As the clock struck midnight and the world stepped into 2026 comedian and TV host Kapil Sharma did what he does best made people laugh. But this time the laughter came not from a stage or TV screen but from his sharp honest and hilarious reply to an online troll.
The actor-comedian welcomed the New Year with a mix of warmth and wit proving yet again that he knows exactly how to handle the internet’s love-hate relationship with him.

What sparked the online drama?
The moment began after a clip from The Great Indian Kapil Show went viral on social media. The episode featured women cricketers along with coach Amol Muzumdar. During the discussion Kapil made a light-hearted reference that didn’t sit well with one viewer.
The user accused Kapil of confusing real-life hockey legend Mir Ranjan Negi with the fictional character Kabir Khan from Chak De! India played by Shah Rukh Khan. The troll went on to mock Kapil calling him “ignorant” and questioning his knowledge.

Kapil’s savage yet calm reply
Instead of ignoring the comment or responding angrily Kapil chose humour — his strongest weapon.
He replied “Dear sir when did I say Kabir Khan? I said Shah Rukh Khan. And it was said in a humorous way which you won’t understand because aapka taana besura hai. Anyway happy new year. Stay happy and spread happiness.”
