The recent episode of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ featured a hilarious lineup of prominent Indian entrepreneurs, including BOAT’s Aman Gupta, MamaEarth’s Ghazal Alagh, OYO’s Ritesh Agarwal, and Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma, who joined Kapil Sharma for an entertaining evening filled with humor and inspiring stories. Kapil engaged with the guests about their journeys and unique traits, infusing his signature wit that left even the CEOs momentarily speechless. During the episode, Kapil highlighted Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s modest beginnings and inquired about his spending habits. Vijay responded that it is essential to remain in “best survival mode” while managing finances, admitting that his favorite way to relieve stress is by enjoying golgappe.
This led fans to speculate whether he follows the “paytm karo” mantra after achieving his goals and indulging in his favorite snacks.
When asked by Kapil what amount is sufficient for a comfortable life, Vijay stated, “1–2 lakh per month,” to which Kapil humorously replied, “Utna rakh ke baaki hume Paytm kar denge?” The conversation took a comedic turn as Vijay shared his experiences growing up in a small town and his struggles with English during his engineering studies, reminiscing about using both Hindi and English reference books, where one mentioned “pratirodh” and the other “resistance.” Kapil playfully remarked, “Suddenly mujhe realisation hua hai… mujhe toh itni Hindi bhi nahi aati!” Vijay commended Kapil, stating, “Aap iss baat ka ek example ho ke bhasha kabhi success ka maadhyam nahi hoti.” Ghazal Alagh contributed to the discussion by noting how India is increasingly becoming global, with numerous Indian CEOs at the helm of major international corporations.
The episode, filled with laughter, motivation, and plenty of golgappa banter, captivated fans on August 23rd on Netflix’s ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3.’
