Netflix’s flagship Indian comedy series, The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show, is back with Season 4 — and the opening episode couldn’t have had a more glamorous start. Global superstar Priyanka Chopra, fondly known as the “Desi Girl,” joined Kapil Sharma for a pilot bursting with humour, charm, and nostalgia.
Following two successful seasons in 2024, Kapil Sharma returns to the streaming platform with fresh energy, blending celebrity chats, witty sketches, and audience-driven comedy. The show’s promos featuring Priyanka went viral ahead of release, setting high expectations — and the episode delivered on every count.
The premiere opened with a comedic sketch featuring Kapil as a royal Maharaja, greeted by two fictional doctors, Sharma and Verma. His grand sword-wielding entrance was met with playful banter, situational jokes, and satirical takes on topics like inflation and global warming, leaving judges Navjyot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh in stitches. An imaginative kingdom segment followed, where Kapil enacted absurd laws based on “public” suggestions, cementing a strong comedic start.
Priyanka Chopra then made a regal entrance, warmly welcomed by Kapil, Sidhu, and the audience. Calling the appearance a “homecoming,” she praised Kapil’s fitter physique and improved English, while engaging in playful banter. One standout moment saw Kapil jokingly messaging Priyanka’s Instagram Story, prompting her to “complain” to his wife Ginni Chatrath — a gag that also led to a sweet conversation about family and Priyanka’s daughter, Malti.
The episode cleverly incorporated AI humour, contrasting Priyanka’s impressive career accolades with Kapil’s “flirting skills” and tales of bachelorhood. Priyanka shared anecdotes about meeting husband Nick Jonas — including the viral story of Nick flying her above the clouds in a private jet to break her Karva Chauth fast. She also revealed quirky family nicknames for Nick and his newfound love for Indian traditions, from traditional wear to tasting Hajmola.
A special Baahubali-themed skit by Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda had the audience roaring with laughter, and Priyanka herself couldn’t resist joining in the fun. The popular “social media comments” segment returned, showcasing hilarious fan remarks on Priyanka’s Instagram posts with Nick, earning genuine amusement from the actress.
Later, Suniel Grover took the stage as “Diamond Raja” of the fictional Chak Chak Dhoom Orchestra, engaging in over-the-top admiration for Priyanka before sharing a duet performance with her. Priyanka, ever the sport, donned a glittery jacket and sang “Baby Slowly Slowly”, joking it could become a hit track.
The episode wrapped with Priyanka delivering a thoughtful message on kindness and humility in an ever-changing world. With its mix of sharp comedy, celebrity warmth, and memorable sketches, this premiere is an absolute treat for fans of both Kapil Sharma and Priyanka Chopra — a must-watch for anyone craving high-quality Indian comedy entertainment.
