Some weekends ago, Kapil met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the opening of National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai. To his post from the event, PM Modi replied, "When Kapil Sharma appreciates somebody's humour, it sure makes that person happy and I am no exception. Thank you for the kind words, Kapil."
Kapil Sharma got married to longtime girlfriend Ginni Chatrath in December. Over the weekend, the comedian-actor hosted a wedding reception for friends and colleagues in Delhi. The Mumbai reception was held soon after the wedding.
Kapil Sharma made a comeback to TV after a break of nine months with the new season of The Kapil Sharma Show. Last year, his show Family Time With Kapil Sharma went off air abruptly after a few episodes because of his deteriorating health. Simultaneously, Kapil Sharma also made headlines for cancelling shoots. Last year, Kapil also battled alcoholism for which he briefly went to a rehabilitation centre.
