The promo, which has surfaced online, opens with Kapil Sharma welcoming Kartik and Ananya for the New Year special episode. Kapil jokes, “Happy New Year is for Kartik, every time a new film, a new heroine.” He then asks Ananya whether she started dieting early or if she is naturally thin due to her father Chunky Panday’s habit of being thrifty.

Ananya also shares her take on modern-day relationships, saying that people in the 1990s believed more in commitment, whereas today, live-in relationships are more common. She adds that if couples start sharing phone passwords with each other, it often signals the beginning of a breakup.

The promo further features Sunil Grover mimicking Aamir Khan, leading to light-hearted banter with Kartik and Ananya. However, the biggest surprise comes towards the end, as the episode takes a spooky turn. Krushna Abhishek appears as Manjulika in an attempt to scare the guests, while another character dressed as a ghost leaves Kartik and Ananya screaming in fear. The episode is set to stream on Netflix on January 3, 2026.
