On the show, Abhilash spoke about his connection with the Kapil Sharma Show and how the show had motivated him to arrive in Mumbai. "Very few people know that I had come to Mumbai to be a part of Kapil Sharma's show, I wanted to perform on that stage. In fact in 2016 -17, I went there as an audience member. So, from an audience's chair to the guest chair took me 5-and-a-half years. It was an amazing episode, very funny. A lot of my friends, relatives messaged me saying that "we saw you on The Kapil Sharma's show, bahut Maza aya'."

"In fact I just jokingly said that Kapil bhai I had come here and he was like "Yaar tu Itna funny hai, tu show hyun nahi join karta?". He made me meet the director and he was like " Hum Abhi Thodi Se break ke line jayengey but after that please come on the show". I think this is the biggest compliment for me because that is why I was in Mumbai. I mean I wanted to be a part of his show and now Kapil Sharma is asking me to be a part of it. So yea very happy and very humbled and it was super fun being on his show," he added.
