During the show, the host Kapil Sharma disclosed some lesser-known facts about the cast members of ‘Vikram Vedha’ – Satyadeep Mishra, Radhika Apte, Yogita Bihani, Rohit Saraf, and Sharib Hashmi – who accompanied Khan to promote their film. In the segment, Sharma revealed about Mishra that was an assistant commissioner at the Income Tax department before he switched and became an actor.

Awards milte hain Income Tax se, (Do you know I get awards from Income Tax department). I am a good citizen.”

Later, Mishra also clarified that although he cleared his Civil Services exam, he was not appointed as an assistant commissioner at any moment.
