Kapil Sharma clears the air after troll mixes up Chak De India reference: 'I stated Shah Rukh Khan...'
As the clock struck midnight and the world stepped into 2026, comedian and TV host Kapil Sharma did what he does leading, made people laugh. But this time, the laughter came not from a stage or TV screen, but from his sharp, honest and hilarious reply to an online troll.
The actor-comedian welcomed the New Year with a mix of warmth and wit, proving yet again that he knows exactly how to handle the internet’s love-hate relationship with him.
The moment began after a clip from The Great Indian Kapil Show went viral on social media. The episode featured women cricketers along with coach Amol Muzumdar. During the discussion, Kapil made a light-hearted reference that didn’t sit well with one viewer.
The user accused Kapil of confusing real-life hockey legend Mir Ranjan Negi with the fictional character Kabir Khan from Chak De! India, played by Shah Rukh Khan. The troll went on to mock Kapil, calling him “ignorant” and questioning his knowledge.
Instead of ignoring the comment or responding angrily, Kapil chose humour — his strongest weapon.
He replied, “Dear sir, when did I say Kabir Khan? I reported Shah Rukh Khan. And it was remarked in a humorous way, which you won’t understand because aapka taana besura hai. Anyway, joyful fresh year. Stay happy and spread happiness.”
Dear sir when did I say Kabir khan? I declared Shahrukh khan, and it was in a humorous way, which you will never understand bcoz apka taansane to besura hai hahaha, anyways happy novel year. Stay glad n spread happiness. https://t.co/EupBMmgPTy
The response instantly caught attention for its calm tone and classic Kapil-style sarcasm. Fans quickly jumped in, praising him for handling negativity with grace and humour rather than aggression.
Things got even more entertaining when another user advised Kapil not to waste time replying to trolls. That’s when the comedian dropped what many called the “most Kapil reply ever.”
He wrote, “I know ji, I was just sitting in the toilet at that time. Kuch alag se time nahi nikala inko reply karne ke liye. Happy New Year to you too.”
The honest and hilarious response went viral within minutes, with fans applauding his ability to stay real and relatable.
Amid all the banter, Kapil also took a moment to share a heartfelt New Year message. He wished his followers happiness, great health and positivity, urging everyone to begin the year with kindness and laughter.
Once again, Kapil Sharma proved that his charm lies not just in punchlines, but in how effortlessly he blends humour with humility. As 2026 begins, his fans couldn’t have asked for a better start, full of laughs, honesty and classic Kapil-style wit.
