While everyone is waiting for ace comedian Kapil Sharma to return to action with The Kapil Sharma Show, we have now learnt that he will foray into the fiction genre. He shot a special sequence for the comedy show, Aadat Se Majboor. According to sources associated with the fiction show, “We shot the sequence with Kapil a few months ago on his set during his rehersals. Fortunately, we managed to shoot with him just before he went on a temporary break. He plays himself, and is approached by Ananth Mahadevan's team to shoot for an ad.“

Kapil has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this year. It began with a mid-air fight with his colleague, Sunil Grover. The latter walked out of the show after the fallout. This was followed by reports of him cancelling the shoot with several Bollywood celebrities. Incidentally, Kapil didn't turn up on the set to shoot with Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal and the Golmaal Again team on separate occasions. However, in an exclusive interview with BT, Kapil clarified that cancelling the shoot was not intentional.He also said that he couldn't shoot the episodes because of health issues. The comedian later announced that he was going on a short break to recover and will bounce back in full force.
