Saif Ali Khan Says His 2-Year KBC Ghee and Cheque Haven’t Arrived
Saif Ali Khan joked on The Great Indian Kapil Show that the two-year ghee supply he won on KBC — and the cheque — have still not arrived.
Some prizes are easier to meme than to claim. Saif Ali Khan walked away from Kaun Banega Crorepati in late September with a two-year supply of Gowardhan ghee and a new nickname: “ghee legend.” Weeks later, he says the jar and the cheque are both still missing.
The clarification on Kapil Sharma’s couch
On the latest episode of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, host Kapil Sharma read out a fan comment linking Saif’s Instagram debut to his ghee win. Kareena Kapoor Khan, sitting beside him, joined the teasing.
Saif’s deadpan reply turned the joke into a complaint. “I just want to clear one thing. I haven’t even received the ghee yet,” he said, before adding, “Even my cheque’s not come.” Kareena, Archana Puran Singh and the audience all cracked up.
How a dairy prize became a meme
The story started when Saif and Akshay Kumar appeared on KBC to promote their Priyadarshan film Haiwaan. When Amitabh Bachchan announced that the tenth question carried a two-year Gowardhan ghee supply, Saif’s excitement took over. “This is it; this is why I came,” he said.
The clip travelled fast. Fans called him “Gen Z born in the wrong era,” filled his Instagram comments with ghee jokes, and on Kapil’s show the gag got a domestic twist. Saif said Kareena rubs ghee on her feet every night and added, “Imagine, this is such a romantic thing that our bedroom smells like dhaba every night.”
Why the bit keeps working
This is less about prize delivery and more about Saif’s comic persona — a little grand, a little unbothered and very good at letting a joke breathe. The deeper joke is that the film promotion took a back seat. Saif and Akshay sat on the hot seat to sell Haiwaan, but the internet left with ghee.
The fact that the prize is a kitchen staple, not a luxury car, is exactly why it lands. It is small enough to feel personal and absurd enough to be shareable — the perfect raw material for a slow-burn meme.
The timeline, in short:
- Late September: Saif and Akshay win a two-year Gowardhan ghee supply on KBC for Haiwaan.
- Days later: Saif joins Instagram, and the comments turn into a ghee meme thread.
- Kapil Sharma’s show: Saif jokes that neither the ghee nor the cheque has arrived.
For now, the ghee exists mostly as a running joke. Fans are already tagging Sony TV and asking where the prize is. Until Saif shares a delivery update — or the channel does — the “ghee legend” can keep complaining, and the internet will keep laughing with him.
