Sumona Chakrovarti defends Kapil Sharma, says ‘Everybody understands when someone is sick, it’s genuine’

There is no denying that Kapil Sharma is under immense pressure. The TRPs of the show have been declining and finding a place in the top 10 has been a struggle for the show in the past few weeks. In last couple of weeks, it has been out of the top 10. Last time, it saw a small rise jumping to the 11th spot from the 14th spot. Juggling between the shoot of his film, Firangi and The Kapil Sharma Show has been a struggle for the comedian, who is also facing health woes. Shoots with Shah Rukh Khan – Anushka Sharma for Jab Harry Met Sejal and the Mubarakan team were cancelled due to his ill-health. (Also Read: Kapil Sharma FAILS to keep his promise to Ali Asgar)

Sumona Chakravarti who has been a part of his team throughout did not desert him even after the mid-air fiasco with Sunil Grover. She along with Kiku Sharda have been one of the loyalists of the show. Sumona told entertainment portal, Pinkvilla.com, “Yes his (Kapil’s) 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.” (Also Read: The Kapil Sharma Show: Mubarakan family Ileana D’Cruz, Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor continue the laughter riot)

Kapil Sharma’s show has been struggling in the past few months with the exit of Sunil Grover, Ali Asghar and Sugandha Mishra. He has roped in few comedians but they are unable to have the same effect. Bharti Singh was the latest star entrant but now she has to bow out due to her commitment to Comedy Dangal, where she will be seen as a judge.

In past few weeks, Kapil has been suffering from low BP issues, which seem to be the No.1 reason for his bad health. Some reports also suggested he is having depression issues. We hope he recovers soon. Stay tuned to Bollywood Life for more scoop and updates…
