Fans of GOT7’s Jackson Wang were treated to both laughter and a bit of heart-fluttering panic after his recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show took an unexpectedly emotional turn. The episode, which aired on July 12, 2025, featured Jackson in a surprise segment that quickly became the highlight of the night. Dressed head-to-toe in sleek black, the K-pop star instantly won over the crowd with his signature charisma, tossing out playful banter, flaunting some impressive bhangra moves, and sharing anecdotes from his time in India. But just as fans were basking in the joy of seeing him on Indian TV again, Jackson jokingly suggested that this might be his last visit to the country—sending the internet into a collective spiral.
As part of the episode’s casual chatter, Kapil Sharma teased Jackson about his rising popularity among Indian Gen Z audiences. With a straight face and perfectly timed humor, Jackson replied “Never,” before explaining that during his club-hopping adventures in India this time, no one seemed to recognize him. He quipped that people only asked him for autographs to give to “their friends.” The audience laughed, but the joke quickly took a bittersweet turn when Jackson said, “Maybe this is my last visit to India. I’m so sad.” Though it was clearly laced with sarcasm, many fans online weren’t quite sure how to take it. Some panicked, wondering if he meant it seriously, while others were quick to clarify that it was just another example of Jackson’s dry humor. Longtime fans know that the star is known for his tongue-in-cheek comments, often delivered in jest, even when they sound dead serious.
Kapil, sensing the room’s energy shift, quickly tried to lift Jackson’s spirits by asking the live audience to raise their hands if they were fans of the GOT7 member. A sea of hands instantly shot up, but Jackson, never missing a beat, shot back with a cheeky “Very good actors,” sending the room into another round of laughter. It was classic Jackson—sincere, silly, and a little bit savage.
Adding to the spice of the episode, Kapil also brought up the ongoing chatter about Jackson’s bond with Bollywood actress Disha Patani. The two were previously spotted together during Jackson’s 2023 visit to India, sparking all sorts of dating rumors. But Jackson immediately put the speculation to rest, simply stating, “We’re only friends.” He further confirmed on a recent BeerBiceps podcast that he’s single and not currently interested in dating—an honest and direct answer that echoed his no-nonsense approach to rumors.
Jackson’s connection to India has grown steadily since his first official visit in January 2023 when he performed at Lollapalooza India and later strolled the streets of Mumbai like a local. Since then, he’s been warmly embraced by Indian fans, especially after his buzzworthy collaboration with Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh on the track BUCK. His return in June 2025 to promote MAGICMAN 2 felt like a reunion of sorts—with media appearances, fan interactions, and heartfelt moments reminding fans just how much he appreciates the country’s love.
Though his “last visit” remark stirred a mix of panic and amusement, the truth is likely far from final. Jackson has always been full of surprises—and as fans have learned, when he says something with a straight face, it usually means there’s a laugh (and a comeback) right around the corner. With MAGICMAN 2 dropping on July 18, there’s no doubt he’ll continue making waves—not just in India, but across the globe.
