Everyone, from the common man to celebrities, appeared to be awestruck by the show. Not only that, but the comic show also gave a platform for film promotions as well. Biggies from Bollywood continued to visit the sets of Kapil’s show to promote their films. Here are some amusing punch lines and characters that became the show’s signature style.

Babaji Ka Thullu: Comedy Nights with Kapil has not only propelled the show’s host, Kapil Sharma, to unprecedented heights of popularity but the show has also successfully won a million hearts. Kapil Sharma’s distinctive phrase, ‘Babaji Ka Thullu,’ gained international acclaim. ‘Babaji Ka Thullu’ was a popular word in anything from text messaging to social networking sites.

Gutthi:  There’s no denying that Sunil Grover was fantastic playing the role of Gutthi. The character was one of the highlights of the show and the character not only became everyone’s favorite her hilarious introduction style was also copied and enacted by many.

Dadi:  Dadi aka Ali Asgar never missed a chance to say, ‘Ittu sa tha tu’ (you were so tiny) addressing Bittu aka Kapil Sharma! Ali’s amazing ability to bring liveliness and fun to the character was unmatched. Dadi’s another signature style ‘Shagun ki Pappi’ as a gesture of love for many is still fresh in the minds of many.

Pinky Bua: Kapil stated that he feels the secret to the show’s success is the equal affection that all the characters receive from the crowd. This is also true when we consider the many characters on this show. Pinky Bua was one of them. All she had ever wanted was to marry and find an uncle for Kapil!

I would love to feature a dish made with Ostrich eggs: Simran Kochar

Dine With Colors is a famous culinary and travel television show hosted by Simran Kochar Singh. Her captivating show, which celebrates the best eats, drinks, recipes, and more from throughout the country, airs on DesiPlay TV every Sunday. The show is best defined as a gastronomic odyssey across North America, as it travels the country spotlighting the top restaurants, chefs, international food, and iconic regional sites. Simran discussed anything from what goes into developing a television show to what regional cuisine can teach us about the people and places that gave birth to them.

On asking which restaurant in North America, she would like to feature on her show Dine with Colors, Simran said, “There are several, but two that come to mind instantly in New York: I had the pleasure of dining at Tavern 62, David Burke’s new Upper East Side restaurant. And I really want to feature his Ostrich egg recipe on the show. I believe David is simply warm and pleasant in person, as evidenced by the way he greets and mingles with everyone in the restaurant and makes them feel at ease. It would be fantastic if his story and dishes were featured on the show. There’s another fantastic restaurant in Washington Square Park called Dosa Man Thiru.”

Simran doesn’t hesitate to talk about how diverse regional and cultural cuisines teach us about the locations and the brainchild behind them. “I enjoy seeing how beautifully geography, climate, religious beliefs, and trade history have influenced the choice of vegetables and spices in various lands, how changing infrastructures have increased access to newer ingredients for chefs all over the world, and how the internet and global online deliveries have spawned more creativity in meals. Food is a cultural identity in and of itself, and I prefer to recognize and really enjoy the diversity rather than expecting a melting pot.”

Simran further added,” From sharing Ethiopian Injera with a glamorous restaurant owner who taught me how to respect food down to the last morsel as people do in Ethiopia due to abject poverty, to learning from a barbecue pit master in Charleston how wood from different trees affects the flavor of his chicken wings, to learning how to wait patiently with the Vietnamese chef for the special coffee with condensed milk to brewing, I just love seeing the passion for food. The more traditional and authentic, the better!”

I entered the entertainment industry without any godfather: Kapil Sharma

Kapil Sharma, with this amazing comic timing and quick wittedness, the actor soon became a household name. It wasn’t easy for him initially. The actor has come a long way from his modest beginnings in Amritsar to reaching a life that many people can only dream of. Kapil Sharma has experienced several lows on his path to popularity, including fallout with team members, despair, and even a career ebb. Time and again Kapil spoke about the difficult times and how he battled them fearlessly. There was also a time when he locked himself up after receiving nothing but negative feedback. He also stated that as he went out, he realised that people still loved him, which gave him the courage to keep going.

The actor spoke at length about serving the entertainment industry without any godfather and how the audience keeps motivating him to do his best. “I won’t deny the fact that nepotism is prevalent in the industry. However, I always grateful to the genuine people in the industry and the audience for always showering their love and appreciating my work.” shared Kapil.

Adding further he said,” Everyone has their own experiences; some gain it through networks, while others forge their own path. I’m not going to imply that folks who come via godfathers aren’t talented. However, at the end of the day, it is your talent that will propel you forward. Even if you receive a huge launch, the audience will not see you if you can’t act. For my part, I worked on regional networks before making it to national television.”

The actor additionally addressed how he feels the supreme force shows the way, especially in difficult times. The actor also believes that sometimes it might be difficult to make people laugh when he is feeling down, but a lot of things depend upon how an individual handles the situation. “A lot depends on how you handle it, and sometimes, it’s the stage that gives you the power. I believe God helps me sail through such difficult times.”

I had bagged the role of Vishnu in Uttaran while holidaying in Goa: Mrunal Jain

Mrunal Jain has had an eventful career in the television industry, and he plays Vishnu in the Hindi TV show ‘Uttaran’ on DesiPlay TV. The handsome actor talked about his experiences related to the show, his co actors and how did he land a role in Uttaran.  Read the excerpt from the interview.

“I had auditioned for the role and was notified that I was selected for it while on vacation in Goa. The creative team thankfully agreed to hold back on the look test for four days until I returned. And I aced the appearance test with flying colors.” shared Mrunal.

On asking about his experiences of working with the co-stars like Tina Dutta, Mrunal said, “She has a wonderful heart and comes across as a real person. Our banter continues even off the camera, and she adds a spark to the set anytime she is around. It was a good experience to work with her and she is an amazing co-star.”

When asked about how many similarities he finds between himself and Vishnu, Mrunal replied,” To some extent, I relate with Vishnu. Sometimes the attire worn by my on-screen character is very similar to what I would prefer wearing it in real life as well. The best part is Vishnu is a simple guy and this characteristics of him is very close to my heart.”

Mrunal is known to successfully portray on screen characters. With his diverse roles in different shows, the actor now feels that it has been creatively fulfilling for him. “Taking on a variety of roles has been creatively fulfilling and I have evolved as an actor. All I can say is that a significant transition has occurred within me, and new prospects have begun to present themselves. Today, being an all-arounder is crucial. Having said that, I also think that everything is pre-destined and happens as it should.”

Mrunal also shared some fitness tips that he swears by. “I only eat healthy and natural foods. I also go to the gym daily. Finally, I consume a lot of water. There is a tale behind this; while I was in college, my seniors would rag me and urge me to take off my T-shirt. They would even throw water on me. I used to be embarrassed because I was so thin. I decided to take care of myself.”

I wasn’t sure about playing Lord Shiva: Sourabh Raj Jain

Sourabh Raaj Jain’s portrayal of Lord Shiva in Mahakali – Anth Hi has captivated numerous hearts. The depiction of Lord Shiva as a compassionate friend, ally, motivator, and mentor on the show has touched the hearts of many. Interestingly, the character of Lord Shiv surpassed the portrayal of so-called modern men on Indian TV shows by a hundredfold.  The portrayal of Shiva as a staunch feminist in the series resonated deeply with the audience.

It provides an insightful perspective into the character of Lord Shiva. “Initially, I was filled with apprehension when I learned that I had to play the character of Mahadev. Playing the role of Shiva, especially after portraying Krishna, wasn’t something I had considered. However, as I received the narration for the role, I discovered that the show would highlight the Shankar aspect of Shiva, where he serves as the head of the family and supports his wife wholeheartedly. This portrayal of Shiva as a feminist in the show was a remarkable aspect that greatly appealed to me. It also resonates with my personal life experiences.”

“Throughout my childhood, I witnessed my own mother working tirelessly as a lawyer. This personal experience has shaped my belief that gender should not define one’s worth or capabilities. What truly matters is having a goal in life and working towards it, regardless of whether you are male or female.” He added.

When asked if he ever had any amusing encounters with fans considering he has portrayed god-like characters throughout his career, Sourabh added,” As amusing as it may sound, I haven’t actually portrayed a god-like character throughout my career! However, I’ve had some truly wonderful moments with fans. This connection with fans goes way back to the days of my previous shows when people still remember me as one of the characters from the show. Even the roles I played in Uttaran and other shows are still recognized by viewers. While there haven’t been any particularly funny moments with fans, the overall experience has been amazing.”

I liked the storyline of Sanskaar Dharohar Apnon Ki Season 2: Tejasswi Prakash

Tejasswi Prakash played the role of Dhara in Sanskaar Dharohar Apnon ki Season 2 and shared her experiences about working in the show. “I am delighted to be associated with Sanskaar – Dharohar Apnon Ki, as the plot is truly captivating. It brings me immense joy to contribute to this production. The supportive nature of my co-actors and the production house has been invaluable. Despite joining the show halfway through, I have seamlessly integrated into the cast, forging strong bonds with everyone involved.”

In the beginning, comparisons were drawn between the characters of Bhoomi, the former lead actress of the show, and Dhara, the current lead actress. When questioned about this, Tejasswi responded, “I had no apprehensions because Bhoomi and Dhara are completely distinct characters. They cannot be compared. I am fond of my role as Dhara and the various nuances it encompasses.”

Tejaswi admits feeling nervous on her first day of shooting, particularly when working alongside the senior actors of the show. However, with time she gained confidence and comfort when shooting scenes with the entire cast. “I was extremely scared on the first day, especially because my very first scene was with the legendary actress Aroona Irani. It was an intense angry sequence, which added to my nervousness. I was also determined not to require multiple takes for that scene, so I took a leap of faith and thankfully, everything turned out well. With eash passing episode I felt at ease with the entire cast, and gradually developed a strong bond.”

Tejaswi also shared views about her journey in the entertainment industry, “Since childhood, I had aspired to become an actress, but I was unsure of how to pursue a career in acting. I studied engineering, and during a college festival, photographs from the event were published in a newspaper. It was through those pictures that a production house noticed me and reached out for an audition. I took the opportunity and was fortunate enough to be selected for the show. From that point on, there was no looking back.”
