In a recent interview with ABP, comedian Ali Asgar claimed that he felt sorry for his co-star, Kapil Sharma, going as he is through depression. The comedian went on to say that Kapil Sharma’s emotional state resembles that of a child, unable to articulate his feelings. Reacting to this, Kapil Sharma’s team has released a statement expressing shock over the comments, which they consider hurtful. The statement also says that Kapil is currently travelling with his fiancé, Ginni.

“We are equally shocked to hear about this ourselves and are surprised that Mr Asgar, whom Kapil Sharma has always considered a friend, would make such hurtful statements.”

Kapil Sharma is certainly having a tumultuous time - from spewing abusive language on social media to hurling abuses at a journalist. Earlier this month, Kapil Sharma’s comeback show, Family Time With Kapil Sharma, was taken off air by Sony TV, after only three episodes. According to reports, the decision was taken by the channel because of Kapil Sharma’s unprofessional attitude and his absenteeism.
