‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ gets a makeover

Kapil Sharma is said to be giving his show ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ (‘TKSS’) a makeover. This is after Sunil Grover left the show, followed by Ali Asgar and a few others and since then the TRPs have been suffering.

According to Bollywood Life, Sharma has recruited a new writer for the show. Raaj Shaandilyaa will now be taking the reigns. Shaandilya has written comedy for films like ‘Freaky Ali’ (2016) and ‘Welcome Back’ (2015).

Sharma’s health has also been suffering. Not being on top form as host, has meant Sharma hasn’t been able to give 100 percent to his show, to the point his guests have been left waiting backstage.

Having been admitted to hospital more than once, it has been said Sharma may be battling with depression. His onscreen wife, Sumona Chakravarti said in his defence that people do understand when someone is sick. “Yes his health has not been very good and the name of the show is Kapil Sharma. Unfortunately, he is under a lot of pressure and that s fair enough. We all have our ups and downs in terms of health. It happens, sometimes you can t even afford to fall sick but the body does take a toll so it s okay, and not like he kept anyone waiting and everybody understands when someone is sick, it s genuine.”

The ‘TKSS’ team are now hoping to turn a new leaf with Shandaaliya on board and bounce back from this set back, returning to being one of the top 5 shows according to BARC reports.
