Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, known for his quick wit and charming one-liners, often playfully teases his co-stars. However, there was one memorable instance when his attempt to poke fun at comedian Kapil Sharma backfired spectacularly, leaving the King Khan himself momentarily speechless. This hilarious exchange unfolded during an awards show where the two entertainment giants were co-hosting, much to the delight of the audience. What began as a light-hearted jest from SRK about TV actors quickly escalated into a hilarious battle of wits, with Kapil delivering a comeback that not only silenced Shah Rukh but also turned the tables on him in a truly unforgettable manner. The incident highlighted the sharp comedic timing of both personalities, proving that even the Badshah of Bollywood can meet his match when it comes to a verbal sparring session.

The comedic duel ignited when Shah Rukh, discussing the box office success of Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’, remarked, “Here, Aamir-Salman wore loincloths, rolled in the mud, and earned 400-500 crore rupees.” Kapil, quick to seize the moment, then asked him, “Who controls the running of these films?” To which Shah Rukh replied, “It’s all in the hands of the projectionist. Now, what can I teach these TV people about films? They’ve come from TV, what do they understand about movies?” This seemingly innocent jab at Kapil’s television background opened the door for the comedian’s epic retort. Without missing a beat, Kapil reminded Shah Rukh, “You started with something grand like Titanic, didn’t you? You also started with TV! I at least started with Sony Channel, but you started with a government channel (Doordarshan)!” This pointed comeback, referencing Shah Rukh’s early career in Doordarshan serials like ‘Fauji’, ‘Doosra Keval’, ‘Dil Dariya’, and ‘Circus’ before his Bollywood debut in 1992’s ‘Deewana’, brought the house down and certainly left Shah Rukh without an immediate answer.
