The latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show saw the cast of Metro In Dino laugh out loud at Kapil Sharma's jokes. Now, the comedian has shared a behind-the-scenes clip of an unreleased portion of the show. The clip shows the actors discussing various things, including their academic performances. They also spoke about working with Anurag Basu and how the filmmaker would give them dialogues on the same day, right before the shoot. In a part of the clip, Kapil asks Sara Ali Khan about what she was pursuing before becoming an actor. She responded, 'I was studying. I have studied history, political science… I have studied a lot.' Meanwhile, Fatima Sana Shaikh lauded Sara and said, 'She is well educated.' However, speaking about herself, she said, 'I had dropped out of 12th standard after failing in 12th standard. I used to fail in class. I got 55 percent in 12th.' Anupam quickly chimed in, declaring that he scored 38 percent in 12th, while Kapil shared that he got 44 percent. Anupam pointed at the crowd and said, 'Despite this, we are sitting here on the stage.' Kapil also didn't miss the chance to take a dig at Sara Ali Khan, who is often seen holidaying in the mountains or going on religious trips. Kapil asked if Sara does the same to ask for a husband from God. He said, 'She likes mountains so much that she climbs a mountain as soon as she gets off shooting. She has come down only for my show. Do you go to mountains to ask for a husband?' Sara looked a little annoyed as she responded, 'If that was the case then there would have been a line of boys for me.' During the interaction, Kapil pulled Anurag's leg, saying that he gives dialogues to his actors just a few minutes before the shoot. Kapil joked, 'Is your printer not working?' Aditya Roy Kapur then shared, 'You don't have pressure on his set as an actor because you don't know what you are doing. If you do bad work, it is his fault.'

Shah Rukh Khan And Ajay Devgn Are Not 'Buddies', Kajol REACTS To Husband's 'Insecurity' Rumours: 'Genuinely...'
Kajol clears the air on Ajay Devgn's reaction to her bond with Shah Rukh Khan, calling jealousy rumours baseless. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have long been celebrated as one of Bollywood's most iconic on-screen pairs. From the timeless romance of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the emotional depth of My Name Is Khan, their films have struck a chord with generations of moviegoers. Known for their effortless chemistry and natural camaraderie, the duo delivered some of Hindi cinema's most memorable romantic moments in hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Dilwale. But, for years, gossip mills have speculated about tension between Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan — all because of the iconic on-screen chemistry shared by Kajol and SRK. But the actress is setting the record straight once and for all. Speaking to Times Now, Kajol reacted to whether her husband ever felt insecure about her close bond with Shah Rukh Khan, her frequent co-star in hit romantic films. 'Nothing at all, they were pretty much rumours. Genuinely, nothing really happened. They weren't like 'Oh buddy, let's share a beer,' but today they truly respect each other," Kajol said, firmly dismissing any talk of jealousy. She also touched on the topic of 'camps" in Bollywood, often used to describe industry cliques. 'I don't know whether there are camps anymore. There weren't camps, just friends or certain people who have worked with certain people. More than camps, it was a comfort level of whom you've worked and not worked with. I didn't have a camp, I worked with everybody. The camp system eluded me," she explained. The Maa actor went on to talk about the understanding she and Ajay Devgn share in their personal life — including respecting each other's social preferences. 'There's no awkwardness, that's a boundary really. As people, we are individuals. I will like some things, he will not like some things and vice versa. We both decided that that's fine. As long as I don't have to sit down and whatever, I am fine, you go ahead, have friends and do whatever you want," she said. On the work front, Kajol will next be seen in Sarzameen, a thriller set to release on JioHotstar on July 25. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, alongside her. First Published:
