The upcoming episode of Netflix's "The Great Indian Kapil Show" is generating significant buzz with the appearance of K-pop sensation Jackson Wang alongside celebrated OTT actors Jaideep Ahlawat, Pratik Gandhi, Vijay Varma, and Jitendra Kumar. The episode, set to stream on July 12, 2025, promises a delightful mix of laughter, candid moments, and unexpected dance moves.

A Crossover of Cultures

Jackson Wang's appearance marks a unique crossover between South Korean pop culture and Indian mainstream entertainment. A promo video circulating online shows Wang interacting with the cast and crew, sparking excitement among fans. This isn't Wang's first interaction with India; he previously visited the country in June 2025 to promote his album, "Magic Man 2". His charisma and genuine interaction with fans have made him a beloved international celebrity in India.

Wang's presence on the show is expected to bridge cultural gaps between East and South Asia, appealing to a younger demographic that consumes K-Pop and Korean dramas. His appearance is also likely to boost the show's viewership internationally, particularly in Southeast Asia, where both K-pop and Bollywood are popular.

Laughter and Revelations

The episode will feature inspiring stories and unexpected revelations from the four Indian actors. From struggling actors to streaming superstars, the guests will share moments that shaped their journeys to fame.

Jitendra Kumar, known as Jeetu Bhaiya from "Kota Factory," reveals his IIT background, which surprises Kapil Sharma. Vijay Varma shares his story of running away from home to join the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). Jaideep Ahlawat adds that he and Vijay had dreamt of being on screen together.

Garba and Dance Tutorials

Adding to the fun, Jackson Wang will be seen teaching dance moves to the actors. In a hilarious turn, Pratik Gandhi quips that Wang's dance steps resemble "Garba," an Indian dance form, leaving everyone in splits. A promo shows Jaideep Ahlawat unable to resist, declaring "Arey, garba hai ye toh?", further amplifying the laughter.
