically
to become DUSU president.
00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:01.959 align:center
Then I'd become an MLA,
then an MP, and eventually a minister.
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.679 align:center
- That was the plan.
- I see.
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.600 align:center
While preparing for the UPSC,
I started enjoying studying much more.
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.399 align:center
So then I lost interest in politics.
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.599 align:center
I study, I teach, and I enjoy it so much,
more than any other work.
00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:16.239 align:center
That's why I'm a very happy man.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.280 align:center
- You do great work, sir.
- I have no regrets.
00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:23.439 align:center
Pankaj bhaiya, once you became popular--
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.159 align:center
I've usually seen
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.839 align:center
many actors in our industry
00:20:26.840 --> 00:20:29.399 align:center
- get approached by their hometowns--
- Yes.
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.439 align:center
Once people see that this guy is popular,
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.719 align:center
some party always asks him
to run for office.
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:36.479 align:center
- Yes.
- Did nobody ever ask you?
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.919 align:center
- Someone asked me once.
- And?
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.319 align:center
Yeah. So I said,
00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:42.639 align:center
"I'm not interested," just like him.
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.319 align:center
"My acting shop is running just fine."
00:20:45.320 --> 00:20:47.439 align:center
"Why do you want to shut it down?"
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.519 align:center
No, ma'am, it's a massive responsibility.
00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:51.879 align:center
Serving the public is serious business.
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.159 align:center
- True.
- It isn't easy.
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.159 align:center
Pankaj sahab,
I want to ask you a question.
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.159 align:center
Sure, sir. Please.
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.760 align:center
There was this belief that,
in cinema, big dynasties
00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:02.839 align:center
would last for generations.
00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:06.959 align:center
In cricket, having a great dad
doesn't mean his son will be great.
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.280 align:center
But in films, it was a huge advantage.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.759 align:center
Then people like you came along,
00:21:12.760 --> 00:21:14.280 align:center
from small towns,
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.879 align:center
giving wings to the common man's dreams
and making it big.
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.559 align:center
Don't you think OTT
played a huge part in that?
00:21:22.560 --> 00:21:23.959 align:center
Absolutely, sir. I agree.
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.320 align:center
In fact, the audience sitting before us,
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.319 align:center
the four of us on stage,
and the two of you in those chairs,
00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:32.759 align:center
- we all come from humble families.
- Absolutely.
00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:37.999 align:center
Yet in this democratic space,
we got opportunities, worked hard,
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:40.520 align:center
earned our place,
and now we're sitting here preaching.
00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:47.439 align:center
So we're not just doing a show today.
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.079 align:center
We're doing a show of possibilities,
00:21:49.080 --> 00:21:52.879 align:center
and this possibility exists
in every kid in every state.
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.879 align:center
And of course, as new mediums emerge,
new opportunities open up.
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.799 align:center
When TV came along, Kapil paaji came
from Amritsar, and India saw his talent.
00:22:00.800 --> 00:22:04.840 align:center
Then his hard work, effort, IQ,
intelligence, and spirituality…
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.199 align:center
"Spirituality."
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.920 align:center
…got him this far.
00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:11.839 align:center
So this is a show of hope.
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:14.399 align:center
We covered so much today
in one conversation.
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.239 align:center
One thing I want to say,
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.160 align:center
speaking of praise, Zakir…
00:22:18.800 --> 00:22:24.119 align:center
Have you guys seen Zakir's
Papa Yaar on Netflix?
00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:25.240 align:center
Yes!
00:22:25.760 --> 00:22:27.960 align:center
- Zakir, I saw it.
- Brilliant.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.800 align:center
Wonderful.
00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:33.920 align:center
Wow.
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:37.280 align:center
Absolutely incredible.
00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:42.159 align:center
His every line--
You talked about observation.
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.199 align:center
My God, the observation!
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:49.240 align:center
Every family has parents,
but the way he portrayed his parents,
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.719 align:center
we saw our own parents too.
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.719 align:center
I really want to ask you,
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.599 align:center
how much of that is actually
based on your real parents?
00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:59.559 align:center
See, the basic rule of storytelling is
00:22:59.560 --> 00:23:01.999 align:center
that your personal story
must feel universal…
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.239 align:center
- Yes.
-…and universal stories
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.199 align:center
must feel personal.
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.559 align:center
Then, you hit the nail on the head.
00:23:06.560 --> 00:23:07.520 align:center
Well said.
00:23:10.320 --> 00:23:12.520 align:center
What can I say? They're here, so…
00:23:13.320 --> 00:23:14.400 align:center
They're sitting right here.
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.879 align:center
- Oh, wow! Greetings.
- Oh, my God!
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.759 align:center
Zakir bhai's father and mother.
00:23:19.760 --> 00:23:20.760 align:center
A warm welcome.
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.679 align:center
What is it, Papa?
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:25.440 align:center
Your mom's right there. What will he say?
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.199 align:center
Tell me, Zakir bhai,
since we're on your stand-up,
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.599 align:center
when a dad becomes a buddy,
are there pros or cons?
00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:37.120 align:center
Trust me, it's only downsides.
00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:40.959 align:center
I've toured with this show
for over two years,
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:46.239 align:center
so I've met and spoken to so many sons,
daughters, and their parents.
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.559 align:center
And I realized that, you know--
When I named this show,
00:23:48.560 --> 00:23:51.119 align:center
I called it Papa Yaar because you
can't say the two words together.
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:53.519 align:center
He asks, "Why are you going out so late?"
00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:56.119 align:center
You say, "Papa, yaar, everyone's going."
He snaps, "Am I your buddy?"
00:23:56.120 --> 00:23:58.239 align:center
- And the whole topic changes.
- In our day, yes.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.519 align:center
- Now it's okay.
- Now even my dad says that.
00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:01.879 align:center
My dad's an introvert.
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.839 align:center
He speaks in very few words.
00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:07.759 align:center
In crowds, he barely speaks at all.
00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:09.239 align:center
He always regretted that--
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.319 align:center
Dads use fewer words with their kids,
but open up to their moms.
00:24:12.320 --> 00:24:14.440 align:center
No, even there, my mom does the talking.
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.919 align:center
He felt that, being an introvert,
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:20.919 align:center
he didn't get as far,
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.520 align:center
- or get the chances he could have.
- Right.
00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:26.960 align:center
He channeled his regret into preparing me
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:28.999 align:center
so his son could speak.
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.080 align:center
I can say I worked hard, and I did,
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.600 align:center
- but he planted the seed. And that is why…
- Well said.
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.479 align:center
See, I don't know
who's seen God and who hasn't.
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.199 align:center
But if God exists on Earth in any form,
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.559 align:center
rejoicing in seeing
their child surpass them,
00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:47.440 align:center
it's your parents.
00:24:50.840 --> 00:24:54.479 align:center
Pankaj, did your father ever hit you?
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.639 align:center
- No, never. Not a single slap.
- Never?
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.399 align:center
- Never in my whole life.
- Wow.
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.799 align:center
And your mom?
00:24:59.800 --> 00:25:01.159 align:center
Mom hit me once or twice,
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.279 align:center
- but I'd dodge her.
- Okay.
00:25:03.280 --> 00:25:05.879 align:center
I'd walk around the house
in shorts in the evening,
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.119 align:center
wanting to go out and play,
but she'd say no.
00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:11.199 align:center
So I'd walk around bare-chested
in just my shorts,
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.240 align:center
humming and pretending I'd stay home.
00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:18.520 align:center
I'd throw a shirt or T-shirt
out the back window,
00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:20.799 align:center
then casually sneak out.
00:25:20.800 --> 00:25:24.199 align:center
She figured I wouldn't
go out shirtless to play.
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.840 align:center
I'd go around back,
put it on, and disappear.
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.079 align:center
Kapil, did your parents ever beat you?
00:25:33.080 --> 00:25:36.040 align:center
I remember it happening twice.
I don't remember the rest.
00:25:37.560 --> 00:25:39.479 align:center
You only remember these things
when you grow up.
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.919 align:center
Obviously, it was my fault.
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.719 align:center
But I'd like to say one thing.
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:46.559 align:center
If your dad teaches you something,
just learn it quietly.
00:25:46.560 --> 00:25:48.999 align:center
Because if the world teaches you that,
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.239 align:center
- it costs a lot more.
- Yes.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:51.599 align:center
- Spot on.
- Believe me.
00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:53.720 align:center
I mean, learn what you can.
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.239 align:center
A beating from your father
might sting a bit,
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.239 align:center
but a mother's beating never hurts.
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.720 align:center
A mother's beating doesn't hurt a father,
let alone a child!
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:08.520 align:center
Well…
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.839 align:center
Mom talks to us as if…
00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:14.359 align:center
"What would Papa say if he found out?"
00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:18.240 align:center
She talks to us
as if they don't talk to each other.
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.039 align:center
Even though there's nothing
00:26:23.040 --> 00:26:24.199 align:center
- they don't discuss.
- Exactly.
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.199 align:center
- Like they wouldn't tell.
- Yes.
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.999 align:center
I just want to say,
trust whoever you want,
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:30.000 align:center
not your mom.
00:26:32.520 --> 00:26:34.600 align:center
Especially if you want to keep
something from your dad.
00:26:44.840 --> 00:26:45.680 align:center
Vajpayee!
00:26:51.560 --> 00:26:52.440 align:center
Oh, man!
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.320 align:center
Incredible.
00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.280 align:center
Oh, man!
00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:09.200 align:center
Greetings to you all.
00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:12.320 align:center
Oh, my God!
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.200 align:center
Oh, my God.
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:16.639 align:center
Unbelievable.
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.199 align:center
I'm here today to talk about Pankaj ji.
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.760 align:center
Oh, sir. Greetings.
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.520 align:center
Brothers, sisters, and Gen Z.
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:30.320 align:center
Our beloved Pankaj ji.
00:27:31.520 --> 00:27:34.000 align:center
- He brings any character to life.
- Wow.
00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:37.440 align:center
And I stand before you
as living proof of that.
00:27:40.840 --> 00:27:43.159 align:center
I am Saral Bihari Vajpayee.
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.519 align:center
- Saral?
- Wow, wow.
00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:47.200 align:center
- Nice one!
- How are you saral?
00:27:48.040 --> 00:27:52.879 align:center
I praise Pankaj ji
for the pinnacle of his acting
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.279 align:center
- and congratulate him on it.
- Wow.
00:27:54.280 --> 00:27:56.000 align:center
Wow. Incredible.
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.600 align:center
He looks like such a polite guy,
00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:04.279 align:center
but through acting, he becomes
Kaleen Bhaiya.
00:28:04.280 --> 00:28:05.320 align:center
Wow!
00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:09.960 align:center
- Too good!
- Wow!
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.719 align:center
This is the era of Vikas.
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.359 align:center
- Wow.
- Incredible.
00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.840 align:center
Vikas ji doesn't come alone.
00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:19.679 align:center
Divya and Kirti always come with him.
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:20.600 align:center
All three.
00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:25.440 align:center
Opportunities don't come to him.
00:28:26.040 --> 00:28:28.559 align:center
Students come and leave as officers.
00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.560 align:center
Well said.
00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:34.680 align:center
The guys at the back.
00:28:35.560 --> 00:28:38.719 align:center
And he's not the only one
who motivates us.
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:40.600 align:center
Our Zakir bhai does, too.
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:43.320 align:center
But the best thing is,
00:28:44.040 --> 00:28:45.559 align:center
he made people laugh.
00:28:45.560 --> 00:28:46.679 align:center
- Yes.
- Very good.
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.719 align:center
- He cheered them up.
- Nice.
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.559 align:center
Since I'm here today,
I thought I'd launch a book.
00:28:52.560 --> 00:28:53.680 align:center
Sure.
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.439 align:center
- This book is titled Saral Kavita.
- Okay.
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:07.759 align:center
Now, don't ask me
to recite something from it.
00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:09.959 align:center
- Recite it, recite it!
- Yes, please.
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.440 align:center
- Recite it, recite it!
- Yes, yes.
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.720 align:center
Let's hear it!
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.360 align:center
I'll recite a few poems for you.
00:29:21.040 --> 00:29:25.600 align:center
It's about the things
that have been bothering me lately.
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.760 align:center
"They're hooked,
they're hooked, they're hooked."
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:35.199 align:center
"Not on smoking, not on drinking."
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.839 align:center
"People are hooked on Instagram
Watching reels!"
00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:40.000 align:center
Wow.
00:29:42.520 --> 00:29:46.399 align:center
- They're hooked! That's so true.
- Wow.
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:48.079 align:center
This is for today's youth.
00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:49.319 align:center
Today's youth,
00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:52.479 align:center
who won't bow to their parents,
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.119 align:center
bow to their phones instead.
00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:55.400 align:center
Yes.
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.480 align:center
"Screen time has taken over sleep time."
00:30:00.360 --> 00:30:02.239 align:center
"School starts at six in the morning,
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.680 align:center
but the son is up
Until 3:00 a.m. scrolling through Meta."
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:07.800 align:center
"Meta."
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.280 align:center
"But the son is up
scrolling through Meta."
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:13.999 align:center
"AG, OG, hey, listen up."
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.959 align:center
"Instead of touching Dadu's feet
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.720 align:center
the pota sends him an emoji."
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.400 align:center
- "Dadu is no less."
- Incredible.
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:28.519 align:center
"At 90, he's asking ChatGPT,
00:30:28.520 --> 00:30:30.640 align:center
'How did I look in my 80s?'"
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.120 align:center
Wow! Incredible!
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.359 align:center
- Another short poem is titled--
- Yes, please.
00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:42.719 align:center
- Let's hear it, please.
- Go ahead.
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.639 align:center
If time allows.
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:44.919 align:center
- Yes.
- Yeah.
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:46.400 align:center
"Sensor faucets."
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.079 align:center
Sensor faucets.
Put your hands under, and the water flows.
00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:52.799 align:center
"Once, the stairs stood still,
and people climbed."
00:30:52.800 --> 00:30:53.719 align:center
Wow!
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:55.679 align:center
"Now people stand still,
and stairs climb."
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:58.159 align:center
- Wow! Nice one!
- Wow!
00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:59.719 align:center
- Incredible.
- Wow!
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.679 align:center
- What a thought!
- Very nice.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.199 align:center
"We used to have manual faucets."
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.279 align:center
Yes.
00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:05.839 align:center
"You'd turn the handle like this,
00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:09.599 align:center
air would hiss out, making a sound."
00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:11.639 align:center
"Then the water would flow."
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.520 align:center
"Now you just put your hands underneath
and the water comes out."
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.920 align:center
"All the time people save at the faucet,
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:25.599 align:center
they spend watching reels."
00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:26.920 align:center
- Yes!
- Incredible.
00:31:29.760 --> 00:31:34.200 align:center
"People spend two hours in the bathroom
on a five-minute job."
00:31:37.800 --> 00:31:40.679 align:center
"Trust me, their stomachs are fine,
they're just scrolling inside."
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.600 align:center
"Scrolling inside."
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:47.999 align:center
- Bitter truth.
- Wow!
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.080 align:center
Wow!
00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:52.640 align:center
Everyone stopped.
Why are you still clapping?
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.120 align:center
I'm making rotis.
00:31:55.760 --> 00:31:57.199 align:center
Making rotis?
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.520 align:center
Right, you're the Food Minister,
after all.
00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:03.559 align:center
I wrote something on food.
00:32:03.560 --> 00:32:05.000 align:center
"Food lost its color…"
00:32:07.760 --> 00:32:10.839 align:center
"Food lost its color.
Red Manchurian turned yellow."
00:32:10.840 --> 00:32:12.040 align:center
Wow!
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:16.120 align:center
"Pink cotton candy lost its hue."
00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:20.160 align:center
"Gourds turned green anew."
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.480 align:center
"Fake eggs were banned from the scene
ever since Tukaram Mundhe came in."
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.600 align:center
Well said!
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:33.360 align:center
I'm proud that today,
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:38.480 align:center
under Archana ji's leadership,
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:41.919 align:center
Joketantra has come into being.
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:42.800 align:center
"Joketantra!"
00:32:44.560 --> 00:32:46.560 align:center
With our respected Sidhu ji's
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.840 align:center
"Thoko Tali" stamp,
00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:52.760 align:center
the joke gets its power.
00:32:55.080 --> 00:32:56.400 align:center
Before I leave,
00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:59.640 align:center
I have one last thing to say.
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:02.719 align:center
Here's a poem for Archana ji.
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.000 align:center
Oh, wow!
00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:10.200 align:center
"She acts like a vlogger,
making just one roti at home."
00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:12.840 align:center
"Just so it can make it into the vlog."
00:33:13.520 --> 00:33:16.359 align:center
"The rest is ordered online."
00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:18.919 align:center
"And the time saved by not making rotis…"
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:21.639 align:center
- Is spent scrolling through reels!
- Is spent scrolling through reels!
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.840 align:center
That's true!
00:33:25.080 --> 00:33:27.080 align:center
- True!
- Amazing!
00:33:28.040 --> 00:33:29.880 align:center
Sir, please check this.
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.720 align:center
It will make a great reel, sir.
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:36.960 align:center
There's no light on my face.
00:33:40.520 --> 00:33:41.919 align:center
What kind of reel is this?
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:42.839 align:center
Lovely!
00:33:42.840 --> 00:33:44.960 align:center
- If I knew, I'd have used this light.
- Ring light!
00:33:51.080 --> 00:33:52.839 align:center
You did all this for a reel?
00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:54.920 align:center
No, Kapil ji. No, Sidhu ji.
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.000 align:center
To break the habit of watching reels,
00:33:59.120 --> 00:34:01.600 align:center
- you have to make a video…
- Wow!
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:04.119 align:center
- Amazing!
-…and turn it into a reel,
00:34:04.120 --> 00:34:05.959 align:center
because that's all people watch!
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.319 align:center
Well said.
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:09.719 align:center
That's how you finally
break free from reels.
00:34:09.720 --> 00:34:10.760 align:center
- Brilliant.
- Wow.
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.198 align:center
Only a diamond can cut a diamond.
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:14.040 align:center
Bravo!
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.840 align:center
Before I leave, I'll just say…
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:22.840 align:center
"Stay away from the rat race
00:34:24.120 --> 00:34:26.040 align:center
that everyone calls a trend."
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.119 align:center
"There's no winner in this race,
00:34:30.120 --> 00:34:32.119 align:center
we all get tired in the end."
00:34:32.120 --> 00:34:33.199 align:center
Incredible!
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:39.920 align:center
Thank you so much.
00:34:42.080 --> 00:34:43.919 align:center
Carry on with your Joketantra.
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:45.879 align:center
- Thank you, Saral ji. Thank you.
- Lovely!
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:47.920 align:center
- Wow!
- Thank you.
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:01.399 align:center
- He's a genius.
- My God.
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.119 align:center
We've touched on some serious topics now.
00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:07.239 align:center
Sir, we've heard that
00:35:07.240 --> 00:35:08.600 align:center
for the IAS, when you--
00:35:09.200 --> 00:35:12.599 align:center
During the UPSC interview,
they ask some really odd questions.
00:35:12.600 --> 00:35:13.599 align:center
- Tricky questions.
- Yes.
00:35:13.600 --> 00:35:16.720 align:center
We got some weird questions too,
so I wrote them down
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.239 align:center
as they seemed unique.
00:35:19.240 --> 00:35:20.800 align:center
So I want to ask you, sir.
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.720 align:center
If you ask an upset wife what happened,
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:26.680 align:center
and she says, "Nothing,"
00:35:27.640 --> 00:35:30.759 align:center
how do you find out what really happened?
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:33.080 align:center
Well, what I usually do is,
00:35:33.600 --> 00:35:37.399 align:center
- I probe whatever hint there is.
- I see.
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.319 align:center
Or I say, "If it's nothing,
then fine, all is well."
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:41.280 align:center
And I just walk away.
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:43.919 align:center
If you leave, she'll come
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:45.840 align:center
and tell you what it is
within five minutes.
00:35:48.040 --> 00:35:51.000 align:center
Second, if you already know
what the issue is,
00:35:51.640 --> 00:35:54.359 align:center
and she's mad at someone,
start praising that person.
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:55.839 align:center
Yes.
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:59.480 align:center
She'll explode in a few seconds
and tell you everything that happened.
00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:01.239 align:center
Well, that's what I do.
00:36:01.240 --> 00:36:02.879 align:center
- Wonderful.
- To each their own.
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.039 align:center
Bravo!
00:36:04.040 --> 00:36:06.239 align:center
Zakir bhai doesn't seem
to have experienced that.
00:36:06.240 --> 00:36:08.639 align:center
I lack the title of marriage,
but I've tasted its true essence.
00:36:08.640 --> 00:36:10.240 align:center
Wow! Wow!
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.079 align:center
The question is about the experience!
00:36:15.080 --> 00:36:18.519 align:center
- Answer the question.
- If she says nothing,
00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:21.279 align:center
then I-- Well, I don't have
as much experience as he does.
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:22.919 align:center
So, I just ask, "What happened?"
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.119 align:center
You just have to soften them up a bit.
"Baby, what's wrong? Please tell me."
00:36:26.120 --> 00:36:27.439 align:center
"Sorry."
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.799 align:center
A man should start apologizing early.
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:31.999 align:center
"No, it's my fault. I won't do it again."
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:35.119 align:center
Then comes a new trick.
Not sure if you've experienced this.
00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:37.359 align:center
- "Don't you know what happened?"
- Exactly. That's…
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.599 align:center
I don't even know what day today is!
00:36:39.600 --> 00:36:42.799 align:center
What are you saying?
Papa would ask-- He's sitting here.
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:44.559 align:center
He's been asking me since seventh grade,
00:36:44.560 --> 00:36:46.240 align:center
"Have you thought about your future?"
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:49.680 align:center
I haven't even planned tonight!
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.199 align:center
- How can I plan my life?
- Does he still ask?
00:36:54.200 --> 00:36:57.279 align:center
My father really regrets
that I didn't learn to play the sitar.
00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.239 align:center
"Learning the sitar would've been better."
00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:00.679 align:center
So when I got back
00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:03.119 align:center
- from my big, famous tour in the US…
- Did you play the sitar?
00:37:03.120 --> 00:37:05.559 align:center
…there was a sitar at home,
so I picked it up.
00:37:05.560 --> 00:37:07.439 align:center
Papa was shaving.
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.880 align:center
He stepped out of the bathroom and said,
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.399 align:center
"You're so talented."
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:14.920 align:center
"Had you done a proper job,
you'd have achieved global recognition."
00:37:17.640 --> 00:37:18.760 align:center
I mean…
00:37:19.640 --> 00:37:22.919 align:center
Man, when you do stand-up,
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.319 align:center
play the sitar someday too.
People would love it. It's like a bonus.
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:29.119 align:center
I'm just scared of him, man!
Otherwise, I'd gladly do it.
00:37:29.120 --> 00:37:31.479 align:center
I stayed away from performing
in Indore for ages,
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.479 align:center
scared he might scold me in public.
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.800 align:center
Like, "Look at Khan sahab's son,
cracking jokes!"
00:37:37.600 --> 00:37:39.399 align:center
You know what, though?
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:41.239 align:center
Whenever I perform in Indore
00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:43.159 align:center
and they put up billboards,
00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:45.519 align:center
my name is never on them.
00:37:45.520 --> 00:37:48.119 align:center
They always say,
"Khan sahab's son." Because…
00:37:48.120 --> 00:37:49.720 align:center
- How sweet.
- My God!
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.319 align:center
Because, in that city,
I don't think I can ever surpass him.
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.759 align:center
That's my identity. People just ask,
"Is he Khan sir's son?"
00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:59.879 align:center
So whenever I do a show there,
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:02.720 align:center
- it's never Zakir Khan--
- Man, that's a compliment for him.
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.080 align:center
When a son is known by his father,
you know the father is truly great, boss!
00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:09.080 align:center
Well, he--
00:38:11.160 --> 00:38:14.040 align:center
Now, I have a question
for Tripathi ji's son.
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.599 align:center
Sir, after talking for hours on end,
00:38:17.600 --> 00:38:20.759 align:center
when someone asks, "What else?"
what do you even say?
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.360 align:center
Just assume they want your OTP.
00:38:27.520 --> 00:38:30.320 align:center
They probably want
your OTP and phone passcode.
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:35.720 align:center
Yeah, hang up right away.
There's nothing left to discuss.
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:41.239 align:center
Sir, we have a tradition
for our audience members.
00:38:41.240 --> 00:38:43.199 align:center
We give them a chance
00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:45.879 align:center
to connect with the stars
they admire and speak with them.
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.759 align:center
- Yes, brother.
- Hello, everyone. I'm Aditya.
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.039 align:center
Sir, I have an issue in my life.
00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:54.839 align:center
I can't seem to stay in one job for long.
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.959 align:center
I studied computer engineering.
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.439 align:center
- I see.
- Now I'm working in the food industry.
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.399 align:center
I also like gaming.
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:06.959 align:center
I mean, I just can't seem
to decide what I want to do with my life.
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.560 align:center
Can you do embroidery work on dupattas?
00:39:10.040 --> 00:39:12.999 align:center
Don't look at me when saying that.
Ask him instead.
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.680 align:center
I'm a confused man myself.
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.000 align:center
I still haven't figured out what to do.
00:39:18.640 --> 00:39:22.039 align:center
Ahmad Faraz was a poet.
One of his lines is very fitting.
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:23.519 align:center
Yes, sir.
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:25.520 align:center
"Some found their destination
the moment they set out,
00:39:26.040 --> 00:39:28.319 align:center
while some, like us,
journeyed on for a lifetime."
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.320 align:center
- Wow.
- Beautiful.
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.840 align:center
The way I see it,
you should try something for a while
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.759 align:center
and see if you truly enjoy it.
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:42.319 align:center
Figure out what you want
within a year or so,
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.079 align:center
or life will pass you by.
00:39:44.080 --> 00:39:47.319 align:center
- Thank you.
- Try pranayama and clear your head.
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:50.560 align:center
What if one day you're married
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.159 align:center
and out with your wife,
00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:54.400 align:center
and then you see someone else's…
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:59.359 align:center
Get it? Don't let it get to that level.
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:01.119 align:center
- I have an answer too.
- Yes.
00:40:01.120 --> 00:40:02.919 align:center
Do you have a girlfriend?
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:04.639 align:center
No, not right now. Sorry.
00:40:04.640 --> 00:40:07.159 align:center
Find someone.
You'll date for two or three years,
00:40:07.160 --> 00:40:08.679 align:center
then the marriage talk starts.
00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:10.999 align:center
She'll ask you
what she should tell her family.
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:12.479 align:center
Okay?
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:14.760 align:center
The pressure will be such
that you'll gain clarity instantly.
00:40:20.120 --> 00:40:22.639 align:center
Pankaj ji, were you confused
before getting into acting?
00:40:22.640 --> 00:40:24.719 align:center
- No. No--
- In your student days?
00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:27.639 align:center
- I wanted to be a student leader too.
- I see.
00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:30.639 align:center
The police beat me so badly,
I changed my mind that very day.
00:40:30.640 --> 00:40:31.640 align:center
I knew
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:33.799 align:center
there was beating involved.
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.599 align:center
So-- I even worked at a hotel
for two years.
00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:40.240 align:center
While peeling onions and potatoes,
I felt my destiny lay elsewhere.
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:42.919 align:center
Eventually, I got into acting.
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.920 align:center
So, these things happen.
It's natural. Let it take its course.
00:40:46.640 --> 00:40:48.239 align:center
Thank you, sir.
00:40:48.240 --> 00:40:50.039 align:center
- Thank you. Anyone else?
- Thank you.
00:40:50.040 --> 00:40:50.920 align:center
Yes, brother.
00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:53.239 align:center
- Hello, everyone. Hi, Kapil sir.
- Hello.
00:40:53.240 --> 00:40:55.160 align:center
- Hello, sir. Am I not among "everyone"?
- My name--
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:58.319 align:center
- My name is Hitesh.
- Yes, Hitesh. Welcome.
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.759 align:center
At home, whenever I ask or suggest
doing something, they say,
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:02.959 align:center
"Not right now."
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:06.799 align:center
If I ask them to buy me a phone, they say,
"No. Earn it and save it."
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.559 align:center
At your age, you're still
asking your family for a phone?
00:41:09.560 --> 00:41:11.120 align:center
- Or if I ever--
- They're totally right.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:16.559 align:center
Or if I say, "Let's buy this car,"
they'll say, "No, not now."
00:41:16.560 --> 00:41:17.959 align:center
"Save your money."
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:21.239 align:center
So the question is,
what's our biggest enemy?
00:41:21.240 --> 00:41:22.759 align:center
Money or our desires?
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:24.680 align:center
You're your family's biggest enemy.
00:41:25.720 --> 00:41:27.160 align:center
Sitting around…
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:30.879 align:center
Sitting around, making demands!
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.039 align:center
No, sir. I'm involved
in our family business too.
00:41:34.040 --> 00:41:36.799 align:center
But whenever I bring up spending money,
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:38.679 align:center
they refuse to hear me out.
00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:40.799 align:center
- It's all part of the family business.
- Yes, correct.
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:42.519 align:center
They built it all up.
00:41:42.520 --> 00:41:43.840 align:center
They…
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.240 align:center
They let him sit there.
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.039 align:center
What's your family business?
00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:51.679 align:center
We're in the wholesale footwear business.
00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:53.800 align:center
Did your dad ever hurl footwear at you?
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:58.359 align:center
It hasn't come to that.
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.040 align:center
Keep making such demands,
and it'll happen soon.
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:04.999 align:center
Thank you for coming, Hitesh. Anyone else?
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.919 align:center
- Hi, sir. Everyone.
- Hello.
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:08.319 align:center
My name is Avishkar Singh.
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:09.719 align:center
Your name is "Avishkar"?
00:42:09.720 --> 00:42:10.719 align:center
- Lovely name.
- Yes, sir.
00:42:10.720 --> 00:42:12.999 align:center
- Never heard that one. That's new.
- Me too.
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:14.480 align:center
So, were you born, or…
00:42:18.600 --> 00:42:22.199 align:center
I have a question for all of you,
especially Vikas sir.
00:42:22.200 --> 00:42:23.679 align:center
You've given so many lectures.
00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:25.119 align:center
I have one question for you.
00:42:25.120 --> 00:42:28.959 align:center
As Zakir bhai said, if you want
some clarity in life, get a girlfriend.
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.399 align:center
So, sir, how many attempts do we get
to find a girlfriend,
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.920 align:center
and when should we leave it
to our parents?
00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:39.199 align:center
I seriously think you need
one or two breakups.
00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:42.279 align:center
- The maturity that comes after a breakup…
- Yeah.
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:44.239 align:center
…will make the next one work.
00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:45.639 align:center
Absolutely.
00:42:45.640 --> 00:42:48.759 align:center
And how many attempts
before we finally leave it to our parents?
00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:50.639 align:center
After once or twice.
00:42:50.640 --> 00:42:52.839 align:center
No, sir, that's just not true.
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:54.920 align:center
- Is it because your parents are here?
- No, no.
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:58.879 align:center
No, no.
A lot of my friends talk about this.
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.359 align:center
They think we completely failed
in terms of skill. Okay?
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:04.959 align:center
- Sure…
- Maybe our parents can find the one.
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.599 align:center
- Yeah.
- Our communication is bad anyway.
00:43:07.600 --> 00:43:10.599 align:center
Sir made a good point.
You need one or two breakups.
00:43:10.600 --> 00:43:15.080 align:center
After that, you become a lot wiser
and get more clarity. But just one or two!
00:43:16.040 --> 00:43:17.639 align:center
Or your parents will take care of it.
00:43:17.640 --> 00:43:19.039 align:center
- That's for sure.
- Yes.
00:43:19.040 --> 00:43:20.639 align:center
What if your parents are relying on you?
00:43:20.640 --> 00:43:21.760 align:center
And you are?
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.320 align:center
- Come on.
- Come on. Give ma'am a mic too, please.
00:43:31.040 --> 00:43:33.639 align:center
- Are you married?
- Yes. I'm here with my father-in-law.
00:43:33.640 --> 00:43:35.760 align:center
Father-in-law? Your husband didn't come?
00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:39.720 align:center
Did your husband find you,
or did his parents find you?
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.920 align:center
- Mic, mic!
- Turn on her mic, sir.
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.440 align:center
Who's the guy fixing your mic?
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:48.480 align:center
Your in-laws' son?
00:43:50.040 --> 00:43:52.279 align:center
- Who is he?
- No.
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:53.479 align:center
She came with him.
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:54.720 align:center
Why hold onto her?
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.279 align:center
If a guy's mic broke, he wouldn't care.
But he's all eyes for her!
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:02.839 align:center
Yes, ma'am, go ahead.
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:04.399 align:center
It's a very family-oriented setting.
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.159 align:center
We talked, and I found out
he's in the sari business.
00:44:07.160 --> 00:44:08.520 align:center
And yet he wore a T-shirt.
00:44:14.600 --> 00:44:16.799 align:center
So you made friends sitting here.
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:18.119 align:center
- We are.
- Yes.
00:44:18.120 --> 00:44:19.519 align:center
So give him some wisdom.
00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:22.759 align:center
At a certain age, you realize
parents depend on you too.
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.159 align:center
Did you marry for love?
00:44:24.160 --> 00:44:26.279 align:center
- Yes, it's a love marriage.
- I see.
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:30.239 align:center
We were smart. We found out early.
You figure it out between 24 and 28.
00:44:30.240 --> 00:44:32.519 align:center
Bhaisahab, how old are you?
00:44:32.520 --> 00:44:34.679 align:center
- Twenty-three.
- You're just 23?
00:44:34.680 --> 00:44:36.999 align:center
- Is 24 the theme lately?
- Hitesh, what do you do?
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.839 align:center
- I work as cabin crew.
- I see.
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:41.519 align:center
Kapil ji, I have something to say too.
00:44:41.520 --> 00:44:42.599 align:center
Yes?
00:44:42.600 --> 00:44:44.160 align:center
Give ma'am a mic too.
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:46.479 align:center
- Hello, Kapil ji. Namaste.
- Hello.
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:47.719 align:center
I'm cabin crew.
00:44:47.720 --> 00:44:49.279 align:center
Cabin crew? Are you with him?
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:50.400 align:center
No, no.
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.960 align:center
Kapil, send a mic there! Sparks might fly.
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:58.640 align:center
Oh! Hold on a second!
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:04.159 align:center
- What's your name?
- My name's Anjali.
00:45:04.160 --> 00:45:06.199 align:center
- Hi, Anjali. How are you?
- Anjali, from Mumbai.
00:45:06.200 --> 00:45:07.719 align:center
I'm good. How are you?
00:45:07.720 --> 00:45:11.079 align:center
Okay, so, Anjali, he's cabin crew too.
00:45:11.080 --> 00:45:12.559 align:center
Yes.
00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:14.560 align:center
Look, the guy's unique. He's an invention!
00:45:17.040 --> 00:45:18.480 align:center
So, do you like him?
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.880 align:center
- Well…
- He's desperate enough to say yes.
00:45:26.680 --> 00:45:28.640 align:center
- Do you like him?
- Oh, man!
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:32.920 align:center
Now ask him.
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:39.879 align:center
The boy's opinion matters.
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:41.279 align:center
She has great values.
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:43.720 align:center
- Absolutely, sir.
- She just said, "Now ask him."
00:45:45.720 --> 00:45:48.639 align:center
- She's nice, sir.
- Marrying him will be so confusing.
00:45:48.640 --> 00:45:50.479 align:center
Imagine having guests,
and she goes, "Avishkar!"
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.720 align:center
The guests will say, "Not invented yet?"
00:45:57.200 --> 00:45:58.920 align:center
So, is that a yes from you?
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:01.639 align:center
Yes, sure.
00:46:01.640 --> 00:46:03.960 align:center
Zakir bhai, you gave me this idea.
I'm starting a new business.
00:46:05.120 --> 00:46:06.800 align:center
We do matchmaking here too.
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.040 align:center
- So, is it a yes?
- Zakir bhai, what do I say?
00:46:10.640 --> 00:46:12.720 align:center
You were so eager just a moment ago.
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.400 align:center
And now-- Zakir bhai
can't even get anyone himself!
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:22.839 align:center
Look, your decision may be right or wrong,
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:24.640 align:center
but your situation screams yes.
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:30.959 align:center
Thank you both so much.
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:32.439 align:center
Anyone else?
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:35.680 align:center
- Hello, sir. I'm Anuj Kishore Brahman.
- Hello. Okay.
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:39.199 align:center
Sir, we're all final-year MBBS students.
00:46:39.200 --> 00:46:41.959 align:center
- Wow, we have doctors here!
- So, sir, the thing with us is--
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:44.039 align:center
- Educated people are our fans! Awesome!
- Doctors.
00:46:44.040 --> 00:46:45.719 align:center
Huge fans, sir! Really!
00:46:45.720 --> 00:46:48.479 align:center
- Go ahead.
- The thing is, sir, in our profession,
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.999 align:center
even if we study for the next ten years,
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.239 align:center
we still can't reach the very top.
00:46:53.240 --> 00:46:56.519 align:center
And by the time we joined this field,
00:46:56.520 --> 00:46:58.239 align:center
the market got saturated.
00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:02.559 align:center
You know, when doctors say
their profession is in crisis,
00:47:02.560 --> 00:47:04.159 align:center
that's actually good news for us!
00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:06.519 align:center
- No…
- It means everyone's healthy.
00:47:06.520 --> 00:47:09.759 align:center
Genuinely, sir. The thing is,
you set up an OPD, then you go there--
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:11.599 align:center
It'll be like this for ten years.
00:47:11.600 --> 00:47:13.519 align:center
Meanwhile, we have other friends
00:47:13.520 --> 00:47:16.239 align:center
who make and post reels, get subscribers,
00:47:16.240 --> 00:47:18.519 align:center
get collabs, brand deals,
00:47:18.520 --> 00:47:20.999 align:center
and make so much money,
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.919 align:center
while even with quality education,
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.599 align:center
we'll spend ten years wondering
what to do.
00:47:26.600 --> 00:47:29.359 align:center
MBBS students are getting confused
by influencers.
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.999 align:center
Look, not every influencer makes it.
Not every piece of content works.
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:36.239 align:center
It's tough there too.
Zakir bhai started out on YouTube,
00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:37.679 align:center
so he can explain it better to you.
00:47:37.680 --> 00:47:41.079 align:center
The people you know in this field
don't necessarily make a lot of money.
00:47:41.080 --> 00:47:42.599 align:center
You must have seen so many.
00:47:42.600 --> 00:47:44.999 align:center
The influencers you followed in 2015,
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.719 align:center
you probably didn't see by 2024.
00:47:46.720 --> 00:47:48.719 align:center
- Yes.
- Yes. They faded away with the trend.
00:47:48.720 --> 00:47:50.079 align:center
That's the reality of that job.
00:47:50.080 --> 00:47:53.639 align:center
People in this field
have a very high dropout rate.
00:47:53.640 --> 00:47:56.279 align:center
- Yes.
- You only remember those who made it.
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:58.799 align:center
At the same time,
plenty of unknown doctors are thriving.
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:00.719 align:center
- Right, sir.
- It's actually counterproductive.
00:48:00.720 --> 00:48:04.199 align:center
Every path has its bumps.
It just looks smooth from where you stand.
00:48:04.200 --> 00:48:06.039 align:center
The grass is always greener
on the other side.
00:48:06.040 --> 00:48:07.440 align:center
When it comes to him…
00:48:08.040 --> 00:48:12.760 align:center
Only one in a thousand becomes a superstar
on social media.
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:15.200 align:center
And…
00:48:17.120 --> 00:48:21.399 align:center
And there's a special satisfaction
that comes from saving a life as a doctor.
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:22.359 align:center
Yes, sir, that's true.
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:26.479 align:center
We can say we brightened
someone's hour or made their day.
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:29.119 align:center
But saving a life? That is
a satisfaction only you can understand.
00:48:29.120 --> 00:48:30.440 align:center
Only if you actually save one.
00:48:32.120 --> 00:48:33.800 align:center
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.319 align:center
I used to think--
Actually, someone told me
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:40.119 align:center
that shows like Kapil's
are entirely scripted.
00:48:40.120 --> 00:48:41.079 align:center
It's all written.
00:48:41.080 --> 00:48:43.439 align:center
- No way.
- Guests get a script beforehand,
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.039 align:center
which they have to follow word for word.
00:48:45.040 --> 00:48:47.639 align:center
When I got invited,
I thought I'd have to memorize a lot.
00:48:47.640 --> 00:48:50.159 align:center
- Okay.
- Until yesterday, nobody sent me anything.
00:48:50.160 --> 00:48:51.519 align:center
- I see.
- So I asked the team--
00:48:51.520 --> 00:48:53.919 align:center
Until yesterday, even we had no idea
what we were going to do.
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.959 align:center
Today I nervously asked,
"Is there a script?"
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:00.079 align:center
That's when I found out
it's all done on the spot.
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:03.079 align:center
- Indeed, sir.
- You've got incredible wit, honestly.
00:49:03.080 --> 00:49:04.679 align:center
- Thank you, sir.
- I mean, you're too good.
00:49:04.680 --> 00:49:06.760 align:center
Coming from you, a compliment
means so much to all of us.
00:49:35.600 --> 00:49:37.000 align:center
Pay respect!
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:41.159 align:center
Behold!
00:49:41.160 --> 00:49:43.000 align:center
- Mithun!
- Attention!
00:49:43.600 --> 00:49:44.519 align:center
Mithun!
00:49:44.520 --> 00:49:46.280 align:center
The King of Kings,
00:49:47.080 --> 00:49:49.960 align:center
Emperor Akbar, approaches!
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:56.320 align:center
The one who reached into a lion's mouth
00:49:57.040 --> 00:49:58.680 align:center
and ripped its jaw right out!
00:49:59.560 --> 00:50:03.680 align:center
The mighty and valiant king approaches!
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:06.160 align:center
The one who…
00:50:08.080 --> 00:50:13.239 align:center
defeated his enemies
and raised his royal flag!
00:50:13.240 --> 00:50:17.160 align:center
The mighty and valiant king approaches!
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:20.080 align:center
- The one who--
- Hey, you!
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.040 align:center
I can only come if you let me!
00:50:26.720 --> 00:50:29.999 align:center
It feels like you're stopping me
from arrive-ifying!
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:31.400 align:center
"Arrive-ifying!"
00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:35.359 align:center
Arrive-ify me properly.
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:38.640 align:center
Arrive-ify me, if you will,
or don't arrive-ify me!
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.520 align:center
I apologize for your insolence, Father!
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.560 align:center
Sorry. Please proceed.
00:50:49.120 --> 00:50:51.319 align:center
- Splendid. My lord!
- Oh, boy!
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:52.399 align:center
Yellow shoes too!
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:54.680 align:center
Wow! Magnificent!
00:50:56.680 --> 00:51:00.839 align:center
What place is this, friends?
What kind of court is this?
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:03.599 align:center
- Wow.
- Whose realm have we entered, Prince?
00:51:03.600 --> 00:51:06.079 align:center
This is the Sultanate of Netflix!
00:51:06.080 --> 00:51:07.480 align:center
- Tu-dum!
- Yes.
00:51:10.200 --> 00:51:11.119 align:center
Tu-dum!
00:51:11.120 --> 00:51:13.720 align:center
And here, a grand court is convened
00:51:14.680 --> 00:51:17.320 align:center
for The Great Indian Kapil Show.
00:51:18.680 --> 00:51:21.879 align:center
- The Great Indian Kapil Show.
- Yes!
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:23.920 align:center
This handsome lad sitting here,
00:51:25.240 --> 00:51:28.319 align:center
he invites legends here
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.120 align:center
and engages in conversations with them.
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:34.039 align:center
So you converse.
00:51:34.040 --> 00:51:35.760 align:center
- Yes.
- Then what do they do?
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.240 align:center
They just go "hoo-hoo-hoo" to that.
00:51:47.560 --> 00:51:48.400 align:center
Wow!
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:52.799 align:center
Splendid, splendid!
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:54.160 align:center
Carry on, carry on.
00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:58.519 align:center
Anyway, I can see
many guests have arrived here.
00:51:58.520 --> 00:52:00.479 align:center
- Yes!
- Introduce me to them.
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.240 align:center
Certainly, Father.
00:52:03.600 --> 00:52:05.760 align:center
In this mighty kingdom,
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.400 align:center
he stands the shortest of all.
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:13.600 align:center
Sprawling in all directions.
00:52:15.240 --> 00:52:17.440 align:center
Hair sprouts from his ears,
00:52:18.160 --> 00:52:21.159 align:center
and he snores while sleeping.
00:52:21.160 --> 00:52:22.040 align:center
Okay?
00:52:22.560 --> 00:52:26.240 align:center
Why stop there? You might as well
tell them where all my moles are!
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.880 align:center
- Sure, why not? On the left thigh--
- Hey, hey!
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.120 align:center
- What?
- I didn't mean for real!
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:39.480 align:center
Spare me, please. Tell me about them.
00:52:40.120 --> 00:52:42.600 align:center
How would I know where their moles are?
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:49.480 align:center
Getting too personal, pal.
00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:52.919 align:center
I'm not asking about their moles.
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:53.959 align:center
Then?
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:57.439 align:center
Introduce them. Who are they,
and where are they from? Tell me.
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.199 align:center
Oh, in that sense!
00:52:59.200 --> 00:53:00.400 align:center
Well…
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:03.199 align:center
who doesn't know him?
00:53:03.200 --> 00:53:04.559 align:center
I don't.
00:53:04.560 --> 00:53:05.400 align:center
Yeah, I know.
00:53:06.680 --> 00:53:08.120 align:center
That's why I'm telling you.
00:53:11.560 --> 00:53:15.359 align:center
The uncrowned king of comedy,
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:18.360 align:center
Kapil Sharma, has invited him to his
show, so he must be somebody.
00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:26.040 align:center
He must be somebody.
00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:30.840 align:center
Oh, now I remember!
Have a seat, Zakir Khan.
00:53:32.200 --> 00:53:33.679 align:center
It's Zakir Khan!
00:53:33.680 --> 00:53:35.280 align:center
- Zakir Khan!
- Yes.
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:37.479 align:center
Papa Yaar.
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:39.560 align:center
- Yes!
- Yeah!
00:53:41.200 --> 00:53:43.199 align:center
So his papa is your "yaar"?
00:53:43.200 --> 00:53:44.639 align:center
- No.
- Then?
00:53:44.640 --> 00:53:48.959 align:center
I mean, he has a special on Netflix
called Papa Yaar.
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:50.039 align:center
Oh, I see.
00:53:50.040 --> 00:53:51.199 align:center
I saw it.
00:53:51.200 --> 00:53:53.000 align:center
- I was feeling sleepy.
- What?
00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:58.199 align:center
No, I was feeling sleepy,
but watching it woke me right up!
00:53:58.200 --> 00:54:00.279 align:center
Brilliant. I have to admit.
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:03.000 align:center
Let's have a big round of applause
for Papa Yaar.
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.319 align:center
Incredible!
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:06.880 align:center
He covers it up so well!
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:10.079 align:center
Introduce him as well.
00:54:10.080 --> 00:54:11.799 align:center
Who doesn't know him?
00:54:11.800 --> 00:54:13.400 align:center
- I don't.
- So I'm telling you.
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:16.840 align:center
In the film world,
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:19.320 align:center
his neck does all the acting…
00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:23.840 align:center
leaving everyone amazed!
00:54:27.600 --> 00:54:30.680 align:center
He's the first actor
who doesn't even need dialogue.
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:37.160 align:center
That's Pankaj Tripathi ji.
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.040 align:center
Oh! Pankaj Tripathi, it's you!
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:46.319 align:center
I've seen all your films.
I'm such a huge fan of yours.
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.839 align:center
No joke, really.
But let me tell you all something.
00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:53.919 align:center
Today, joining all of you,
a truly gorgeous,
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:57.919 align:center
delicate lady was also supposed
to be here.
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.319 align:center
- But she didn't come.
- Why, Father?
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.279 align:center
Because he told her,
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:04.320 align:center
"O Stree, come tomorrow."
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:14.360 align:center
He tells his own jokes
and laughs at them himself.
00:55:16.560 --> 00:55:19.120 align:center
He's both Kapil and Archana
rolled into one.
00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:20.840 align:center
Keep laughing!
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.559 align:center
Sometimes, funny things just come out.
00:55:27.560 --> 00:55:28.879 align:center
- Just come out.
- Yes.
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.039 align:center
Anyway, our spies informed us.
00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:34.279 align:center
See, our acting styles are quite similar.
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:36.159 align:center
- Really?
- Yes.
00:55:36.160 --> 00:55:40.759 align:center
So, they suggested
I venture into acting as well.
00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:41.759 align:center
Please do.
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:44.519 align:center
Looks like the spies forgot to tell you…
00:55:44.520 --> 00:55:47.799 align:center
- What?
-…he acts by tilting his neck.
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:51.040 align:center
And you don't even have a neck to tilt!
00:55:53.040 --> 00:55:54.600 align:center
Come on, man!
00:55:55.600 --> 00:55:58.719 align:center
All the heat you're giving me,
00:55:58.720 --> 00:56:00.679 align:center
put it into cooking biryani instead.
00:56:00.680 --> 00:56:03.440 align:center
At least I'd get a meal out of it!
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:06.479 align:center
Every time I sit down to eat with you,
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.800 align:center
there's "least" food left!
00:56:12.240 --> 00:56:15.519 align:center
Vikas ji, you know history well,
but you may not know this.
00:56:15.520 --> 00:56:18.359 align:center
There are stories about me
that the world has never heard.
00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:22.119 align:center
I'd tell you, but praising myself
would just sound like bragging.
00:56:22.120 --> 00:56:25.839 align:center
Prince, regale him with my war stories.
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:27.680 align:center
Yes, Father. Come.
00:56:29.040 --> 00:56:31.040 align:center
Sir, what can I say about him?
00:56:31.720 --> 00:56:34.400 align:center
You must have heard of
the Battle of Haldighati.
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.000 align:center
He stormed the enemy fort
00:56:38.600 --> 00:56:42.520 align:center
and scrubbed all the rust
in their bathrooms with sandpaper!
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:45.480 align:center
Yes!
00:56:46.520 --> 00:56:50.720 align:center
Keep him in mind for rusty bathrooms
and leaky taps!
00:56:51.720 --> 00:56:54.640 align:center
He gets five hours of work done
in ten minutes.
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:56.960 align:center
Insolent!
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:03.040 align:center
You have angered me greatly.
00:57:04.040 --> 00:57:05.880 align:center
You shall be punished.
00:57:07.200 --> 00:57:12.559 align:center
I'll get an elephant drunk
and unleash it on you!
00:57:12.560 --> 00:57:14.159 align:center
No, Father!
00:57:14.160 --> 00:57:15.839 align:center
No! No!
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:18.640 align:center
I don't want you drinking because of me.
00:57:24.200 --> 00:57:25.240 align:center
No!
00:57:28.560 --> 00:57:30.680 align:center
What nonsense are you babbling?
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:35.879 align:center
Enough of your insolence!
You're banished from my kingdom!
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:37.240 align:center
Oh, get lost!
00:57:39.120 --> 00:57:41.839 align:center
Even I don't want any of this, Daddy.
00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:42.800 align:center
"Daddy"?
00:57:43.720 --> 00:57:45.839 align:center
- "Father!"
- What kingdom?
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.120 align:center
If the king's son becomes king,
00:57:48.640 --> 00:57:51.880 align:center
people will call it nepotism
and start trolling me!
00:57:53.160 --> 00:57:54.080 align:center
No way!
00:57:54.680 --> 00:57:58.039 align:center
Just wait and see.
I'll work just as hard as them.
00:57:58.040 --> 00:58:00.559 align:center
I don't want your throne. Get lost.
00:58:00.560 --> 00:58:02.440 align:center
You won't get it anyway.
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:06.119 align:center
A king's throne isn't merely a seat.
00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:07.999 align:center
It carries the hopes of the people.
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:08.840 align:center
Yes!
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:11.159 align:center
And by sitting on people's hope,
00:58:11.160 --> 00:58:14.080 align:center
you've squashed it flat!
00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:21.200 align:center
Six inches of hope have shrunk to two.
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:25.040 align:center
I get this hope of the people
00:58:25.720 --> 00:58:29.080 align:center
fluffed up with cotton every week!
00:58:31.520 --> 00:58:32.800 align:center
He's unbelievable.
00:58:33.560 --> 00:58:34.519 align:center
Oh, get lost!
00:58:34.520 --> 00:58:36.879 align:center
I'll have you bound and captive!
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:39.880 align:center
That's for the next episode, not this one.
00:58:43.040 --> 00:58:46.160 align:center
Not just me.
You'll be bound to become a girl too!
00:58:54.560 --> 00:58:55.920 align:center
Just watch.
00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.239 align:center
- Don't be ridiculous, Daddy.
- "Daddy."
00:58:59.240 --> 00:59:03.400 align:center
I'm leaving. Just you wait and watch--
Sir, give me your blessing.
00:59:04.080 --> 00:59:05.560 align:center
I'll become an IAS officer.
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:11.240 align:center
- Jahangir… Jahangir will make IAS.
- I…
00:59:15.600 --> 00:59:16.440 align:center
Just watch.
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:19.360 align:center
I'll make IAS.
00:59:20.160 --> 00:59:22.880 align:center
I'll clear it on my first attempt.
00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:27.920 align:center
Why are you laughing?
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:32.200 align:center
Someone who was born
on the seventh attempt…
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:38.799 align:center
is claiming to clear the IAS exam
on his first!
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:40.839 align:center
Making IAS isn't that easy.
00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:43.199 align:center
It takes hard work and studying.
00:59:43.200 --> 00:59:47.759 align:center
Out of a million aspirants, only 300
become IAS officers. Did you know that?
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:48.999 align:center
Right, sir?
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:50.999 align:center
You think I'm scared?
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:52.439 align:center
Cancel.
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:53.440 align:center
No.
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:55.959 align:center
I will do
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:59.599 align:center
a Netflix special like Zakir.
Just you wait and watch!
00:59:59.600 --> 01:00:01.039 align:center
- Oh, sure.
- Yeah!
01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:04.039 align:center
It takes a whole year to write a set.
01:00:04.040 --> 01:00:05.119 align:center
It's a lot of work.
01:00:05.120 --> 01:00:06.999 align:center
You think I'm scared?
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.120 align:center
That's canceled too.
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:12.639 align:center
Like Pankaj ji,
01:00:12.640 --> 01:00:15.319 align:center
I'll become a bona fide actor. You'll see!
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:16.959 align:center
Twenty years!
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:21.599 align:center
Twenty years of dedication and hard work
brought him this far.
01:00:21.600 --> 01:00:23.080 align:center
Now I'm scared.
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:26.920 align:center
That's canceled too.
01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:30.520 align:center
I'm your blood. Why would I work hard?
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:36.960 align:center
Look.
01:00:37.680 --> 01:00:38.800 align:center
Everything's canceled.
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:41.039 align:center
Now what will you do?
01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:43.680 align:center
Now I'll order horses online.
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:46.759 align:center
"Order horses online."
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:49.079 align:center
Let's go party.
There's nothing to see here.
01:00:49.080 --> 01:00:50.959 align:center
- Shall we?
- Let's go.
01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:52.799 align:center
- We'll take your leave now.
- Okay.
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:55.479 align:center
- Thank you so much.
- The horse is here! Wait.
01:00:55.480 --> 01:00:56.560 align:center
The horse is here.
01:00:59.600 --> 01:01:00.519 align:center
A horse?
01:01:00.520 --> 01:01:03.240 align:center
Let's go, Father!
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:04.680 align:center
Let's go.
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:06.679 align:center
Let's go.
01:01:06.680 --> 01:01:07.920 align:center
Come on.
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:16.880 align:center
A huge round of applause
01:01:17.560 --> 01:01:20.359 align:center
for Vikas sir, Pankaj bhai,
and Zakir bhai.
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:21.360 align:center
Please come, sir.
01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:27.839 align:center
Man, this episode was so much fun!
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:31.199 align:center
It became my personal favorite, sir.
01:01:31.200 --> 01:01:32.999 align:center
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you very much.
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:33.920 align:center
Wonderful.
01:01:34.640 --> 01:01:36.359 align:center
- It's all Vikas sir.
- Thank you, Vikas sir.
01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:38.479 align:center
Thanks so much for coming on the show.
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:43.159 align:center
Friends, keep reading books.
They make life wonderful.
01:01:43.160 --> 01:01:46.519 align:center
And even if you don't learn from books,
life will teach you.
01:01:46.520 --> 01:01:49.320 align:center
Keep smiling and keep watching
The Great Indian Kapil Show.
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:51.719 align:center
The festival of laughter
has begun on Netflix!
01:01:51.720 --> 01:01:54.239 align:center
See you all again next Saturday.
01:01:54.240 --> 01:01:57.119 align:center
Till we meet again,
good night and take care!
01:01:57.120 --> 01:01:58.920 align:center
Love you all! Thank you so much!
01:02:01.600 --> 01:02:05.240 align:center
Please welcome on stage
the star cast of Yeh Prem Mol Liya.
01:02:06.520 --> 01:02:07.839 align:center
For the first time,
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:10.639 align:center
there are as many people on stage
as there are in the audience!
01:02:10.640 --> 01:02:13.959 align:center
On August 15, 1947, the day
our country gained independence,
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:16.439 align:center
Rajshri Productions was founded.
01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:18.959 align:center
As the British left, they handed over
the government to Nehru
01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:20.160 align:center
and the camera to the Barjatyas.
01:02:21.600 --> 01:02:24.039 align:center
In Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!,
during the shoe-stealing scene,
01:02:24.040 --> 01:02:26.679 align:center
Madhuri and Salman Khan ji
chase each other,
01:02:26.680 --> 01:02:27.959 align:center
and the bed breaks.
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:29.880 align:center
That really happened in his life!
01:02:31.680 --> 01:02:34.239 align:center
The dialogues in Sooraj sir's
films are always a hit.
01:02:34.240 --> 01:02:35.360 align:center
Even his coughs become hits!
01:02:38.560 --> 01:02:40.999 align:center
You're wrapped in two saris. Who are you?
01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:43.799 align:center
Who do you think I could be?
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:45.080 align:center
Oh, Alok Nath!
01:02:47.520 --> 01:02:50.000 align:center
All you have to say is,
"I make rapchandus films."
01:02:51.080 --> 01:02:53.960 align:center
- Rap… rapchandus.
- Rapchandus… films.
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:58.319 align:center
- Listen up, stunners!
- Listen up, stunners!
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:00.919 align:center
- My…
- My rapchandus movie is releasing!
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:02.680 align:center
Keep dancing!
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:07.079 align:center
Keep dancing!
01:03:07.080 --> 01:03:09.799 align:center
Keep swaying!
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:11.680 align:center
Keep dancing!
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:16.000 align:center
Keep dancing!
