The Unforgettable Laughter Riot: Sunil Grover & Krushna Abhishek’s HILARIOUS SRK-Salman Mimicry Ft. Kartik Aaryan on TGIKS
The grand finale of Season 1 of “The Great Indian Kapil Show” (TGIKS) delivered a comedy spectacle for the ages, proving that when the biggest names in comedy unite, magic—or in this case, pure pandemonium—happens. The episode, featuring Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan and his candid mother, Mala, was already set for a blast of revelations and family banter. However, it was the explosive collaboration between comedy titans Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek, impersonating the two biggest superstars of Indian cinema—Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Salman Khan—that brought the house down, earning a standing ovation and being hailed as the “best moment of the season.”
This particular sketch wasn’t just a performance; it was a masterclass in observational comedy, leveraging years of public knowledge about the two superstars and filtering it through the absurd and brilliant lens of two of India’s finest comedians.
The Masterminds and Their Iconic Avatars
The core brilliance of the act lay in the meticulous and hilarious character choices made by Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek. They didn’t just imitate; they personified the most current and popular public images of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
- Sunil Grover as Salman Khan: Sunil perfectly channelled the superstar’s persona, specifically adopting the mannerisms from his long stint as the host of the reality show Bigg Boss. He brought the signature casual swagger, the slightly dismissive yet charming tone, and the famously quick irritation that forms the core of Salman’s on-screen and off-screen image.
- Krushna Abhishek as Shah Rukh Khan: Krushna was an unstoppable force of energy, embodying SRK’s look from his blockbuster film Pathaan. His portrayal was a manic mix of the star’s hyper-articulate speech, trademark charming energy, and the constant, hilarious integration of the “Jhoome Jo Pathaan” hook step into almost every single movement.
The ‘Karan Arjun’ Family Sketch: A Dysfunctional Delight
The backdrop for this epic showdown of mimicry was a brilliantly conceived sketch that brought the two ‘Khans’ together as two dysfunctional sons, reunited under one roof by their ever-demanding ‘mother,’ a character hilariously played by Kiku Sharda, who was dressed as the iconic Rakhee Gulzar from the film Karan Arjun, continuously calling out “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge!”
The sketch revolved around the everyday frustrations of the sons dealing with a mother’s constant, over-the-top demands, providing a relatable yet absurd comic premise.
The Comedic Gold Moments:
- The Salman Swag and Catchphrase: Sunil Grover’s Salman Khan was a genius of minimalism. He barely had to speak to generate an explosion of laughter. His movements—the way he walked, the specific hand gestures, and his aloof expressions—were spot on. The biggest hit with the audience was the frequent, drawling delivery of Salman’s famous, unedited reality TV catchphrase, **”I don’t like this s*, man,” which he used to shut down his brother, his mother, or any perceived nonsense on stage, leaving the audience, and Kartik, in stitches.
- The SRK Pathaan Panache: Krushna Abhishek’s Shah Rukh Khan was all about infectious, restless energy. He was constantly performing, talking in paragraphs, and trying to deflect from the argument by suddenly breaking into the Pathaan dance moves. The repetitive, and ultimately desperate, use of the hook step as a comedic weapon was a stroke of genius, causing so much laughter that even Krushna had to break character a couple of times.
Featuring Kartik Aaryan: The Reaction Was Pure Gold
The presence of Kartik Aaryan and his mother, Mala, was instrumental in gauging the success of the act. As guests, they became the perfect comedic sounding boards. Both were seen thoroughly enjoying the performance, but Kartik’s reaction, in particular, became a highlight in itself.
The young star was seen “laughing out loud,” at one point even “pounding his foot on the ground with laughter” in pure, unadulterated joy. Their appreciation was genuine, highlighting that the mimicry struck a chord not just with fans, but with industry insiders who understood the subtle nuances being played out on stage.
A particularly hilarious moment in the sketch involved a meta-joke referencing the guest himself. The mother character lamented that while Kartik Aaryan had gifted his own mother a car, her ‘sons’ (SRK and Salman) couldn’t even manage to get her simple gold bangles. Sunil’s Salman dryly rebutted, “At least, I gave you brass bangles. He gifted his mother a car made of copper… that too, a mini-copper car,” a joke which expertly combined a reference to the guest with the established dynamic of the sketch.
A Season-Defining Performance
The sheer quality of the sketch was recognised by everyone, including the show’s host. Kapil Sharma, rarely one to hold back his praise, called the combined performance by Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek the “season’s best moment” as they wrapped up the first season of TGIKS.
What made this collaboration so special was the blending of two distinct comedy styles: Sunil’s controlled, understated, and observational humour juxtaposed against Krushna’s high-octane, physical, and over-the-top antics. Together, they created a harmonious explosion of laughter that not only paid a hilarious tribute to two Bollywood legends but also reaffirmed their status as the industry’s unparalleled masters of character-based comedy. The segment stands as a perfect example of what a star cast on TGIKS can achieve when they are given the freedom to flex their creative muscles.
