In the video, Kapil says, “In India, people are crazy about films and cricket. A student will never wake up to study for exams at 4 am, but they will definitely wake up for a cricket match. Some of them are so crazy, that they wake up at 2 am for a 4 am match, then they see their ‘parents kabaddi’ and go back to sleep.”

Clarifying his words, Kapil further said, “Matlab maa baap ladrahe hote haina (What I meant was that parents are often fighting).”
The clip, which seemingly hints at parents' sex, has been widely shared across social media, garnering mixed reactions. While some netizens are defending the comedian, others have slammed Kapil’s humor and expressed their disappointment.
One user wrote, ''Kapil Sharma did a #RanveerAllahbadia before #indiagotlatent.''
