It is rightly said that in the glamour world no publicity is bad publicity. Testimony to the fact are actors like Kapil Sharma, Mandana Karimi, Piyush Sahdev, Hina Khan, Shilpa Shinde and more, who ensured there was no dirth of controversies in 2017.

Kapil Sharma

Kapil Sharma Was In The News For All The Wrong Reasons

Kapil Sharma was one of the biggest newsmakers of the year. The actor and comedian, who won the hearts of thousands thanks to his famous TV shows Comedy Nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show, lost some ardent fans this year. It all started mid-air when Kapil beat up his co-star Sunil Grover on a flight in Australia.

The brawl was a nasty one, with Kapil yelling at and abusing his team-mates Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar.

After the infamous incident The Kapil Sharma Show slowly fell apart. Later his team members ganged-up with his arch rival Krushna Abhishek and launched a new show, The Drama Company.

Kapil’s miseries didn’t stop at this. The year’s disturbing events took a toll on his health to such an extent that he had an acute nervous breakdown. Several film stars refused to be on Kapil’s show, after he made them wait for long hours and at times even refused to show up for scheduled celebrity shoots. At the trailer launch of his film Firangi the actor confessed to his mistakes and also revealed how he battled alcohol addiction.
