Is Kapil Sharma’s Popularity Fading? Viewership Drops Despite Alia Bhatt’s Presence

New Delhi: The ‘Comedy King’ Kapil Sharma has made his return with the second season of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. Despite his star power, the show seems to be struggling with viewership. The debut episode, which featured Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar promoting their upcoming film Jigra, along with Vedang Raina, failed to generate the same buzz as the first season. Although it entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list it was ranked only 8th last week.

Declining Viewership:
Despite high-profile guests, including Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show season 2 was watched less than the debut episode of the first season. The show’s charm seems to be waning.

Global Netflix Ranking:
The show made it to Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list but only managed to secure the 8th spot, indicating a decline in international appeal compared to its earlier run.

Future Prospects:
With the show’s viewership on a downward trend, questions are being raised about Kapil Sharma’s lasting appeal as the ‘Comedy King.’ Fans are eager to see if the upcoming episodes will reignite the show’s former popularity.
