Kapil Sharma announces his debut on Netflix, struggles to pronounce auspicious, leaves netizens in splits

Comedy king Kapil Sharma is all set to make his great grand digital debut. Yes, you read it right. Kapil will soon be seen on one of the most popular OTT platforms Netflix. Kapil will once again entertain the audience with his wit and charm. 

Kapil announces his digital debut in the quirkiest way possible

Kapil Sharma took to his social media and shared a recent tweet where he was seen asking his followers about the English translation of 'shubh Samachar'. He had promised a piece of auspicious news. Amid speculation that the comedian may announce his second child, Kapil has now shared a teaser video ahead of his new web series on Netflix.

Sharing the sneak peek of his new show on Twitter, Kapil wrote, "Don't believe the rumours guys, only believe me. I'm coming on @NetflixIndia soon Star-struck. Partying face this is the auspicious news ."

The hilarious video shows Kapil, dressed in a casual black tee and a maroon leather jacket and denim jeans. Keep it smart and trendy. 

Kapil, as usual, struggled and fumbled to pronounce 'auspicious'

He is, however, seen struggling to pronounce the word 'auspicious'. Despite his multiple attempts, he fails to pronounce the word correctly, and that's when the director suggests that he should instead record the video in Hindi.

A relieved Kapil says, "Really? Well, anyway, I was almost prepared with English. But that's okay. If Netflix themselves are so Indian, what's the need for me to forcefully speak in English? So I will be coming on your TV, laptops and phones, that is on Netflix. This was the auspicious news."

Kapil Sharma's statement

Talking about his Netflix debut, Kapil Sharma said:

I am super excited for my first-ever association with Netflix. 2020 has been a bumpy ride for everyone worldwide, and my motive is to make people forget their worries and welcome this new year with love, laughter and positivity. I always wanted to be on Netflix, but I didn't have their number (hahaha). It's a project close to my heart, and I cannot wait to share more details with my fans soon."

Friends, fans and fraternity react to the 'auspicious' announcement
