'Thoko Taali!' Navjot Singh Sidhu returns to Kapil Sharma show with Rs 40 lakh episode fee
The premiere episode featured Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who flew in from Hollywood just for the night
The fourth season of Kapil Sharma’s flagship comedy‑talk show hit Netflix on December 20, 2025, and fans are already losing their minds. The premiere episode featured global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who flew in from Hollywood just for the night, adding a “Desi Girl” spark to the opening act.
But the real crowd‑pleaser is Navjot Singh Sidhu, resuming his iconic special‑guest chair alongside Archana Puran Singh. After a five‑year hiatus, Sidhu’s return in Season 3 was a sensation — he graced 11 of the 14 episodes, missing only episodes 2, 3 and 13. Siasat reported his per‑episode fee to be a whopping Rs 30 – Rs 40 lakh, turning his three‑month stint into an estimated Rs 3.3 – Rs 4.4 crore windfall. Kapil even cracked a joke on‑air, thanking Netflix for “increasing the budget so we can afford Sidhu paaji”, which had the studio in splits.
Season 4 rolls out a fresh “Mastiverse” vibe, with Kapil debuting a new character Raja and the core troupe — Sunil Grover (Diamond Raja), Kiku Sharda (Motapa) and Krushna Abhishek (Largemata) — all back in action.
