The Kapil Sharma Show: Ashish Vidyarthi reveals how he is misidentified in public; shares ‘I have been called Girish Karnad, Ashutosh Rana’

The latest episode of The Kapil Sharma Show featured Bollywood villains Ashish Vidyarthi, Mukesh Rishi, Yashpal Sinha, and Abhimanyu Singh. Host Kapil Sharma entered the stage decked up in black attire. He told Archana Puran Singh about how a villain plays a crucial role in the movie. He also joked and called Archana a 'lady villain'. Everyone laughed.

He then welcomed the bad boys of Bollywood. The villains made their way to the stage by dancing on 'Khalnaayak hun main'. He joked and said, "Aap logo ka swaagat karna hi padega nahi toh aap humein utha lenge kyuki humaari heroine (Archana) toh aapse uthaayi jaayengi nahi (We had no choice but to welcome you otherwise you would have kidnapped me as you can't pick up the heroine)".

Kapil pulled Mukesh's legs and said, "Inko dekh kar aisa lagt hai jaise fauji apni beti ke liye rishta dekhne aaye hai (His appearance looked like an Army personnel came to see a suitable groom for his daughter)".

Kapil joked about his name 'Mukesh Rishi' and calls it 'Ayurvedic'. He then said about how his name is in contrast with the characters he played on-screen.

Kapil shared how Ashish Vidyarthi completed 30 years in the industry. Kapil complained that even after being in the industry for such a long time, he didn't came to his show. He said, "Humaare show pe aaj aaye hai aap, kya 'vidyarthi' se principal banne ka wait kar rahe thein aap? (You came to our show today, were you waiting to be a principal )"?

Kapil asked him if fans get confused and call him by different names. Ashish replied, "My name is Ashish Vidyarthi. Many people don't know that and sometimes it becomes a problem. Whenever I travel, people come for autographs and selfies and call me Ashutosh Rana.

He then recalls an incident where a fan called him by a unique name 'Sadashiv Puri' which is a combined name of Sadashiv Amrapurkar and Amrish Puri.

He also shared a recent incident that happened in Himachal. He said that a man came with a kid and asks him to click his pictures. He then tells his kid that the actor's name is Girish Karnad. Everyone cracked up.

He then talks about Ashish's vlog. He shared how the actor posts pictures of the restaurants and gives feedback. Kapil asked him if he is doing this for his passion or he wants to save money.

Archana shared how her husband Parmeet is a good friend of Ashish Vidyarthi. She also said that Ashish is a motivational speaker. Kapil joked, "Biwi ke saamne motivational speaker ban paate ho ya 2 peg chaayie hote hai?"

Yashpal then shared about the drawbacks of being a villain. He said that the biggest drawback of being a villain is that women don't come close to him and stand at a distance while clicking pictures.

Archana praised Kapil and his team for creating magic on the stage. She gave a standing ovation and said that Kapil keeps pushing his limits. Kapil then mocks Siddhu and said 'Lage toh Siddhu bhi hai, kuch kar paa rahe hai kya?" Everyone cracked up.

Krushna Abhishek entered the stage dressed up as a bride in a 'doli'. Her father asks her to maintain the family's dignity by not compromising with her respect. Sapna jokingly asked if he is Pushpa and is adamant about not bowing down. She goes ahead and said that she has finally found her Mukesh 'chaawa' from Nalasopara.

She then asks for a change of Rs 500 from Mukesh because of his dialogue, 'Sab jaante hain mera naam hai bulla, aur main hamesha rakhta hun khulla.'

Kapil also celebrated his birthday and cut the cake in the presence of his guests.
