Kapil Sharma Defends ‘Chak De’ Quip About Coach Amol Muzumdar After Criticism on X

The pushback centered on the film’s link to hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi.

Overview

  • A recent Netflix episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show featured the World Cup–winning India women’s cricket team alongside head coach Amol Muzumdar.
  • During the segment, Kapil Sharma asked if Muzumdar felt like Shah Rukh Khan from Chak De! India, drawing a playful “Kabir Muzumdar” joke from Jemimah Rodrigues.
  • A clip of the exchange resurfaced on X, where a user berated Sharma for not crediting Mir Ranjan Negi and called him an “idiot” and “clown.”
  • Sharma replied that he never said “Kabir Khan,” clarified he referenced Shah Rukh Khan in jest, and wished the critic a Happy New Year.
  • He reposted a lawyer’s supportive comment and joked to a fan that he replied from the toilet, keeping the back-and-forth light and contained to social media.
