Comedian and television host Kapil Sharma is at the pinnacle of success today but at one point he has struggled a long time. In an interview, he has told that after participating in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Comedy Circus, and other comedy shows, he finally got a chance to start his own comedy chat show The Kapil Sharma Show in 2016. After this Kapil did not look back and till now he has completed 500 episodes of the show in which he has interviewed many stars.
Talking about his journey in an interview, Kapil said, I was first approached to host Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. I went to the channel office as they had called me several times and asked if I would like to host the show. Did I ask which show? He told me to have a glimpse. I asked what should I do? He said that you and Maniesh Paul will host it. I said ok and after that, I was asked to meet the BBC production house. I met him but after seeing me I was told that you are too fat. You lose some weight. I told the channel people what they told me and also said what is all this?
Kapil said, after this, the channel called the production house and said that Kapil is right and you onboard him as a host, after that he will lose weight. Then I told him, why don't you guys make comedy shows? He asked me to make a pitch, so I asked him for two days because I had no idea. I went home and I really thought about what good I could do. I loved doing standup, sketch comedy, costume comedy, so I put all the things that I liked and planned a show. He asked me how many minutes this show would be, stand-ups, gags, celebrity interviews, etc. The show was going to be around 120 minutes but he wanted only 70 minutes of content. We started with 25 episodes and today we have completed 500 episodes.
