The Kapil Sharma
Show once enjoyed a position like no other. Million on fans tuned in every
weekend as Kapil Sharma successfully tickled their funny bone, much to the
delight of the K9 Productions, Frame Productions and Sony (makers/channel). It
also was the go-to destination for every Bollywood celeb wishing to promote
their film to the hilt.
However, all
that is a thing of the past. The fortunes of the comedy show have turned post
the March 16 mid-air brawl between Kapil and Sunil Grover. Not
only did the show lose its popular stars such as Sunil Grover, Chandan
Prabhakar and Ali Asgar, but also its ratings took a beating on YouTube as
well. 
SpotboyE.com
took a look at how Sunil, Chandan and Ali’s exit has affected the show and the
results are mind boggling. Sunil last appeared in the episode featuring Vidya
Balan and Co, who had come to spread the word about Begum Jaan. Days before the
episode in question aired, SpotboyE.com had broken the news of the mid-air
brawl between Kapil and Sunil. One look at the number of likes and dislikes and
it’s evident that the audience had disconnected. The episode with Vidya Balan
(episode 91) garnered 22,843 likes and 12,297 dislikes.
Now, let’s
sample the gradual decrease in likes and dislikes especially from episode 95 to
100.

This obviously
means that the YouTube traffic has become sparse for The Kapil Sharma Show
aired on Sony.
It’s trippy.
