Opening up about missing from The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, he told Pinkvilla, “Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta, obviously aapko nikala gaya hoga (No one takes such a long break from a big show, obviously, you must have been removed)."

He then laughed it off as a joke and added that some dates didn’t match because they were asking him to come in between. He shared, “I did one episode, but then I didn’t have dates for the next. For me, once I’ve made a commitment, I want to stick to it. They also have a strict time constraint — the episode has to be just 55 minutes. With Kiku, Krushna, and the guest already having so much to do, there’s very little space left for you.”

Meanwhile, the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show 3 was graced by Salman Khan. The upcoming episode will be attended by Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha.
