Kapil Sharma kicked off The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix on March 30. Since its premiere, it has aired five episodes. While he began the series with Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor, he has so far hosted the team of Amar Singh Chamkila — Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra and Imtiaz Ali — and recently hosted Aamir Khan.
Last month, Kapil told the media in a press release, “Sunil, Krushna, Kiku, Rajiv and I have been friends for a very long time and how you see us on screen, is how we are in real life. And yes, we love Archana ji – I had to say this because she’s holding my house help hostage. ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is an extension of all of us in many ways and thanks to Netflix, you can watch us anytime, anywhere. Just remember, a new episode drops every Saturday.”
