After Sunil Grover, Is Navjot Sidhu The Next To Quit Kapil Sharma’s Show?
Amidst Sunil Grover-Kapil Sharma fight, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh seeks legal opinion on whether Navjot Singh Sidhu will continue his stint as a judge on The Kapil Sharma Show
After the entire Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover fiasco,
Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh will seek legal opinion on whether
his minister Navjot Sidhu can remain a part of The Kapil Sharma Show
aired on Sony.
While talking to a section of media, CM Singh said, “I do
not know what the Constitution or the law says on this matter. We will have to
ask our advocate general to give us an opinion whether a person who is a
minister can do what he wants to do. It will entirely depend on legal opinion
and then I will bring it to Navjot Singh Sidhu’s notice. Frankly, I do not know
whether it is a conflict of interest. Once I get an opinion from them (advocate
general and legal experts), I will have a chat with him.”

Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur said, "I appreciate that
the government has decided to seek legal opinion over the issue. He (Navjot
Singh Sidhu) would abide by the law and would quit TV work if need be. However,
I would also like to say that actors like Shatrughan Sinha and Kirron Kher have
worked in films while being Parliament members. He has already stopped doing
cricket commentary and if there is anything wrong in him appearing in TV show,
he will quit that also.”
Sidhu, a front runner for the post of Deputy CM, was
given a rather lightweight department to look after. Sidhu who has been made
minister of tourism and culture, and local bodies in the new Congress
government.
In a Facebook post, Kaur on Sunday said her
family had no other source of income but television, and undue hype was being
created over the issue.”Such hype has been created about Navjot earning a
living from television. When I was working as an MLA, my electricity bill and
tea for guests cost more. We have no other business or source of income except
television. He has left 80 per cent of shows, which included IPL, commentary,
etc. Shooting for two shows (of the comedy show) takes only five hours a week
and that also mostly on Saturday night. I think it is a meagre time
for a non-socially active God-fearing workaholic (sic),” she wrote.
Sidhu, a cricketer-turned-politician, served as Amritsar
MP thrice when he was with BJP. In the recent assembly polls, he won the
Amritsar East seat, which was earlier represented by his wife, on a Congress
ticket.
