Ahead of the launch of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 2, Kapil Sharma and the entire cast of the show had a warm and lively meet and greet with over thousands of jawans from the Border Security Forces (BSF) and their families

Shanivaar bahut jald banega Funnywaar because The Great Indian Kapil Show returns with the much-awaited Season 2 on Netflix, starting 21st September. This season brings a celebration of India’s vibrancy and culture, and to set the tone beautifully, the cast paid a special tribute to the real heroes at the Attari-Wagah Border who are a part of the Border Security Forces (BSF). In Amritsar, the team spent a pleasant evening with BSF jawans and their families, sharing laughter, songs, and stories.

During the meet & greet at the BSF camp in Amritsar, Kapil Sharma was asked what his alternate career choice would have been if he hadn’t become a comedian. In his inimitable style, he shared, “Mujhe toh definitely aap BSF, army ya phir police force mein dekhte. Aur mein jhooth nahi bol raha, meine BSF ki bharti ke liye ek baar try bhi kiya tha. Meine humesha he apne aas paas wardi waalon ko dekha hai, mere papa bhi police mein the. Mein police quarters mein raha bhi hoon in Amritsar. So definitely mein armed forces mein hota agar comedian nahi hota.” (I would have definitely joined the BSF, army or police force. I am not kidding, I even tried to join BSF once. All my life I have seen people in uniform around me, even my father was a policeman. I even lived in police quarters in Amritsar. So definitely, I would have joined the armed forces if I was not a comedian”.)

This response from Kapil attracted quite a fanfare and applause from the jawans and their families. The lovely evening ended with some celebratory dance moves and happy pictures to cherish the memories of meeting the wonderful BSF jawans and their families.
