The boxing champion was seen on Saturday night’s episode with Sania Mirza and Saina Nehwal. During the episode of the Netflix show, Kapil joked about boxers being angry. At one point, Mary confessed she was getting angry by the recurring jokes.

The incident took place when Kapil spoke to Mary about the mouth guards often sported by boxers. “Mary, when I watch boxing in movies, the coach would put something in the boxer’s mouth before the match, the denture guard… I used to wonder, ‘Why does every boxer chew pan before boxing?’ I came to know about this quite late," he said.

Mary’s expressions changed and Kapil sensed she was getting angry. “Don’t be angry," Kapil requested when Mary got annoyed. “No, I am not, I have never been angry but now, you are enraging me. You’ve been pulling my leg," she said. While Archana teased her by saying, “Show him how angry you can be, Mary," Kapil tried to calm her down.

“We wear the guard to protect our teeth. Not only in boxing but it is used for ice hockey as well. But you just pointed out boxing," she said. Kapil quickly added, “Maaf karo," leaving everyone in splits. “While talking, she clenches her teeth when she looks at me. It makes me wonder if she’s angry at me," he said when Mary asked, “Aise kyun…" However, Kapil cut her short and clarified, “No, I’m just joking." “Just joking? Then fine," Mary said, letting his jokes pass. “This is my bread and butter. Don’t be angry," Kapil confessed.
