The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Kapil Sharma takes a dig at Navjot Singh Sidhu's political career; says 'Biwi ka dil jeetna, party ka kya hai banda badal bhi leta hai...'
The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 welcomed a popular couple, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha as special guests. The good-looking couple revealed many secrets about their love story and relationship. The episode was a full-on laugh riot with hilarious gags from Krushna Abhishek , Kiku Sharda and Sunil Grover. Parineeti and Raghav were seen having a gala time on the show and Raghav even disclosed many things about his political career. During a candid chat with Raghav, Kapil asked the young politician what he found more challenging—winning elections or winning his wife's heart. With a witty smile, Raghav replied, "The frequency is different. You have to win an election once every five years, but you have to win your wife's heart every hour." Hearing this, Kapil praised him and others cheered for him. Just then Kapil pulled Navjot Singh Sidhu 's leg by cracking a hilarious punch on his political career. He said, "Biwi ka dil jeetna actually, party ka kya hai, woh toh aap kabhi bhi badal sakte ho." (A person can always switch political parties. Right Paaji) and then he looked at Sidhu for validation. This left everyone in splits of laughter including Parineeti and Raghav. He then stated, "Look at the power of love and art! We have people from different political parties under the same roof. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo If we count your former party, we have people from three parties here." Sidhu quickly added, "India has around 30 to 40 languages, 40 different cultures and people from different castes and communities living together. Four parties surely co-exist." Raghav supports Sidhu and says that's the beauty of India. During the beginning of the episode, Raghav walked barefoot on TGIKS stage. When Kapil asked him about the reason, he informed the host that someone stole his shoes from backstage. Just then, Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda make a dramatic entry dressed as female security officers, Mona and Sona, holding Raghav's shoes in their hands. They cheerfully address Raghav as their jiju and demand money in exchange for returning his shoes, claiming they are performing the traditional joota churayi ritual. Entering the stage with the chant, 'East or West, Raghav jiju is the best,' they leave everyone in splits. When Kapil tries to scold them for their antics, Krushna (as Mona) quips, 'Kapil is just jealous because Parineeti is here with her husband, and his flirting skills are currently on flight mode!' Kapil quickly covers up by playfully calling Parineeti his sister. Hilarious Archana Puran Singh memes flood Twitter after Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Punjab Congress chief
