Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor will be seen as a special guest on the comedy show “Madness Machayenge-India Ko Hasayenge.” Having given Indian cinema some of its most memorable dialogues like “Main Hu Nandu, Sabka Bandhu,” “Aau! Lalita!” and more, Shakti has ruled the entertainment industry with his iconic roles as a villain as well as a comedian.

In the upcoming episode, “Madness ki Malkin” Huma Qureshi talks about her first-ever celebrity encounter which happened to be with Shakti. She also takes a moment to learn a few classic dialogues from Shakti himself.

On popular demand, the show presents yet another rendition of the “Animal Spoof” where Kushal Badrike plays “Balraj,” Kettan Singh is seen as “Ranvijay,” while Hemangi Kavi plays a meditation instructor who tries hard to calm Ranvijay’s uncontrolled rage, only to end up in a funny meditation catastrophe.

Host Harsh Gujral hits the stage with a stand-up act that delves into the bizarre and innocent behaviour of men, winning praise and respect from both Shakti and Huma. Paritosh Tripathi and Snehil Mehra Dixit a.k.a. BC Aunty come up with a passionate debate on “Pet vs Pati,” leaving the audience in splits. Joining forces with Kushal, actress-comedian Chitrashi Rawat will be seen as part of the “Papu Xerox Gag,” navigating the chaos of a rich girl narrating stories about her boyfriend to her sceptical father.

Siddharth Sagar also steps into the limelight with a hilarious impersonation of Shakti’s classmate, while Gaurav Dubey, Hemangi, and Inder Sahani play a yoga instructor, a celebrity, and a photographer, respectively, in a rib-tickling paparazzi gag. “Madness Machayenge” airs on Saturday at 9:30 PM on Sony.

Meanwhile, Celebrating her brother Saqib Saleem’s 36th birthday on Monday, actress Huma Qureshi took to her Instagram stories to share a video where she is seen “annoying” the birthday boy. In the Instagram story shared by Huma, the video features Saqib engaged in a serious conversation, sporting a “Happy Birthday Saqib” sticker on his shirt.

Huma zooms in and out, capturing her brother amid his conversation. The actress captioned the video: “Annoying birthday boy @saqibsaleem.” Saqib, who made his debut in the Hindi cinema with “Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge” in 2011, was last seen on the big screen in the 2021 film “83’ alongside Ranveer Singh. He will next be seen in his upcoming film “Kakuda,” a horror comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, alongside Sonakshi Sinha and Ritesh Deshmukh.

Meanwhile, Huma Qureshi recently starred in the third season of the political drama series “Maharani,” in which she portrayed the role of Rani Bharti. The series also features Amit Sial, Vineet Kumar, Pramod Pathak, Kani Kusruti, Anuja Sathe, Sushil Pandey, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles, drawing inspiration from several real-life incidents that occurred in Bihar during the 1990s.

In addition to this, the actress has the film “Pooja Meri Jaan” lined up for her. Huma had said that the audience will get to see the real her through this comedy show, as she brings no characters to life, here.
