Can you guess who he is?
This week’s episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show did not begin like a regular celebrity chat. The moment Bhojpuri stars Manoj Tiwari, Pawan Singh and Dinesh Lal Yadav walked onto the stage, the energy in the studio shifted completely.nInstead of easing into jokes, the episode opened with loud cheers, Bhojpuri beats and instant banter. Host Kapil Sharma quickly matched the mood, slipping into his Netaji avatar and turning the couch into what felt like a small political rally. He teased Manoj Tiwari about his many roles, joking that he appears everywhere “jaha gaana aur janta hote hai.”
Manoj Tiwari took the jokes in his stride, moving easily between his roles as singer, actor and politician. The conversation flowed naturally, with quick jokes and an audience that stayed engaged. The episode soon settled into a comfortable pace, led by shared humour and personal stories. The trio also spoke about their journeys, briefly touching on their early days and how their lives changed over time. While the mood stayed light, a few moments were more reflective.
During a discussion sparked by a funny comment from Dinesh Lal Yadav, Manoj Tiwari spoke about his early life and the value of work. He shared that he once worked as a driver and explained why he does not see any job as small. He said, “Main bhi driver raha hoon apni zindagi mein. Maine teen saal driving karke padhayi ki hai.Main manta hoon joh bhi log kaam ko chota samajhte hain, kaam bhi unko ek din aone ayak chota samajhne lata hai.”
When Kapil asked Pawan Singh about his childhood, the singer-actor shared a simple but telling memory. He spoke about being just five years old and waiting at weddings in his village, hoping to get something to eat. The story was shared without drama, fitting naturally into the larger conversation about beginnings and persistence.
The Bhojpuri special stood out not because of big reveals, but because of how naturally the guests connected with the format. Between jokes, music and personal stories, the episode leaned more on lived experiences than spectacle.
