Kapil Sharma calls AP Dhillon a global star; Anubhav Singh Bassi recalls being asked to keep quiet during a stand-up gig

The new leaked promo of The Great Indian Kapil Show showed comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi and singer AP Dhillon as guests.

The Great Indian Kapil Show began with a bang, with Priyanka Chopra as its first guest. Now, a newly leaked promo shows Punjabi singer AP Dhillon and comedian-actor Anubhav Singh Bassi gracing Kapil Sharma’s couch.

The promo, which has surfaced online, shows Kapil introducing AP Dhillon and Anubhav in his signature witty style. He says, “Aaj is manch pe do global stars maujood hain — AP Dhillon aur Kapil Sharma” (Today, two global stars are present on this stage — AP Dhillon and Kapil Sharma). His introduction leaves Anubhav in splits.

Anubhav later recalls a hilarious incident from one of his stand-up gigs and says, “A venue once paid me ₹8,000 to come and perform. I went on stage to announce that I was going to do stand-up comedy. People noticed me and then went back to doing their work. While I was performing, an uncle came up to me. I thought he had liked the joke, but instead he said, ‘Beta, yeh peeyo aur thodi der chup raho’ (Drink this and keep quiet for a while).”
