‘Family Time With Kapil Sharma’ goes off-air for a month

Television | Wednesday | 11th April, 2018

Summary:

Kapil did not shoot any episode and the channel had to air reruns of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ over the weekend.

It’s a bad news for all the Kapil Sharma fans as the comedian’s new show is going off-air for a month.

Yes, finally after controversies over cancelation of shoots and the comedian’s unstable health, the channel has decided to suspend the show for April.

A source close to the channel said, “See the first episode of Kapil’s latest show was nothing like its predecessor...It only did well on TRP charts as Kapil has a very ardent fan following and was going to be back on television after a hiatus of seven months. So naturally, his fans did watch their favourite comedian’s new show but it lacked the punch that they expected.”

Kapil had reportedly cancelled an episode’s shoot with Rani Mukerji in the first week of the show itself where she was to celebrate the success of ‘Hichki’ but after waiting for a few hours, the actress had to leave.

In the week that followed, Kapil did not shoot any episode and the channel had to air reruns of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ over the weekend.

The source further added,

“Right now, we want to him get better first. So that once he is back, he is completely devoted to work like he has always been.”

Kapil ranted on Twitter against a journalist of digital media for demeaning him. The comedian-actor even used abusive language in his tweets that were later deleted.
