Global Kapil Sharma fans and Indian audiences alike were treated to a hilarious episode featuring one of the show’s biggest guests ever: Ed Sheeran! Kapil Sharma, known for warming up the crowd with his witty self-deprecating humor before introducing guests, stayed true to form. He even joked about practicing his English beforehand to avoid making Ed feel awkward – a tactic that certainly paid off, leaving Ed in stitches!
SHAPE OF YOU X BHANGRA BEATS & DANCERS
The episode kicked off on a high note with Ed Sheeran himself taking the stage. Adding a vibrant Indian twist, he performed his hit song “Shape of You” accompanied by energetic Bhangra dancers. This unique rendition brought smiles to everyone’s faces and set the perfect energetic tone for the rest of the show. Sure, fans may be well-versed in Ed Sheeran’s musical achievements, but on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Ed sheds his rockstar persona and gets refreshingly honest. The episode offers a glimpse into the hilarious and relatable sides of Ed that many might not know, showcasing the man behind the music.
ED SINGS A FAMOUS RAJ KAPOOR SONG WITH KAPIL
Ed Sheeran went all out on The Great Indian Kapil Show! From attempting Hindi lines with Kapil Sharma to channeling Bollywood royalty with Shah Rukh Khan’s signature pose, Ed declared the show “The craziest, most fun show ever!” Kapil Sharma got him to sing, “Kisi Ki Muskuraahaton” from Raj Kapoor’s Anari, and well, Ed sounded supremely amazing Hindi melodies. The ultimate surprise came when Kapil revealed his four-year-old daughter’s a massive Ed Sheeran fan, memorizing the lyrics to “Shape of You” at such a young age!
THE MOST BIZARRE FOOD HE’S HAD ON TOUR! YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE
During a Q&A session, Kapil Sharma quizzed Ed about the most bizarre food he’d ever encountered on tour. Ed’s answer? Fish sperm! Apparently, in some Japanese restaurants, chefs serve a dish called Shirako, which Ed described as “basically a testicle that you eat and it explodes in your mouth.” While some people find it delicious, Ed admitted he wasn’t a huge fan. This hilarious confession left both the audience and Kapil Sharma in stitches!
THE WEIRDEST JOB HE’S EVER DONE
Further, upon being asked the weirdest job Ed’s ever done in his life, the singer said, “The only job I had was I worked in a bar, cleaning cutlery. They would bring in all the cutlery from all the people that had eaten. And then, I would wash it, dry it, that was it.”
HE DID THE ICONIC SRK POSE!
Ed Sheeran wasn’t just there for the laughs on The Great Indian Kapil Show! The singer also expressed his warm feelings about his recent visit to Shah Rukh Khan’s house. He even struck Shah Rukh Khan’s famous arms-wide pose, calling the Bollywood superstar “such a big star, but also such a loving person.”
‘SHAPE OF YOU’ STAR WANTED TO BECOME AN ACTOR!
The Great Indian Kapil Show took a surprising turn when Ed Sheeran revealed a hidden dream! During a segment, Ed confessed he once harbored aspirations of becoming an actor, even auditioning for a TV show at 16 that involved both music and acting. He even made a pact with himself – if he landed the role, he’d ditch music, and vice versa! Luckily for music fans everywhere, Ed didn’t get the part, leading him to focus on his musical talents.
In closing, Ed Sheeran’s visit to India wasn’t just the final stop of his ‘+-=x tour’ – it was a cultural exchange that left everyone smiling! The singer was clearly captivated by the country and its fans, who showered him with love throughout his stay.
As he departed, Ed promised a heartwarming farewell: a return trip to India next year! He bowed before the audience and expressed his gratitude, a gesture that perfectly captured the mutual respect and enjoyment of the visit. The show masterfully blended Kapil Sharma’s signature comedy with genuine interaction with Ed Sheeran. The highlight? An unforgettable musical performance featuring Ed, Kapil, and India’s beloved Junk percussion band, Dharavi Reloaded. It was a fitting end to an episode that transformed a comedy show into a night filled with laughter, music, and cultural connection.
The Kapil Sharma Show is available to stream on Netflix.
