The second episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, streaming on Netflix from June 28, features a star-studded lineup from Anurag Basu’s film Metro… In Dino. The episode includes veteran actors Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and younger stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, alongside director Anurag Basu himself.
The episode promises candid conversations, spontaneous dancing, and Bollywood-style romance. Neena Gupta humorously remarked on feeling too young to be called a grandmother while watching her granddaughter dance to “Dum Maaro Dum.” Pankaj Tripathi shared a heartfelt memory about his first love, while Fatima Sana Shaikh joked about possibly meeting her special someone on the show. Sara Ali Khan became the subject of playful wedding banter, particularly with co-star Aditya Roy Kapur, who also took on a mentor role, coaching Krushna Abhishek’s character on romance.
A highlight of the episode is a musical chairs game that turns hilariously dramatic, with Anupam Kher and Sara Ali Khan participating enthusiastically. The cast also engaged in retro dance performances in pairs, including Aditya-Sara and Anupam-Neena, celebrating cinema and nostalgia with uninhibited fun.
