In a candid behind-the-scenes moment from The Great Indian Kapil Show, Kapil Sharma showcases his ability to laugh at himself, even when English becomes a stumbling block. As captured in a clip shared from the show, Kapil humorously grapples with the language while conversing with Ed Sheeran, yet manages to keep the atmosphere light and jovial.
During the backstage exchange, Kapil humorously laments his struggle with English, highlighting the perpetual influx of new words into the dictionary while he struggles to keep pace with learning. He jests about his reliance on cue cards to introduce Ed Sheeran, revealing his playful approach to the challenge.
Amidst the banter, Kapil is seen amusingly rummaging through his pockets for prepared lines written on chits, eliciting laughter from the audience. His candid admission of nervousness due to speaking in English prompts him to request a lower AC temperature to combat the resulting sweat. With a self-deprecating remark about his language skills, Kapil’s charm shines through, leaving both Ed Sheeran and the audience in stitches.
During his visit to India for a concert in Mumbai back in March, Ed Sheeran had a delightful experience with Kapil and his team on the show. Reflecting on his previous encounter with Shah Rukh Khan, he shared fond memories of jamming with the Bollywood icon’s family and learning some desi dance moves.
Recalling his interaction on the show, Sheeran expressed admiration for Shah Rukh Khan’s warmth and hospitality, despite his immense stature in the industry. He reminisced, “The last time I came here in 2017 we met, but this time it was just wonderful. He is such a nice guy, for how big he is, he is just lovely. I had a lot of fun; I met his family, and we jammed out some songs. They taught me how to dance a little bit.”
