Kapil Sharma has been trying hard to revive The Kapil
Sharma Show after the much-loved cast of Sunil Grover, Chandan Prabhakar, Ali
Asgar and Sugandha Mishra boycotted the show
Kapil brought in stand-up comedians like Raju Srivastav,
Sunil Pal and Ahsaan Qureshi but that did not seem to work.
And yesterday night, he summoned Kiku Sharda and Sumona
Chakravarti to shoot a few gags. Srivastav was round the corner too.

The trio turned up dutifully, with Kiku, who plays Palak
on the show, even rescheduling an appearance on the Indian Idol show to make
it.
The stage was set but the laughter was missing. Instead,
gloom seemed to have descended over the place.
The camaraderie was missing, so was the fun.
A source says, "Bas kuch theek hi nahi lag raha tha.
Sab kuch itna alag ho gaya hai yahan pe."
And it was clear to Kapil Sharma when he walked on stage
to film the gags. The laughter seemed forced and the comic timing was
off.
So, within ten minutes, an exasperated Kapil decided
to call off the shoot.

When we contacted Kiku, he was in no mood to talk and
said: “What rubbish! Why are you asking me about this?”
We then pointblank asked him if they completed the full
episode, to which he said, "Leave me alone. I don't like to talk about my
work." Shocking Kiku. You won't talk about your work? Maybe you are the
only exception. Actors tell us that they don't talk about their personal life.
However, a call to the show's director Sahib said a lot
more than the call to Kiku, who let us remind you is too much of a Kapil
loyalist; his crew also calls him Kapil's sycophant. Sahib did not deny at all
that Kapil called for 'Pack Up' last night after barely 10-15 minutes.
"Why don't you call up the production house K9 or Kapil himself to talk on
this?" he quipped.
When will laughter return to The Kapil Sharma Show? Tonight,
Kapil is slated to shoot with Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khuranna. We hope
the bubbly Pari (as she is fondly called) manages to cheer up Kapil.
