The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 Concludes with a Star-Studded Finale
The fourth season of The Great Indian Kapil Show has officially come to an end, wrapping up with an entertaining and laughter-filled grand finale episode. The show welcomed the iconic father-son duo of veteran director David Dhawan and actor Varun Dhawan for this final installment, creating a memorable and hilarious experience for viewers.
David Dhawan Reflects on His Legendary Career
During the episode, David Dhawan opened up about his extensive and successful career in Bollywood. He spoke fondly about his memorable films and shared insights into working with legendary actors such as Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, and Salman Khan. The director highlighted his long-standing association with Govinda, revealing that they collaborated on an impressive 17 blockbuster films together.
David Dhawan passionately defended Govinda against criticism for being late on sets, praising his exceptional acting talent. He stated, "Seventeen films I've done with him and I believe Govinda is one of the best actors I have worked with, outstanding." He further explained that while people often complain about lateness, Govinda always completed his work efficiently, saying, "Log bolte hain na late aata hai sets par, aaj kaun nahi late aata hai, late aana chodi... Woh aata hai, apna kaam khatam kar ke jaata hai."
Varun Dhawan Shares Personal Anecdotes
Varun Dhawan provided a glimpse into his father's directing style and personal memories. He revealed that David Dhawan frequently reminisces about working with stars like Govinda, Salman Khan, and Anil Kapoor. Varun shared, "Ab joh bhi scene likha jaata hai unko yaad aati hai Chi Chi bhaiya ki (Govinda), If Chi Chi were here, how would he do it? So I tell him but I have to perform for my audience, who are little kids. So I have a very tall order to live up to. He always tells me, Salman would do it this way, Chi Chi aise karta, Anil aise karta... But then I have to figure, how would I perform."
He also humorously disclosed that his father would announce on the mic, "Thanda actor hai, Thanda actor hai," whenever an actor delivered a poor performance. David Dhawan added to this by praising character actors, noting, "You see most of the times, the hero forgets his lines. But the character actors are the best like Paresh Rawal, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, Anupam Kher."
Unforgettable Incident from "Partner"
David Dhawan narrated a remarkable incident from the film "Partner" involving Govinda. He described how Govinda would arrive on set, request his scene—often a four-page script—and thoroughly prepare while the shot was being set up. Govinda would then perform the scene in a single take, complete with acrobatics, and instruct David to edit it as desired. David recalled, "This was in Partner. He did all kinds of acrobatics in that scene; you can't imagine. Then he told me edit the scene however I wanted. Unbelievable. Govinda is incredible."
Tribute Performance by the Kapil Show Cast
The star cast of The Great Indian Kapil Show, including Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Sunil Grover, paid a heartfelt tribute to David Dhawan by performing a parody of a scene from his classic film, Coolie No. 1. This added a nostalgic and entertaining touch to the finale, celebrating David Dhawan's contributions to Indian cinema.
In a related note, the episode also featured Navjot Singh Sidhu revealing how he helped Kapil Sharma get his show, marking his return to the Kapil Show platform. This segment added depth to the show's history and connections within the entertainment industry.
