Salman Khan Pokes Fun At Sikandar's Reception On Kapil Sharma Show: 'Kaam Dhanda Acha Chalra Hai?'
Last Updated:
Salman Khan kicks off The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 with a dig at his own film, Sikandar.
The Great Indian Kapil Show is back with its third season, and who better to launch it than Salman Khan. The superstar appears in the premiere episode airing Saturday, June 21, on Netflix, to promote his latest release, Sikandar. Known for never shying away from poking fun at himself, Salman brings his trademark humour to the stage — complete with banter, witty comebacks, and a hilarious moment with his own impersonator.
In one standout segment, Salman is introduced to a group of Bollywood lookalikes — including versions of Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and a fan dressed as Radhe Bhaiyya from Tere Naam. Spotting his own double, Salman playfully asks, 'Kaam dhanda accha chalra hai? Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada?"
The impersonator simply smiles and shakes his head, prompting laughter from the audience and cast alike. The episode also features lively exchanges between Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh, continuing the show's legacy of blending celebrity guests with full-blown comedy.
While Sikandar became one of the year's biggest Bollywood earners, raking in more than Rs 120 crore, it received mixed reviews and fell short of the usual Salman Khan blockbuster mark.
Meanwhile, reports are rife that Sikandar has suffered a massive financial blow after being leaked online just hours after its release. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the piracy resulted in losses amounting to approximately Rs 91 crore for the production team.
An insider told the publication, 'An audit was commissioned to assess the extent of the leak and the resulting impact on revenue. Ernst & Young (EnY) submitted a comprehensive report that pegged the loss at approximately Rs. 91 crore."
The audit reportedly measured the difference between projected and actual earnings following the leak. Advanced tracking tools were used to monitor illegal downloads and streams, calculating the financial damage caused to the film's theatrical and digital revenue.
'Such audits often include a blend of data from ticketing platforms, distributor reports, and forensic tracing of piracy dissemination," the source added. 'The Rs. 91 crore figure wasn't arbitrary – it is rooted in a loss of potential theatrical and digital revenue."

Indian-origin student breaks into energetic bhangra at University of Washington graduation
An Indian-origin college student broke into an impromptu bhangra routine as he walked up to receive his bachelor's degree at a graduation ceremony at the University of Washington Bothell. Arijeet Singh, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, marked the occasion with an energetic dance routine as he walked up to receive his degree. In a video posted on Instagram, Singh is seen stepping onto the graduation stage in traditional black robes, immediately breaking into bhangra moves as his classmates look on from behind. His spirited performance continued as he danced across the stage, enthusiastically shook hands with a faculty member, and leapt in the air before greeting another official. The crowd cheered as Singh joined his peers, now officially a graduate. 'POV: You turned up at grad,' he captioned the clip, which quickly gained traction online. Singh, who is based in Seattle and also creates content on social media, received a flood of congratulatory messages from viewers who praised his joyful expression. A post shared by BrownBoyJeet (@brownboyjeet) However, not everyone appreciated the moment. Some critics accused him of breaking decorum during a formal event. 'I understand you're happy and thrilled about your huge achievement, it's completely valid. But I just want to remind you that graduation ceremonies hold a decorum of honour, gratitude, dignified pride and joy,' one comment read. Singh's video follows another viral clip that showed a group of Indian tourists performing garba to the popular Bollywood song 'Chogada' on the viewing deck of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The video sparked widespread criticism of the group after it went viral on Instagram. Many social media users were quick to point out that dancing in public spaces might disturb others or go against local rules.
