After a long time, there’s good news for Kapil Sharma fans. The show is seeing an upward trend in the ratings and has entered the top 5 club.
The show had seen a dip in ratings post the infamous fight between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover. Grover and Ali Asgar’s exit from the show added to the woes, with the show’s TRPs dropping to an all time low.
