Lata Mangeshkar is an avid fan of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show. Shocked to hear about his show going off air, she says, “He brought so much happiness and laughter into every home. It’s truly disappointing to hear that his show is no longer going to be telecast. I wish him a quick recovery and I hope the show returns soon.”

Loving the show
On a personal level, she shares a wonderful rapport with Kapil, who is a self-confessed devotee of the singer. “Yes, he is very fond of me. He kept insisting that I come on his show, lekin main wahaan kya karti? (What would I have done there?) I enjoy watching his show. Not being on it.”

Just a break
Kapil, who is in Bengaluru, says, “I want Lata didi to know that the show is coming back stronger than ever. I am here at an Ayurvedic clinic for 40 days of healing. I am already feeling the change in me. I promise I will come back stronger than ever.” Kapil also warns against all the reports about his health being put out on the websites. “They talk about my health like qualified doctors. I am supposed to have gone mad. I want all my wellwishers to know that there is nothing other than overwork that is wrong with me. I needed a break. God has given me one.”
