After a long hiatus, Kapil Sharma has returned with the show that has been made India laugh for years. The debut episode of The Kapil Sharma Show season 2 aired today. It was everything that we expect from the comedy show. There are some changes in the cast and crew like Sunil Grover is not returning, and Salman Khan is on board as producer. As one of the first joke, Kapil takes a dig at his own wedding to Ginny Chatrath and said that he only knew one girl whom he married. And that he only now realising there is plenty of fish in the sea.

Chandan Prabhakar makes entry and Kapil jokes about how he wasn't even cute as a baby. Chandu then asks the million dollar question "Where were you Kapil, all this while?". Kapil says that he wanted to see Chandan stand on his feet, and he rather saw him on his knees on Juhu beach. Chandan says he was teaching Yoga. Bharti Singh Waited for Nine Months to be Part of Kapil Sharma's Show.

Kiku Sharda enters on the stage in his usual swagger. He also cracks a joke at the expense of the show wrapping up early last season.

Then, we have the new entrant Bharti Singh on the stage. For a change, Kapil doesn't make fun of her weight. But Kiku is not spared. The jokes are funny, as long as the one cracking it remember to draw a line. Sumon Chakraborty arrives on the stage to elevate the humour quotient as Kapil's punching bag.

Ranveer Singh appears as the first guest on the show, to promote his recently released movie Simmba. Kapil jokes about being disheartened that Deepika Padukone married Ranveer. Ranveer reveals while talking about the wedding reveals that every decision was taken by Deepika, whether it was the wedding dress, location, or anything else.

Kapil and Ranveer make fun of Sidhu Paji for his cricketing debacle. The jokes on Deepika-Ranveer wedding and Kapil's broken heart continue after Rohit Shetty enters.

All in all, it was quite a fun episode of The Kapil Sharma Show season 2. It reminded us of how badly we were missing Kapil and his shenanigans. In tomorrow's episode, we will see Sara Ali Khan join the gang on the stage.
