The fourth week of The Great Indian Kapil Show delivered what many critics deemed the best episode of the season, featuring Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and her sister Karisma Kapoor.
Despite the episode’s high entertainment value, the show’s viewership hit an unexpected low, drawing only 900,000 viewers, marking the lowest ratings of the season.
Kapil Sharma show disappointing viewership
In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated episode did not yield the expected ratings, leading to a drop to the tenth spot in the global trending list.
Fans had anticipated that the appearance of the Kapoor sisters would result in significantly higher viewership numbers. Previous episodes, featuring prominent guests, had set a high bar: the premiere episode included Kareena’s sister-in-law, Alia Bhatt, while the second episode featured her husband, Saif Ali Khan, and the third showcased cricket star Rohit Sharma.

However, the episode with Kareena and Karisma failed to reach these figures, disappointing both the production team and fans.
