In the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show 2, Bollywood stars Kajol, Kriti Sanon, and popular TV actor Shaheer Sheikh took the stage to promote their recent film Do Patti. The episode saw plenty of fun banter, with Kapil Sharma sparking laughs and surprises throughout the evening. Kapil brought Kajol and Kriti onto the stage, joking, “One of you is someone I liked since my college days, and the other is the one who’s liked me since college.”
The spotlight soon turned to Shaheer Sheikh, whom Kapil playfully called “Indonesia’s Shahrukh Khan.” Intrigued, Kapil asked Shaheer, “Is it true they call you ‘Indonesia’s Shahrukh Khan’?” Shaheer responded with a smile, explaining, “Yes, it’s true. Shahrukh Khan is a huge icon in Indonesia, so when I started working there in some shows and films, they began calling me by that name.”
Shaheer’s Rise to Fame in Indonesia
Shaheer Sheikh’s popularity in Indonesia is not just a recent phenomenon. During his career peak in India, he spent a few years working in Indonesia, where he became a beloved star. His role as Arjun in the Indian TV series Mahabharat was a significant factor in his growing Indonesian fanbase, and the show’s success in the country established Shaheer as a major star. Following Mahabharat, he continued to appear in Indonesian films and TV shows, further building his fanbase and eventually earning the title “Indonesia’s Shahrukh Khan.”
Kriti Sanon and Kajol Join in the Fun
Kapil didn’t stop with Shaheer. He also teased Kriti Sanon and Kajol, diving into some fun questions about their roles in Do Patti. Kriti, who is taking on a double role for the first time, playfully ribbed Kajol on why she hadn’t tried playing a cop character before now, even though she is married to Ajay Devgan, who famously played a cop in Singham. Kajol, who portrays a police officer in Do Patti, laughed off the lighthearted teasing.
Do Patti Premieres on Netflix
The much-anticipated Do Patti, produced by Kriti Sanon and starring Kajol in a pivotal role, premiered on Netflix on October 25. The film has been receiving positive feedback, adding another success to the filmographies of both leading ladies.
