Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma says Rs 2 lakh is enough for a good life; Kapil Sharma responds, ‘Why don’t you Paytm us rest of the money?’

When the guests arrived, Kapil teased them by saying: “All of you had the same idea to become famous in 192 countries—let’s go on Kapil’s show.”

The conversation then turned to Ghazal Alagh, whose brand MamaEarth has Shilpa Shetty as its ambassador. Kapil quipped, “Since you make baby products, was bringing Shilpa Shetty on board a strategy so that dads would be the buyers?”

Ritesh Agarwal followed with a story from OYO’s early days: “When I first approached a hotelier, people couldn’t even pronounce OYO. One of them, named Rajesh, kept calling it ‘YoYo.’” To this, Kapil said, “Careful, Honey Singh might ask for his share!”

Meanwhile, Aman Gupta thanked Archana Puran Singh for unintentionally contributing to BOAT’s R&D. “Archana ji, your laughter has been part of our noise-cancellation testing in the factory.”

The audience also joined in on the fun. One woman shared her “startup idea”: a gadget to keep track of her husband. Kapil instantly retorted, “Just take Ritesh’s number. If your husband ever goes to his hotel, he’ll inform you directly.”

Later, Kapil Sharma turned to Vijay Shekhar Sharma with a serious-sounding question. “Vijay bhai, how much money do you think one needs to live a good life?” The Paytm founder calmly replied, “Not more than Rs 1–2 lakh.” Kapil shot back, “Why don’t you keep that much and send the rest to us through Paytm?”
