His struggling days

Kapil said that he had got a break from studies for three long months when he was 20. So during that period, he decided to go to Mumbai and struggle with his friends trying to make it into La La Land. They used to roam on Juhu beach looking for directors, slept on the station, got beaten up by the police for lingering. While he could not make it during that time in Mumbai, Kapil was very fearful of returning home thinking about what will people say.

Marrying Ginni Chatrath

Talking about how he proposed to Ginni, Kapil said, “I used to assign work a lot of work to her. She used to call me and report what happened and how much they had rehearsed today.” He then revealed the drunk call to Ginni. “I had Officer’s Choice. I lifted the call and asked her, ‘Do you love me?’ She was shocked. She was wondering how did I summon up the courage. I am thankful that I didn’t have taddy else the question would have been something else.”

His tweet to the Prime Minister

Kapil Sharma had put quite the dent in his career after he had tweeted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The comedian accepted in the special that he was hammered on alcohol when he made the tweet but it cost him a lot of money. Talking about the next day, Kapil said, “I left for the Maldives instantly, I lived there for 8-9 days. The moment I reached Maldives, I asked them for a room with no internet. They asked, ‘Have you got married?’ I replied, ‘No, I just tweeted.’ My stay costed me Rs 9 lakhs, which I didn’t even spend on my education. That one line costed me that much.”

Gate crashing Shah Rukh Khan’s house party

During his Netflix special, Kapil said that once his cousin had come from London. She requested that she wants to see Shah Rukh Khan’s home Mannat in Mumbai. Recalling the incident, he said, “The gates were open and I decided to ‘misuse’ my fame. I told my driver, take the car in. The security guys saw my face and let me in. They thought I must have been invited. When I got inside, I realised we were not doing the right thing. I thought we should leave. But just then, some special manager of Shah Rukh Khan came outside and invited us in. It was 3am at that point”

Further, he said, “Kapde bhi kya maine nikkar pehni hui hai (I am wearing a pair of knickers). With a pair of sketchers, chewing a paan, and high. Darwaza khola too Gauri bhabhi and unki 3-4 saheliya baithi hui hain (Gauri and her few friends were sitting there). She thought Shah Rukh must have called me. I said ‘hello’, she said, ‘Shah Rukh is inside. Please.’ I went inside and Shah Rukh Khan was dancing the way he always does, even at his home. I was baffled. I went up to him and said, ‘Bhai sorry. My cousin is here and she wanted to see Shah Rukh Khan’s house. It was open so I came in.’ Shah Rukh replied, ‘Would you come in had my bedroom door been open too?’”
