Key Highlights
- New on Instagram: Saif Ali Khan joined Instagram on October 11 and has been very active since.
- Shocking news: On Kapil Sharma’s show, Archana Puran Singh told him he can’t earn on Instagram, only on YouTube.
- Relatable reaction: Saif asked, “Why am I doing this?” and turned to Kareena, who had told him he could.
- Kareena’s calm: She replied, “We’ll figure it out.”
- PTM joke: Saif joked he has been attending PTMs at the same school since he was 20.
Saif Ali Khan has never been one to chase social media. So when he finally joined Instagram on October 11, fans were thrilled, and he has been posting actively ever since. But a recent appearance with wife Kareena Kapoor on Kapil Sharma’s show brought him a surprise he did not see coming.
‘I Can’t Earn on Instagram?’
During the episode, Archana Puran Singh told Saif, “You can’t earn on Instagram, but you can earn a lot on YouTube.”
The ‘Omkara’ actor looked genuinely surprised. “I can’t earn on Instagram?” he asked, before adding, “Why am I doing this?”
Kareena chimed in, “You stressed me out.” Saif then turned to her and said, “You can’t earn on Instagram? You told me I can.”
Keeping her cool, Kareena replied, “We’ll figure it out.”
Is It Really True?
The exchange was clearly meant for laughs, but the reality is more nuanced. Instagram does not pay creators per view the way YouTube’s ad-revenue model does. However, popular users, especially celebrities, earn through brand partnerships, sponsored posts and collaborations. For a star like Saif, Instagram could be a big earner if he chooses to work with brands. In that sense, Kareena may have been right after all.
Saif’s PTM Joke Steals the Show
Saif also had the audience laughing with his take on parent-teacher meetings. When Archana asked who attends PTMs in their home, Saif said, “First of all, I have four children in that school, at different ages. When I was 20 years old, I went for my first PTA meeting. Then I was 30 years old. I am still standing in the same school at 55. And now, even the teachers there have changed.”
The joke highlighted his long journey as a father, with children spread across different generations.
Why Fans Loved the Episode
Saif and Kareena’s easy chemistry and humour made the episode a fan favourite. Their banter felt like a real married couple’s conversation, from social media confusion to school duties. Seeing a big star react like any other new Instagram user made the moment instantly relatable.
Audience Sentiment
Social media users have been sharing clips of Saif’s reaction, with many joking that it is exactly how they felt after learning about how social media earnings work.
What Comes Next
With Saif now settling into Instagram, fans are eager to see whether his posts will turn more personal or professional, and whether brand collaborations are on the way.
