In the most recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, Kapil introduces the show and says that Raju Srivastava, a beloved friend and comedian, is the sole subject of this episode, which is then dedicated to paying him a heartfelt tribute. Raju Srivastava's close friends and coworkers Vijay Ishwarlal Pawar (VIP), Khayali Saharan, Ahsaan Qureshi, Sunil Pal, Rajiv Thakur, Navin Prabhakar, Rehman Khan, Suresh Albela, Rajeev Nigam, Rajat Sood, Jayvijay Sachan, and Kettan Singh are also invited.
When I heard that all these well-known comedians will be performing at our show, Raju was the first comedian that came to mind. However, as I continued, I realized that this was going to be a tribute to Raju. I must admit that the reason I got on my feet here was to personally honor Raju with my sincere gratitude. He and I have worked together on a number of films, and while I thought he was a superb actor, his popularity for stand-up comedy eventually overtook that. I believe he had exceptional comedic talent and was also an actor and a stand-up comedian. Because he left us too soon, it is heartbreaking. He visited India's Laughter Champion's set a week before being hospitalised and was photographed sitting in the Sarpanch chair. I want to live on this stage, and I find my fair share of happiness here, he declared while standing on the stage in the very studio where the group had been set up. He told me that I was born to make people laugh and that if I had to leave this world, I would want to do so by using humor. The only type of tribute Raju deserves is laughter, so I'm glad we're giving him that instead of crying.
In some flashback episodes from the show, Kapil Sharma plays clips of the late comedian Raju performing on the show's stage. Everyone starts to cry, laugh along with his jokes, and give him a standing ovation for his performance. The presence of so many comedians on the show at once, according to Kapil, is a first. Kapil continues by introducing everyone and saying how much he has learned from Raju and Sunil Pal.
Sunil plays the part of his well-known comic character Ratan Noora and continues, "In my hometown, government employees used to get alcohol on credit because the shop owners knew that every month on a specific date these people would get their salary, so they would reach their respective houses to get their money. People over there used to drink a lot for this very reason. By chance, I encountered Ratan Noora, a fascinating man who was a drunken taxi driver. Trust me when I say that I fell in love with that character and the way he spoke and behaved.
He said, "I never imagined we'd be gathered on a stage without him," as he thought back to his friend Raju. We've been on many journeys together, but today we're also travelling on his final one, which is a sad circumstance. But as Raju's friends and fellow comedians, we'll do everything in our power to carry on Raju Bhai's legacy and keep entertaining audiences.
After that, Kapil presses everyone to perform a skit based on one of their comic characters. Gudiya enters the stage dancing after a few comedic performances. Kapil is questioned by Gudiya about where the audience and famous people are seated. Can't you see the audience in the front seats and the famous people on stage, asks Kapil. "Ohhhh so these are the celebrities so then even Sumona is not a celebrity anymore," Gudiya continues.
Gudiya says she's delighted to see so many comics on the stage and queries Kapil as to why he wasn't told. When you appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, will you take the audience poll or the audience friend category?, comedian Gudiya asks, laughing heartily. Everyone makes fun of Gudiya, and she responds, "You guys keep it up, I'll sit here and listen."
"Aap se achhi toh aapki choti hainnnn," one of the comedians exclaims as he stands up. the phrase "ptne ki baad mat karo abhi aapki umar choti hain" An additional one reads, "aap patne ke liye ho tayaar sabh patatey kyun nahi iski chodo uski chodo aap apna ghatate kyun nahi."
Later, Gudiya requests that everyone shake a leg to the tune of the well-known "Kamariya lollipop" song before leaving the stage and bidding the audience and comedian’s farewell.
Comedian CIP performs his act on stage and declares, "I am very grateful to Bollywood for making me famous and getting me work." He mimics the crying that Shatrugan Sinha, Shah Rukh Khan, and other actors would have done as infants.
Rajuji was the one who captured the essence of the Awadhi language in the comedy for all of us, according to Rajiv Thakur, a close friend of Raju Srivastava. He claims that he was an exceptionally strong performer. In the show, Rajiv also does a small act and makes everyone laugh. He pays his respects to Raju on stage and remarks on how great a job Kapil did in inviting everyone to the show and making it a wonderful tribute to their friend Raju Srivastava.
The next upcoming episode will feature more laughter and enjoyment, says Kapil Sharma, who gets up and announces that these comedians will stay with them for the Sunday show as well.
