‘The Kapil Sharma Show’: Did Salman Khan ask Navjot Singh Sidhu to step down?

Cricketer cum politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has found himself in the eye of the storm once again. This time around, it is for his comments on the Pulwama terror attack. The Punjab minister found himself receiving severe backlash and soon #BoycottTheKapilSharmaShow started trending. Fans asked Salman Khan to either take action or shut down the show.

Reacting to the backlash, the ‘Dabangg’ Khan apparently decided to ask Sidhu to step down, says a report in DB Post.

As per a DB post, Salman Khan immediately asked Sidhu to step down from the show. Obviously, as a producer, Salman did not want to take a chance, especially when so much money has been involved in its production. The show is doing well in terms of TRP and Salman doesn’t want to lose it just for the sake of one person. And so, he decided to take a call immediately.

The report further adds that Salman called up Sidhu and asked for his resignation because he didn’t want the ratings of the show to be affected for the sake of one person. He has decided to put the final decision on Sidhu’s exit on hold as he’s waiting for things to cool down before the final verdict is announced.

Sidhu’s controversial comment on Pulwama:

“For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished,” Sidhu was quoted as saying.

Let us wait and watch if Navjot Singh Sidhu will or won’t make a comeback in ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’.
