The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Rajiv Thakur on making a late entry this season; Kapil jokes ‘You were not invited this time as well’

Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show is in full swing, and this week's episode brought in a mix of humour, satire, and a surprise international twist. One of the highlights was comedian Rajiv Thakur’s much-awaited entry into the season—albeit fashionably late. Making a tongue-in-cheek entrance by posing as a 'Superfan' of the show, Rajiv sparked laughter with his opening remark, “If everyone knows who I am, then why did I come so late in the show?”Kapil Sharma responded in classic Kapil style, “No, it’s not like that.

You weren’t invited today either. To be honest, they’ve taken Sidhu paaji, so there were budget constraints.” Rajiv quickly quipped back, “Sidhu paaji in my budget? Has anyone ever heard of buying almonds in a peanut budget?” The hilarious back-and-forth reminded fans why Rajiv and Kapil's chemistry is so adored.This episode featured actors Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Jitendra Kumar, and Pratik Gandhi, who joined in on the fun and games. But the biggest surprise came when K-pop sensation Jackson Wang made a lively appearance to promote his new song.Jackson didn’t just sit through the show—he danced, laughed, and completely immersed himself in the vibe. In a fun moment, Kapil encouraged Pratik Gandhi to teach Jackson some garba moves. Jackson picked them up effortlessly, delighting both the audience and Pratik. This unexpected K-pop meets desi dance-off was a true highlight, earning cheers and applause.Meanwhile, Sunil Grover, in his Diamond Raja avatar, had the audience in splits with his signature dramatic antics. Singing, “This is my left profile… I know swimming also…”, he turned the stage into a mock audition. Soon, all the guests joined in for an impromptu dance party, ending the episode on a high note.
