Overview
- The exchange occurred on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5 during a promotional appearance for Drishyam: The Conclusion, which multiple outlets reported on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
- After Kapil teased Devgn about filming in Goa and mentioned feni, Devgn replied, “Teri life mein feni ne bahut gadbad ki hai pehli hi, yaad rakhna,” directly referencing Kapil’s past drinking.
- Kapil immediately denied drinking feni on air and fellow panelist Archana Puran Singh joined the teasing, keeping the moment in a jocular tone.
- News18, India Today and NDTV all quoted the exchange verbatim and framed it as promotional-stage banter without reporting any formal apology or escalation.
- Feni is a Goan distilled spirit and the line referenced a period Kapil has publicly discussed, when heavy drinking led to impulsive behaviour including a 2022 tweet; the remark is likely to shape short-term publicity for the film rather than produce a sustained controversy.
