Bollywood Stars Dish on Academic Prowess and Pitfalls: Sara Ali Khan's Studious Past, Fatima Sana Shaikh's 12th Grade Struggle, and Anupam Kher's Humble Score

Bollywood Stars Reveal Academic Secrets on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'

The cast of the upcoming film 'Metro In Dino' recently reunited on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', sharing laughs and behind-the-scenes moments. An unaired clip revealed some surprising academic confessions from the stars.

Kapil Sharma initiated the revelations by asking Sara Ali Khan about her pre-film life. Sara responded, "I was studying. I’ve studied history, political science… I’ve studied a lot."

Fatima Sana Shaikh praised Sara's educational background, but then shared her own academic struggles: "I dropped out after failing 12th standard. I used to fail a lot. I got 55 percent in 12th."

Veteran actor Anupam Kher then chimed in, admitting, "I scored 38 percent in 12th." Kapil countered with his own score of 44 percent. Anupam then humorously remarked, "Despite this, here we are sitting on this stage."

Kapil playfully teased Sara about her frequent mountain retreats, asking, "She loves mountains so much that as soon as shooting ends, she goes off to climb one. She only came down for my show. Do you go to the mountains to look for a husband?" Sara retorted, "If that were true, there would be a queue of boys waiting for me."

The conversation then shifted to director Anurag Basu's unique on-set style. Kapil joked about Anurag providing dialogues at the last minute, quipping, "Is your printer not working?"

Aditya Roy Kapur added, "There’s no pressure on his set because you don’t really know what you’re doing. If the work turns out badly, it’s his fault."

'Metro… In Dino' is scheduled to release in theaters on July 4.
