Kapil Sharma’s journey from a small-town boy in Punjab to one of India’s most celebrated comedians is nothing short of inspiring. In a recent interview, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu opened up about Kapil’s struggles, resilience, and rise to stardom, while reminiscing about their shared journey on The Great Indian Kapil Show.
"People Told Me He Was Over"
During an interaction on The Grain Talk Show, Sidhu spoke about Kapil’s challenging times when he faced financial and personal crises. “When Kapil was going through a tough time, people told me, ‘He is over.’ But I always believed in him. You don’t find a genius like Kapil Sharma,” Sidhu shared. His comments highlighted Kapil’s remarkable talent and ability to bounce back despite the odds.
Kapil’s career hit turbulent waters during his struggles with anxiety and depression. The comedian also opened up about his battle with alcoholism, which led to frequent shoot cancellations and tarnished his professional reputation. Reflecting on this phase, Sidhu added, “Talent does what it can, but genius does what it must. Kapil has that genius.”
Sidhu fondly remembered the original cast of The Kapil Sharma Show, including Ali Asgar and Sunil Grover, who portrayed iconic characters like Dadi and Gutthi. He expressed a longing for the team to reunite, saying, “I recently met Sunil Grover in Goa. He is another comedic genius. When he performs, even for just 10-15 minutes, he leaves everyone in splits.”
Kapil's Struggles and Redemption
Kapil Sharma’s journey to the top was fraught with challenges. While his comedy show made him a household name, his foray into movie production led to significant financial losses. Speaking candidly, Kapil once revealed that producing two films left him bankrupt, triggering a period of depression and self-doubt.
During these tough times, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan stepped in to offer support. Kapil recounted an incident where Shah Rukh encouraged him during a heartfelt conversation after a cancelled shoot. “He spoke to me like an elder brother, trying to understand my situation and offering advice,” Kapil shared.
Sidhu’s recent revelation comes ahead of his return as a guest on The Great Indian Kapil Show after a hiatus of over five years. The episode, set to stream on Netflix, will feature Sidhu alongside his wife Navjot Kaur Singh and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh. Reflecting on his connection with the show, Sidhu remarked, “Kapil’s spontaneity and humor are unmatched. He has the power to turn any situation into a moment of laughter.”
