Kapil Sharma says he’s fit; calls Sunil Grover his ‘brother’
Ending all speculation around his career plans and state of health, comedian-actor Kapil Sharma took to social media to announce his return to television. On Saturday, as soon as he tweeted, “Jalad wapas aa raha hoon ‘The
Kapil Sharma
Show’ lekar aap ke liye sirf @SonyTV par… (sic)”, Kapil’s colleagues and fans started congratulating him. Producer Ekta Kapoor tweeted “Super”; Kapil’s fellow comedian Bharti Singh tweeted, “Ajao ajao jaldi”, and a fan expressed happiness by tweeting, “KAPIL JI BILLION DOLLARS Khushiyaan de di aap ne ..! #WeStandWithKapil Sharma #KapilHitsBack Aap k bina sab ki haalat bina pani k machhli k jaisi ho gai thi KAPIL JI.. Thank you soooo much.” On Saturday, while promoting his first Punjabi production in Amritsar, Kapil had told us that he planned to tweet the news of his comeback, and that the show will begin close to Diwali. The comedian has been on a break ever since his last show, Family Time with Kapil Sharma, was wrapped up abruptly late this March due to his poor health. But now, he’s recovering and ready to work. “I was waiting for the right content and script to make my comeback. We’re planning a new series with my previous team,” he told us. “I’m perfectly fit and fine and have undergone a rejuvenating Ayurvedic treatment. My edited pictures on social media were merely rumours,” he added.
Referring to fellow comedian Sunil Grover, with whom he had a very public fallout, Kapil said, “Sunil and I share a special bond of brotherhood with zero controversies. We were even together a few days back, sitting and laughing and discussing our upcoming projects. All the controversies are just spiced up by the fake news and apps. Things are not the way as [they’re] spiced up on social media. We may also be back on a comedy show soon.”
We tried reaching out to Kapil, but he replied that he’s busy promoting his Punjabi production right now, and will talk to us soon. When we got in touch with Sony TV, the official spokesperson said, “Yes, Kapil Sharma is coming home to Sony Entertainment Television, with his highly successful weekend comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show. We are delighted and looking forward to again collaborating with Kapil and his absolutely talented creative team and actors.”
