Kapil Sharma: I’ve cheated my mom and I’m not proud of it

Both on personal and professional fronts, Kapil Sharma has gone through a roller coaster ride of late. Kapil Sharma, whose job is to make us laugh, isn’t a man full of laughter always! From his highly popular TV show coming to an end to his battle with alcohol addiction, it has been quite an uphill walk for the comedian-turned-actor.

Recently, in conversation with DNA, Kapil revealed how he hid his own difficulties from his mother and ended up lying to her. But now, the guilt hurts. (Also See: Kapil Sharma clarifies about cancelling shoot with Shah Rukh Khan)

“She kept asking me why I stopped my show. First few days, I lied to her and told her that it was because of the strike. I didn’t want to disturb her. But then, she would get to know from idhar-udhar that Kapil’s health isn’t great. So then she started worrying about me. I called her here in Mumbai and I would stay in front of her all the time at home. But andar jaake apne kamre mein raat ko pee loon toh usko kahan pata chalega (gets emotional). I have cheated my mom and I’m not proud of it,” he told the publication.

We also learned that Kapil’s mother, who is now happy with her son’s recovering conditions in all aspects, has a cameo in his upcoming release ‘Firangi’. In fact, so do his sister, sister-in-law and nephew.

All’s well that ends well!
