The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 Begins with Salman Khan’s Swag, Navjot Singh Sidhu’s Return & 5 Craziest Moments from episode 1
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3: Salman Khan, Navjot Singh Sidhu & 5 Unmissable Moments from Episode 1
The Great Indian Kapil Show has returned, and it’s louder, funnier, and more unfiltered than ever. Premiering on June 21, 2025, this brand-new season kicked off with none other than Bollywood’s biggest superstar – Salman Khan. Hosted by the unstoppable Kapil Sharma, the show is now streaming exclusively on Netflix, and episode one has already set the tone with explosive laughs, shocking confessions, and nostalgic returns.
From Salman Khan’s brutally honest takes to the epic comeback of Navjot Singh Sidhu, here’s a rundown of the 5 craziest moments from the opening episode that fans can’t stop talking about.
1. Salman Khan's Swag-Filled Entry Lights Up the Stage
The show wasted no time in creating buzz. As the camera panned and Kapil made his usual cheeky remarks, Salman Khan walked in wearing a simple Being Human T-shirt and jeans — but the swag? Undeniable.
The audience went wild, the cast was in splits, and Kapil couldn’t resist poking fun at Netflix for “stealing his show and then inviting him as the first guest.”
Salman’s reply? “Kamaal ka power hai.” — and just like that, the mood was set!
2. That Hairstyle? Inspired by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam!
One of the most viral moments was Salman’s unexpected revelation about his iconic look in Tere Naam.
That long, middle-parted hairstyle? Turns out it was inspired by none other than former Indian President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam!
“Ye jo Tere Naam ka look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se,” Salman revealed, shocking everyone.
He also added that actors like Rahul Roy influenced the look and that “small-town heroes always had long hair” – a nod to Bollywood’s 90s era.
3. Salman on Marriage, Relationships & Being 'Old School'
Kapil Sharma didn’t shy away from asking the most Googled question about Salman Khan — why has he never married?
Salman’s reply was part witty, part emotional, and completely honest.
“Hum daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gayi hain, brain mein aneurysm hai… aur agar unka mood satka, woh aadha le jaayengi!”
He added with a smirk:
“Ye younger age mein hota toh theek tha, phir kama lete. Ab wapis se…”
Going further, Salman also spoke about his past relationships. Contrary to public perception, he revealed:
“I’m 59 now, and I’ve just had 3–4 girlfriends. My relationships have lasted 7–12 years. It’s a very poor average compared to today’s boys and girls. They keep hopping from one relationship to another. So I’m kind of old school.”
The mix of painful honesty and tongue-in-cheek humour left the audience clapping and laughing — a signature Salman moment.
4. Salman's Dig at Aamir Khan & His Love Life
In one of the most talked-about moments of the episode, Salman Khan made a playful yet sharp remark about Aamir Khan’s personal life — something fans weren’t expecting at all.
While chatting about relationships and bachelorhood, Salman joked about his own “poor average” in dating — but then slyly turned the spotlight toward Aamir.
He took a clear dig at Aamir’s failed marriages with Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao and cheekily referenced his current girlfriend, Gauri Spratt — whom Aamir had recently introduced to the media on his 60th birthday in March.
Though Salman didn’t mention Aamir by name directly at that moment, the context made it crystal clear. And the audience? They roared with laughter.
This moment quickly became viral on social media, with fans posting old clips of Aamir’s interviews and making meme mashups about “Bhaijaan’s roast mode ON.”
For those unaware, Aamir was previously married to Reena Dutta (with whom he has two children, Junaid and Ira) and later to director Kiran Rao. The couple separated in 2021 and continue to co-parent their son Azad.
5. A Fan Sneaked Into Salman's House!
One of the most shocking stories from the episode came when Salman Khan revealed how a female fan managed to sneak into his house at Galaxy Apartments — and almost got away with it.
Sharing the details with his trademark calm, Salman said:
“Yes, something recently happened. There were security guards outside. A woman told them she wanted to head up to the fourth floor and she entered. She rang the doorbell, and our servant opened it. The servant was shocked because the lady said, ‘Salman called me over.’”
He paused, smiled, and added:
“Obviously, I hadn’t. She was a fan. So, she was taken home.”
According to reports, the woman was 36 years old and claimed to know Salman personally. Thankfully, the situation was handled swiftly by his security team.
This strange real-life episode brought a sudden twist of drama into the laughter-filled show — reminding everyone just how wild and unpredictable celebrity fandom in India can be.
Sidhu’s Grand Return = Double Dhamaka On the Judge’s Couch
Among all the fun moments in the first episode, the most nostalgic and talked-about return was that of Navjot Singh Sidhu. After stepping away in 2019 and being replaced by Archana Puran Singh, Sidhu is now officially back — and this time, both are sharing the stage.
The audience loved the visual of two iconic judges sitting side-by-side, but as always, it was Kapil Sharma’s savage humour that stole the show.
Welcoming Sidhu back in his signature style, Kapil said:
“Paaji, after so many years, you are back in this chair, bhale hi gathbandhan ki sarkar bani ho. Netflix is spending big, but how do you feel?”
This light-hearted jibe at their “coalition government” had everyone in splits — and proved that the old-school magic between Kapil, Sidhu, and Archana is back in full force.
With Sidhu’s poetic punches and Archana’s iconic laughter, this judging duo might just become Season 3’s secret weapon.
The Great Indian Kapil Show: What's Next?
After this blockbuster start, fans are now eagerly waiting for what’s next. The upcoming episodes promise a star-studded lineup, including cricketers Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, and several surprise celebrity guests.
Adding to the excitement is the return of fan-favourites like Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Sunil Grover, and of course, Navjot Singh Sidhu — bringing the OG comic chaos back to Kapil’s world.
With this dream team reuniting and Netflix backing the madness, Season 3 is all set to be the wildest, funniest, and most unfiltered season yet.
