On Saturday, The Great Indian Kapil Show‘s first episode premiered on Netflix, bringing back the same old charm that Kapil Sharma‘s previous shows had. The guests for the first episode were Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. While the three of them shared some very sweet and hilarious anecdotes, one very interesting rumour that Ranbir clarified was from his wedding with Alia Bhatt. During the episode, Kapil asked Ranbir to confirm if the rumor about Alia’s friends and cousins demanding Rs 11 or 12 crore for joota chupai at their wedding, and he bargained to bring it down to lakhs, was true.

Sharing details on the same, Ranbir clarified that Alia’s friends never asked for crores, the amount was in lakhs which he bargained and brought down to thousands. He added, “We got married at home only. So the shoes would be at home only even if they stole them (laughs).” Adding to this, Kapil shared how his wife Ginni’s sisters asked for Rs 11 lakh from him and he jokingly said, “I told them to keep your sister as well as the shoes. I knew she loved me so she would automatically come. As for the shoes, I would buy new ones.”
