In the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Kapil Sharma lauded coach Amol Muzumdar, who led the Indian Women's Cricket Team to their first-ever ICC Women's ODI World Cup win in 2025. However, the host faced backlash when he compared Amol's victory to Shah Rukh Khan's role in Chak De! India.
What's Happening
- Kapil Sharma told Amol Muzumdar, "Since you won the cricket World Cup, do you know that people are comparing you to Shah Rukh Khan from Chak De! online? Seriously, sir. You are handsome too. Do you feel like Shah Rukh?"
- The coach replied, "No, not like Chak De!."
- Shah Rukh Khan's character was Kabir Khan in the hit film. Cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues interrupted, "He is lying; he even changed his name from Amol Muzumdar to Kabir Muzumdar."
X Reactions
Fans on X were not too happy with the comparison.

One person wrote, "Idiot @KapilSharmaK9 should know that the real hero was Mir Ranjan Negi, not Kabir Khan, the reel hero! I wish Amol Muzumdar had fact-checked this clown."
Kapil Sharma defended himself, "Dear sir, when did I say Kabir Khan? I said Shah Rukh Khan, and it was in a humorous way, which you will never understand because apka Tansen toh besura hai (your singing is out of tune) hahaha, anyways happy new year. Stay happy and spread happiness."
Some other fans supported Kapil Sharma.
An advocate wrote, "Did he say Kabir Khan? He just referred to a film."
Kapil reposted it, adding, "Yes, my lord, that's what I wanted to say, who explains it better than a lawyer, thank you."
One Internet user commented, "Ignore such jokers."
To which Kapil replied, "I know, Gupta ji, I was just sitting in the toilet that time. Kuch alag se time nahi nikala maine inko reply karne ke liye (I did not seek out time to reply to him). Hahaha, Happy New Year to you, too, sir."
