Yesterday’s episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show 2 was a star-studded affair, featuring the iconic Sinha family. Legendary actor Shatrughan Sinha, his wife Poonam Sinha, their daughter Sonakshi Sinha, and son-in-law Zaheer Iqbal graced the stage, creating an unforgettable evening. From Shatrughan’s dramatic “Khamosh” to Sonakshi’s witty quips, the episode was packed with laughter, emotional revelations, and nostalgic anecdotes.
When Kapil introduced Sonakshi and Zaheer Iqbal, Sonakshi funnily quipped that whoever wants to get married they should appear on Kapil’s show and call him ‘bhaiya’. She then introduced Zaheer Iqbal to Kapil saying, “Bhaiya meet my saiyaan.”
Shatrughan Sinha’s Iconic “Khamosh” and Love Story with Poonam
Shatrughan Sinha made a dramatic entrance with his iconic catchphrase, “Khamosh!” and immediately set the stage for an engaging conversation. Reflecting on his early days, he shared a memorable anecdote about meeting Poonam for the first time during a train journey. He admitted he was upset after being reprimanded by his family and noticed Poonam crying as well. “I guess her mother had scolded her too,” he said with a smile, reminiscing about the moment that stayed with him.
The couple opened up about their 14-year-long courtship, filled with challenges and love. Shatrughan humorously revealed that a pandit had warned Poonam before their marriage about facing seven and a half years of tough times. Poonam, laughing, admitted she didn’t take the prediction too seriously. Despite rumors about Shatrughan’s past relationships creating occasional tension, their strong bond and understanding carried them through.
Sonakshi’s Sentimental Wedding Gesture
Sonakshi Sinha shared an emotional memory from her wedding to Zaheer Iqbal. She revealed that she wore her mother’s wedding saree to honor family traditions and strengthen her connection to her parents’ love story. The gesture added a touch of sentimentality to the celebrations and highlighted the importance of family ties.
Zaheer Iqbal’s Nerve-Wracking Proposal to Shatrughan
Zaheer shared his own challenges in approaching Shatrughan to ask for Sonakshi’s hand in marriage. He admitted that the actor’s 6-8 bodyguards made the task intimidating. Laughing, Zaheer recounted how he told Sonakshi it was time to speak to their parents. Sonakshi agreed but asked him to take the first step. Zaheer cheekily responded, “Why should I? I’ve already told my father. You tell yours!” Sonakshi laughed as she admitted he had a point and took the conversation forward with her father, who was delighted with the news.
Zaheer also joked about feeling caught off guard by some of the stories shared. “I thought this was a family episode. What’s happening here?” he quipped as Shatrughan recounted advice from Dharmendra, who once told him to be a one-woman man—at least at a time. Poonam playfully emphasized, “At a time,” earning laughter and applause.
Kapil’s playful questioning brought out more gems. When Archana Puran Singh asked Poonam if Shatrughan had ever apologized after an argument, she burst into laughter and said, “Him saying sorry? That would be a miracle!” Shatrughan, unfazed, smiled and shrugged, winning more laughs from the audience.
The Sinha family’s candidness, warmth, and humor made the episode a standout. From Shatrughan’s iconic charisma to Sonakshi’s touching revelations, every moment resonated with the audience. Fans were treated to an unforgettable mix of love, laughter, and family magic, making this episode one for the books.
