Valentine’s Day receives a full Bollywood-style makeover on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show as the cast of O Romeo — Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Farida Jalal, and director Vishal Bhardwaj, take over Kapil Sharma’s stage with charm, laughter, and plenty of romantic banter. The atmosphere is festive from the start, filled with playful teasing, heartfelt confessions, and the signature humor the show is known for.
Shahid Kapoor makes a funny confession
The conversation quickly turns cheeky when Kapil casually asks Shahid whether direct messages still reach him after marriage. Shahid flashes his trademark grin and quips, “Bachon ki mummy ko pata chal jaata hai yaar,” instantly sending the audience into fits of laughter. Keeping the romantic theme alive, he goes on to share a hilarious memory of his first crush. Shahid reveals that he once wrote her name on his hand using a compass, only for the wound to turn septic later. The anecdote draws roaring reactions, with the actor jokingly proving that love can sometimes be literally painful.
Triptii Dimri brings a softer note to the conversation when asked about her college love-letter phase. With a shy smile, she admits, “Likha kabhi nahi… par padha bohot saare,” creating a nostalgic, filmi moment that resonates with anyone who remembers the thrill of secret admirers and handwritten notes.
Avinash Tiwary isn’t spared either. Kapil playfully puts him on the spot with the teasing question, “Career ke peeche bhaag rahe ho ya Triptii ke?” The remark sparks blushes and laughter, cleverly referencing the duo’s popular on-screen collaborations in projects like Laila Majnu and Bulbbul. The lighthearted ribbing adds to the Valentine’s spirit, blending romance with comedy.
Interesting segment of debate with Kiku Sharda and Sunil Grover
The fun escalates when Kiku Sharda enters as an overprotective saas, while Sunil Grover transforms into an overly emotional bahu, turning the stage into a parody of dramatic daily soaps. Just when the romance seems to peak, the set shifts into a mock “TGIKS News Debate,” with Sunil’s fiery anchor avatar pulling the cast into a comical prime-time showdown about love.
With roses, gossip, and nonstop laughter, the Valentine’s special perfectly balances romance and humor. The episode celebrates love in all its forms, sweet, awkward, dramatic, and hilarious, delivering an entertaining ride packed with Bollywood flair and Kapil’s unmistakable comic timing.
