Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 6 : Star batter Rishabh Pant made his first-ever appearance on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' and spoke about his journey after the serious road accident he suffered in December 2022.
In the latest episode of the Netflix comedy show, Rishabh appeared alongside fellow cricketers Abhishek Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Team India's coach Gautam Gambhir.
While the show had many fun and light-hearted moments, it also turned emotional when Pant talked about his recovery and the difficult months that followed the accident. Host Kapil Sharma welcomed the cricketer warmly and praised him for his strength and determination in making a strong comeback.
Talking about the days after the accident, Rishabh shared how his body reacted to the heavy medication and how eating even basic food became a challenge. "Accident jab hua tha na... toh itni saare dawayaan andar chali gayi thi. Toh andar se na system, kuch khaya he nahi jaata tha, kuch feel he nahi hota tha. Toh 2-3 mahine sirf khichdi hi khayi hai..Thoda simplified rakha jitna hosake. (When the accident happened, I had to take so many medicines that my system just couldn't handle anything. I couldn't eat properly or feel anything inside. For almost 2 to 3 months, I survived only on khichdi... tried to keep things as simple as possible.)
The show has already seen Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in its first episode. The actor opened up about various things -- including his health struggles, views on marriage, and more. He also shared an interesting detail about his hairstyle in the film Tere Naam, revealing that it was inspired by India's former President, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The second episode featured the cast of 'Metro... In Dino.' Navjot Singh Sidhu's return to the show after a long break also left fans surprised. The third episode of the show is all set to stream on July 5 on Netflix.
