As India's Got Latent controversy is going on, internet finds out the video of Kapil Sharma's "parents kabaddi joke"

A Viral video of Kapil Sharma's joke from 2023 has sparked some questions after a recent remark from Ranveer Allahbadia on India's Got Latent.

An old video of Kapil Sharma has surfaced online amid the controversy over Ranveer Allahbadia's comment on India's Got Latent. The clip is from 2023 from Kapil's The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony. It has more than 3 million views on Instagram in a single span of a day. 

The clip was posted by IG account @x.memez1 on Wednesday, In the post we can see that Kapil is cracking a joke about the craze for cricket among the younger generation. Kapil, in his opening bit for the February 19, 2023 episode said that while students about waking up early to study for exams, they don't mind doing it for an early cricket match. “Kai toh itne shaukeen hote hain, subah 2 baje hi uth jaate hain. Cricket dekhne ke liye. Cricket ka match shuru hona hota hai 4 baje. "Phir ye maa baap ki kabaddi dekhke so jaate hain" "(Some are such fans that they wake up at 2 am for a 4 am match. So they watch their parents wrestle and go back to sleep),” Kapil says. The clip has captured the shocking reactions of the audience and guest Archana Puran Singh. In the original video, which is available on SET India's channel, Kapil also tried to clarify what he meant. “Matlab maa baap ladrahe hote haina (I mean parents are often fighting),” he said.

@x.memez1 wrote in his post, “Why this issue wasn't raised?” The video got hundreds of comments with many expressing shock at how the joke went under the radar two years ago and others defending Kapil. “And people say family shows hai ye,” read a comment. “I highly respected Kapil Sharma but ya banda kitna bhi grande jokes mare ise koi criticize nahi karega because iske puche pura Bollywood ka haath hai but agar koi independence/self-made banda ya kare toh pura India use against ho jata hai 🙏🏼 ( Kapil Sharma show is family show and latent is adult show and show ke starting main bhi disclaimer hota hai),” another said.

“Ye toh mazak tha bhai hasi toh ani chahiye baki samay ho kare woh vulgarity hai,” commented another person. “Wo are to comedy, samay are to vulgarity.”

Others said that Kapil's joke was more subtle and that just because one person made the joke, doesn't mean others are free to do it too. "Saying directly & indirectly is both different things that are also called "limits"," wrote a person."
