Akshay Kumar stole the spotlight on the season 3 finale of The Great Indian Kapil Show, turning host Kapil Sharma’s comedy sketches into a hilarious showdown. The Bollywood star, fresh from his role in the new film Jolly LLB 3, had everyone—from Kapil’s family to the live audience—laughing non-stop.
Akshay didn’t hold back. When Kapil teased him about arriving late to the show despite his reputation for punctuality, Akshay fired back with a grin: "Arre, mujhe pehle paise nahi mile" (Hey, I didn’t get paid first). The quick wit kept coming. Kapil joked about Akshay’s packed film schedule, wondering if it showed more talent or just more "needs." Akshay flipped it right back: "Your show’s on its third season on Netflix, you’ve got two films, and now a new cafe—you tell me who’s got more talent or needs."
The episode dove deeper into Akshay’s action-hero side. Directors Mahesh Bhatt and Abbas-Mustan shared wild stories of watching him nail risky stunts without breaking a sweat, while the whole crew held their breath. Akshay opened up about his roots, saying he sees himself as a stuntman first and an actor second.
In a touching highlight, Kapil brought out a group of stunt performers who’ve teamed up with Akshay on countless sets. The actor gave them a shoutout, declaring, "Mere liye asli heros yeh hai, inki wajah se mera career hai" (These guys are the real heroes—for them, I have my career). The stuntmen revealed a generous side of Akshay: He’s quietly covered life insurance premiums for every member of their union for years. Their grateful stories added a heartfelt touch amid all the laughs.
The fun didn’t stop there. As the episode wrapped, Akshay sparked a chaotic Holi-inspired water balloon battle, drenching comedians Sunil, Kiku, and Krushna while the audience roared with laughter.
