Bollywood megastar Salman Khan created a viral storm prior to the highly anticipated Season 3 launch of Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show. As the first visitor, with his nephews in tow, Salman provided a riotous, irreverent take on modern-day relationships, divorce, and alimony that had the audience—and the internet—laughing out loud.

Key Highlights

Viral Clip: In a promotional clip running riot on social media, Salman Khan made a sardonic remark on how small misunderstandings now result in divorces. He said, "Pehle log ek dusre ke liye sacrifice karte the, ek tolerance ka factor tha. Ab raat ko ek taang aa jaati hai upar, khaarate liye jaate hain, uske upar divorce ho jaata hai. Chhoti si misunderstanding pe divorce ho jaata hai. Aur phir divorce toh chalo ho gaya, voh aadhe paise bhi leke chali jaati hai." ("Earlier, people made sacrifices. Now, even snoring or putting a leg over at night can end a marriage. And after the divorce, she takes half the money too!").

Audience Response: Not only did the punchline make Kapil Sharma, Archana Puran Singh, and Navjot Singh Sidhu laugh, but also the viewers at home on social media, who enjoyed the unfiltered honesty and sense of humor of Salman.
