The spotlight is on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Kapil Sharma’s latest venture on Netflix. The first episode featured none other than the Kapoors—Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. However, fans couldn’t help but wonder: Why was Alia Bhatt conspicuously absent from this star-studded episode?

The Original Plan

Initially, the makers had envisioned inviting the Kapoor family—Ranbir, Alia, Neetu, and Riddhima. The plan was to capture the essence of Kapoor’s camaraderie, both on and off-screen. Kapil Sharma and the cast were willing to adjust their schedules to accommodate Alia’s availability. After all, she is an integral part of the Kapoor clan.

Alia’s Unwillingness

Despite the efforts to align schedules, Alia Bhatt was not keen on participating. A close friend of the Kapoor family revealed that Netflix’s budget constraints played a role. Every week, a substantial amount is allocated for the guests featured on The Great Indian Kapil Show. However, it appears the amount was insufficient to afford Alia and Ranbir.

Paid Appearances

Unlike the previous show, where stars made appearances for free to promote their movies, this time, they are being compensated for their presence. The new format ensures that celebrities receive payment for featuring in the episodes. Perhaps this financial aspect influenced Alia’s decision.

The Missing Piece

Kapoors shared anecdotes and laughter on the show, Alia’s absence left a void. Fans missed the chemistry between Ranbir and Alia—the real-life couple who have often made headlines. While Ranbir and Neetu Kapoor charmed the audience, Alia’s absence became the mystery of the hour.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Continues

As the show unfolds, we eagerly await more star-studded episodes. Will Alia Bhatt make an appearance in the future? Only time will tell. Until then, the mystery remains—an enigma that adds to the intrigue of The Great Indian Kapil Show.

In a world full of entertainment, where secrets and surprises abound, Alia Bhatt’s absence becomes a talking point—a puzzle waiting to be solved.
