‘The Kapil Sharma Show’: Mukesh Khanna lashes out at the show; calls it cheap and vulgar

‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ is undoubtedly one of the most loved comedy shows on the small screen. However, looks like not everyone loves the show and one such person is the veteran actor Mukesh Khanna.

In his recent social media post, Mukesh slammed ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ left, right and centre. So much so that he called it cheap, vulgar and full of double meaning jokes. The veteran actor also revealed why he had declined the invitation to be a part ‘Mahabharat’ reunion episode. Mukesh played Bhishma Pitamah in ‘Mahabharat’.

Mukesh took to his Instagram handle and writing a lengthy post revealed why he is so pissed at ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. Answering netizen’s question of why Mukesh was missing in the ‘Mahabharata’ special episode, the actor wrote in Hindi, “This question has become viral, why Bhishma Pitamah was not there in the Mahabharata (special episode) show? Some say he had not been invited. Somebody says he refused it himself. It is true that Mahabharata is incomplete without Bhishma. It is true that there is no question of not inviting. It is also true that I was the one to reject the invitation.”

He further added, “Now it is also true that people will ask me how can anyone refuse a big show like Kapil Sharma. The biggest actors go there. They might go but Mukesh Khanna will not go! Gufi (Paintal) asked me the same question that those people are going to invite us after the Ramayana. I said, all of you go, I will not go. I was the one to refuse.”

Revealing why he feels the show is cheap and vulgar, Khanna added, “The reason is that even though the Kapil Show is popular all over the country, I do not think there is a worse show than this. This show full of double meaning words, taking a turn towards vulgarity with every moment. In which the men wear women’s clothes, do cheap things and people laugh, holding their stomachs.”

Further wondering how just laughing could be Navjot Singh Siddhu or Archana Puran Singh’s job, Khanna asked, “I do not understand why people laugh so much with this show. They place a fellow on the throne in the centre. His job is to laugh. Even if the laughter is not genuine, it gives him money. Before this, brother Siddhu used to sit for this work. Now, sister, Archana does it. And what is their job? Just to laugh?”

Khanna citing an example of the show’s ‘cheap comedy’, wrote, “I will give an example. You will understand how poor the level of comedy is in this show. All of you must have seen the Ramayan special episode before this one. Kapil asks Arun Govil: ‘You are taking a bath at the beach and someone from the crowd screams, ‘Hey look, Ram ji also wears VIP underwear! What will you say?. I just saw the promo. Arun Govil, who walks around with the image of Shri Ram ji, just smiled. How can you ask such a disgusting question to someone whom the world has seen as Lord Ram! Do not know what Arun said in response. I would have shut up Kapil. That is why I did not go.”

Well, that was quite an elaborate explanation. We wonder now what Kapil has to say about Mukesh Khanna slamming his popular show so brutally.
