Can you recognise a well-known comedian in this throwback picture? If you are still scratching your head, fret not, we will tell you that he is none other than Kapil Sharma. We found this picture on Kapil's Instagram handle. On Wednesday night, the comedian, who hosts The Kapil Sharma Show, took us back to his college days in his latest Instagram upload. In the picture, Kapil can be seen posing in the middle along with his friends. The TV star looks unrecognisable in this picture that was clicked 23 years ago after his theatre performance in Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Kapil is sporting a crisp white shirt and has "gum" on his face. He is flashing his beautiful smile.
Kapil also wrote a heartwarming caption in his post. In his caption, the Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon actor remembered his college life saying, "clicking a photo was such a luxury in those days that I didn't even realize". He added, "pockets were always empty but smile was always there".
He wrote, "Just found this 23 years old pic, it was just after finishing the performance of our play #Azaadi" in the youth festival of Shri "Guru Nanak Dev University". I removed my beard n clicked a photo with my colleagues, clicking a photo was such a luxury in those days that I didn't even realize...gum is still there on my face... missing those days, pockets were always empty but smile was always there, just thought to share with u guys. Hope u all r well n safe #staysafe #stayhome #old #memories #college #hinducollegeamritsar #gurunanakdevuniversity #gndu #gnduamritsar."
