The Incident occurred when Kapil Sharma asked Mary Kom about the mouthguards commonly worn by boxers.

I used to think, 'Why does every boxer chew pan before boxing?' I only found out about this much later.' 

Mary’s expression changed, and Kapil quickly noticed that she was getting angry. Adding on to that he told Mary, 'Don’t be angry,'.  Replying to that Mary said, 'No, I am not, I have never been angry but now, you are enraging me. You’ve been pulling my leg,' she added. 

Archana teased her by saying, 'Show him how angry you can be, Mary,' as Kapil Sharma attempted to soothe her.
