OTT favourites Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Jitendra Kumar, and Pratik Gandhi are all set to take over the couch on this week’s episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, streaming this Saturday, July 12 on Netflix. With stories that blur the lines between reel and real life, the four acclaimed actors open up about their humble beginnings, unexpected career pivots, and lifelong dreams — and even throw in some surprising dance moves along the way.
Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Jitendra Kumar, Pratik Gandhi bring real stories, dance moves and K-pop Star Jackson Wang to The Great Indian Kapil Show
Known for his portrayal of Jeetu Bhaiya in Kota Factory, Jitendra Kumar revealed that he’s not just playing an IIT professor on-screen – he actually studied at IIT himself. His unexpected switch to acting left host Kapil Sharma stunned. Responding with honesty, Pratik Gandhi added, “Engineering ke baad aap ko sach mein pata chalta hai ki aapko life mein kya karna hai (It’s only after engineering that you truly realise what you want to do in life)”.
In contrast, Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat always knew they wanted to act. Sharing a story from his early days, Vijay recalled, “Maine ek dost ko bola mera selection ho gaya mere paas paise nahin hai zyada, usne paise dediye fees ke, maine kaha ab permission toh nahin milegi ghar se, bhaagte hai, toh main ghar se bhaag gaya! (I told a friend I got selected [in acting school] but didn’t have enough money. He gave me the fees. Then I said I won’t get permission from home, so I ran away from home!)”.
Jaideep added that he and Vijay were batchmates at FTII and often dreamed about making it big together — a dream that has now become reality. The camaraderie between the actors makes for some of the episode’s most touching moments.
Meanwhile, Sunil Grover, as Diamond Raja, brings the laughs with an ‘audition anthem’ and an over-the-top posing tutorial for their future Oscar moment — teaching them how to pose ‘left, right, and open-to-options’. In another highlight, Jaideep joins airport security queens Sona and Mona for a hilarious dance performance, proving that his moves are just as sharp as his screen presence.
Adding an international twist to the already packed episode, K-pop star Jackson Wang makes a surprise appearance — a crossover moment fans didn’t see coming.
Blending heartfelt revelations with unfiltered comedy, The Great Indian Kapil Show this weekend promises to be one of the most entertaining episodes of the season.
