The clip shows Kapil asking Vijay whether he ever attended an acting school, to which the actor replies that he never did and was instead an accountant at a theater group. A curious Kapil then jokes about whether Vijay saw a star’s bank balance and got inspired to take up acting.
Vijay replies, “Nahi, maine apna account dekha, paisa nahi tha toh kamane ka (No, I checked my account — there was no money, so I had to earn it).” The actor’s reply leaves his co-stars Siddharth and Aditi impressed, as they cannot stop clapping. Even Kapil looks impressed and cannot contain his laughter on hearing the response.
Fans filled the comment section with laughing emojis. One user commented, “He is an aura in himself.” Another wrote, “Bro’s sense of humor.” Another commented, “Vijay Sethupathi never disappoints.” Another comment read, “Best answer.”
This marks the first time Vijay Sethupathi will be gracing the couch of Kapil Sharma’s show. The actor, along with his team, is busy promoting his upcoming film Gandhi Talks. The episode will premiere on January 31 on Netflix.
