The Kapil Sharma Show quickly became one of the most popular shows on television since its premiere in 2016 on Sony Entertainment Television. Hosted by comedian Kapil Sharma, the show’s format depicted his life and that of his neighbors in a fictional society called Shantivan Non-Cooperating Housing Society. The comedy show featured other television personalities such as Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, Ali Asgar, and Bharti Singh, among others. Gradually, the show started seeing appearances by mega Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Priyanka Chopra, among others, who used the platform to promote their upcoming projects.
The show has been through its share of ups and downs. From Kapil’s declining health to his altercation with Sunil Grover, followed by the latter’s exit, many factors came in the way of the show’s success. However, one couldn’t deny its popularity among viewers who found great comedic relief in the likes of Gutthi (played by Sunil) and Palak (played by Kiku) after a hard day’s work. Though the show isn’t airing on television anymore, it has found a home on Netflix, now titled The Great Indian Kapil Show. The show has successfully completed 4 seasons on the streaming platform so far.
