Kapil rushed to hospital during shoot, fine' now

Mumbai: Contrary to frenzied reports in a section of the press which claimed that comedian Kapil Sharma “fainted” on the sets of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ the comic entertainer only had a dizzy spell minutes before the shooting of a new episode, and was rushed to hospital. According to reliable sources, Mr Sharma is doing fine.

Kapil’s colleague Kiku Sharda said, “Kapil did not faint. He was only feeling uneasy.”

As a precautionary measure, the promotional recording with Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Imtiaz Ali for their new film, ‘When Harry Met Sejal,’ was postponed and Mr Sharma was taken to a hospital.

A close friend of Mr Sharma said, “He will be discharged from hospital very shortly. He is more in the hospital as a precautionary measure as he had fainted a few weeks ago on the set. This time he didn’t faint. But his team decided to not take any chances with his health.”

The friend further added, “Kapil has been deeply troubled by recent incidents in his life. He never thought the midair fight with Sunil Grover would spiral into such a major conflict. Kapil has so far not reached out to Sunil for any reconciliation. He is as hurt as Sunil. He tells his team members, ‘Yeh usska show hai jitna mera. Bulane ki kya zarooorat hai?’(This is as much his show as mine .Why do I need to call him?)”

‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ team feels it is time for the cold war between Mr Sharma and Mr Grover to end.
