A video clip featuring Kapil Sharma where he makes a joke about parents’ kabaddi, which was recorded during a February 2023 episode of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, has recently resurfaced online, drawing attention amid the ongoing controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia and his show ‘India’s Got Latent’.
The video, shared by Instagram account @x.memez1 on Wednesday, showcases Kapil commenting on the extreme enthusiasm that young cricket fans exhibit, even at the expense of their sleep schedules, and watch their parents play ‘kabaddi’.
