Bollywood Veteran’s Laud Kapil Sharma for Respecting Icons On His Show
Over the years, Kapil Sharma has not only become more self-confident, he has also matured and tries as far as possible to stay away from controversies. His new show had none other than SRK in its inaugural episode.
A few days back AIB’s Tanmay Bhatt found himself at the receiving end for uploading a video that belittles two greats – Sachin & Lata.
But Bollywood continues to shower affection on Kapil Sharma, as he knows where to draw the line when legends are on his show (although the same cannot be said of ordinary people whom Kapil does target occasionally) .
