Mumbai: Actress Kareena Kapoor called actor and comedian Kapil Sharma an “absolute star” during a warm exchange on social media on Saturday, shortly after she and husband Saif Ali Khan featured on the latest episode of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show’.
Kapil took to his official Instagram Stories and shared a selfie with Kareena, Saif and the rest of the crew. In his note, he admitted he had never imagined having so much fun with the couple.
“Dear @kareenakapoorkhan n @saifalikhanpataudi never knew you guys n so much fun together…thank you for the beautiful fun episode…Love you both (sic),” the caption read.
Kareena reshared the post on her official account and replied, “Kapil you are an absolute star and we love you lots too (sic)”.

The episode’s biggest talking point came from Bebo herself. She revealed that Saif proposed to her not once, not twice, but thrice before she agreed to marry him.
“He proposed to me in Mumbai, he proposed to me in Greece and he proposed to me in Paris, and that’s when I finally said ‘Yes’,” Kareena said.
Saif responded with his trademark humour: “If you had just said yes in Mumbai, I would have saved a lot of money.”
The Desi Ghee Factor
Asked how they continue to look “young and fresh” even after 14 years of marriage, Saif credited the regular consumption of desi ghee. Kareena added that it is a staple in their household and that their children, Taimur and Jeh, also consume it regularly.
Saif then shared another secret: “She doesn’t only eat it but even rub it on her feet at night”. Kareena agreed, saying, “It helps you so well.”
Why It Matters
Kareena and Saif are among Bollywood’s most closely watched couples, yet they are known for keeping much of their personal life private. A rare, relaxed glimpse into their courtship and home routine is exactly the kind of moment that travels fast online. The post-show exchange between Kapil and Kareena also extends the episode’s life beyond broadcast, turning a single appearance into a multi-day social media conversation.
Industry Impact
For celebrity talk shows, candid anecdotes now matter as much as film promotions. Personal revelations, like a three-city proposal story, give clips higher shareability than standard promotional chatter. Kapil’s habit of posting behind-the-scenes moments with guests, and stars responding publicly, has become a key part of how such episodes build buzz.
Audience Sentiment
The desi ghee remark is likely to strike a chord with Indian households, where ghee remains a traditional kitchen essential. Saif’s quip about the cost of multiple proposals adds the relatable humour that fans have come to expect from him.
What began as a light-hearted episode has turned into one of the week’s feel-good celebrity moments, with Kareena’s “absolute star” compliment capping it off.
