The Great Indian Kapil Show: KPop star Jackson Wang says this is his 'last visit' to India and opens up on his experience on visiting Indian clubs

K-pop sensation Jackson Wang brought his signature charm to The Great Indian Kapil Show, but not before dropping a dramatic twist — he might never return to India again. Why? According to the singer-rapper, his recent club-hopping adventure across the country left him feeling practically invisible. Yes, you read that right. Despite being a global superstar, Wang says Indian partygoers barely acknowledged him, and the comment quickly became the emotional (and hilarious) highlight of the episode.

The latest episode of the popular Netflix show was a star-studded affair, featuring actors Vijay Varma, Jaideep Ahlawat, Pratik Gandhi, and Jitendra Kumar alongside Kapil Sharma. The actors opened up about their early life, jobs before fame, and the ups and downs of stardom. The casual banter and unfiltered anecdotes kept the audience entertained — until things took a global turn.

Towards the end of the show, Kapil brought out special guest Jackson Wang, and the vibe instantly shifted. Jackson lit up the stage with his energy, even teaching the actors some dance moves. When Pratik Gandhi shouted “Arey, ye to Garba hai!” mid-routine, the whole set burst into laughter, adding a desi touch to the international crossover.

Wang's experience in Indian clubs

But the real shocker came when Kapil asked Wang about his Indian fanbase. While Kapil insisted that Indian girls are obsessed with him, Wang humorously disagreed. He shared that during this second trip to India, he visited three clubs — and no one noticed him. He said that he walks and people look through me. He further added that people only ever asked him for autographs for their friends, never for themselves.


Jackson went on to joke, “Maybe this is my last visit to India. I am so sad.” The crowd was stunned, but Kapil wasn’t having it. In a sweet moment of redemption, he asked the live audience to raise their hands if they were Jackson Wang fans, and almost every hand went up. Still unconvinced, the K-pop idol quipped, “Very good actors.”

Despite the light-hearted disappointment, Jackson’s time on the show ended on a high note. He joined the actors and Kapil for a lively performance, proving that even if the clubs didn’t recognise him, the TGIKS set sure knew how to celebrate him.
