According to an insider, Kapil Sharma’s show has decided to go all-out with the comic lineup. “Week after week, there will be a gallery of guest artistes adding to the humour. Kapil won’t rely on Bollywood stars to take the humour forward.”

This week the guest actors on the show included Gauahar Khan, Himani Shivpuri and Suresh Menon. “You’ll see a lot more comic talent and less Bollywood stars on Comedy Nights With Kapil,” informs a source.

Says a member of Kapil’s CN team, “Kapil was very hurt when Salmabhai decided to go on the new show. Kapil will now prove that his show doesn’t need any Bollywood help to sustain its humour.”
