The festive season gets a dose of laughter as The Great Indian Kapil Show begins its fifth season with the cast of Drishyam: The Conclusion. Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Jaideep Ahlawat and director Abhishek Pathak join Kapil Sharma for the opening episode. The conversation brings together festival memories, childhood stories and some interesting moments from the stars’ lives.
Kapil Sharma asks the cast about their favourite festivals, leading to several personal and nostalgic answers. Mrunal Jadhav says she loves Holi because she enjoys getting drenched in colours. Shriya Saran reveals that her love for Holi is so strong that she even celebrated the festival during her wedding. Ajay Devgn chooses celebrations that bring friends and family together, highlighting the happiness of having loved ones around. Ishita Dutta picks Durga Puja, reflecting her Bengali roots, and talks about the many pandals that come alive across Mumbai during the festival.
Director Abhishek Pathak chooses Diwali as his favourite festival and shares that he prefers celebrating it without crackers. Jaideep Ahlawat, meanwhile, goes back to his village memories while talking about Holi. He recalls celebrating the festival there and remembers Lath Maar Holi as one of his favourite traditions.
The discussion then moves from festivals to childhood memories. Kapil and the cast talk about growing up at a time when clothes were often altered, reused and passed down as children grew older. The conversation also gives a glimpse into Shriya Saran’s childhood in Haridwar and the responsibilities children often had during weddings and family celebrations.
Remembering those days, Shriya says, “ Chhote sheheron mein saare kaam karwate they. Humare yahan aisa sab hota hai. Ye saaf karo, yaha phool ka banao, yaha rangoli banao, gobar ka lep lagao, ye sab kiya hai maine! ”
The episode brings together festival traditions, childhood memories and stories from different parts of India. The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5 opens with the cast of Drishyam: The Conclusion, giving viewers a look at their personal experiences beyond the film.
