Mukesh Khanna also noted an example to show how low the standard of comedy is on the show. The actor stated that when Arun Govil (who played Lord Rama in the show Ramayan) had gone on the show, Kapil had asked him ‘You are taking a bath at the beach and someone from the crowd screams, ‘Hey look, Ram ji also wears VIP underwear! What will you say?’ Mukesh Khanna stated that this was shown on the premiere of the show and Arun Govil being the person he is, he just smiled at the question.
