Did Akshay Kumar just take over from Kapil Sharma as the host for the Season finale episode of Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show?

He can do stunts, his comic timing never falters, he makes fun of everyone and he doesn’t look a day over 25. We are definitely talking about this week’s guest Akshay Kumar aka Khiladi kumar who took over the season 3 finale of The Great Indian Kapil Show and left Kapil and his parivaar speechless and the audience in splits.

For every joke Kapil had prepared for his guest, the rebuttal was 3 times more mazzedaar proving that he’s not just Khiladi, but also Hassee ka Khiladi as well. When Kapil poked fun at him for showing up late in Season 3 despite his punctual image, Akshay quipped, “Arre, mujhe pehle paise nahi mile!” The banter continued as Kapil questioned if Akshay’s long list of films meant more talent or more zaroorate, and Akshay cheekily turned it around, “Your show’s been on for three seasons on Netflix, plus you have 2 films and now a new café… tu bata, tere talent zyada hai ya zaroorate?” Well played, Akki, well played!!

The episode also shines a spotlight on Akshay’s daredevil streak.
