The upcoming episode of Netflix’s popular comedy show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS)’, hosted by Kapil Sharma, promises a perfect blend of laughter and sporting glory. The show will feature the World Champion Indian Women’s Cricket Team, making it a highly anticipated weekend episode. However, fans have noticed the absence of vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, who does not appear in the promo video.
The new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show recently premiered on Netflix, with Priyanka Chopra Jonas gracing the first episode. The second episode, set to stream this weekend, will celebrate India’s historic Women’s World Cup triumph with several star players from the winning squad.
Smriti Mandhana Absent
While most key players are present, Smriti Mandhana’s absence has caught fans’ attention. According to sources, Mandhana is skipping the episode following her recent personal developments, including her separation from musician Palash Muchhal.
Star-Studded Line-up
The episode will feature team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, along with Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh, Harleen Deol, Radha Yadav, Pratika Rawal, and head coach Amol Muzumdar. Despite Mandhana’s absence, the promo suggests a fun-filled and emotional episode.
Smriti Remembered in the Promo
Interestingly, Smriti Mandhana is fondly mentioned in the promo. Harmanpreet Kaur recalls doing Bhangra before lifting the World Cup trophy, revealing that it was Smriti who encouraged her. Jemimah Rodrigues humorously adds,
“Harry didi never listens to us, but Smriti warned that if she didn’t do Bhangra, she wouldn’t talk to her for life.”
Fan Reactions and Streaming Details
Fans have reacted enthusiastically to the promo. While many expressed excitement, several comments highlighted, “Smriti is missing,” while others said, “This episode is going to be extremely entertaining.”
