Actor Mukesh Khanna explained in a new interview why he called comedian Kapil Sharma ‘uncultured’. Khanna, known for playing Shaktimaan and Bhishma Pitamah in BR Chopra’s television series Mahabharata, discussed his reasons for not appearing on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2020 and shared why he did not like Kapil’s comedy sketch of Shaktimaan. Came.

During an interview with Bollywood Thikana, Mukesh said, “I don’t like Bigg Boss or The Kapil Sharma Show because of vulgarity, but he (Kapil Sharma) is a great entertainer, there is no doubt about that. Two incidents happened… I wouldn’t say they made me ‘anti-Kapil’, but my feelings did not match with them. The person may be nice, but you don’t feel comfortable with him/her. I don’t think he even realizes it, but I told Krishna Abhishek. They used to do skits on Comedy Circus, and the mistake Kapil made was that he wore Shaktimaan’s costume, and there was a girl in front of him, with a bed shown on the side.

He added, “I said, ‘What nonsense!’ We have made this character so religious, and you are showing that because he is busy, he is not going to go to any girl – otherwise, you are doing it just for comedy. Called Krishna and inquired about this act. Krishna told me that he had to do this act, but Kapil took this work from him.

Khanna also explained why he called Kapil Sharma ‘uncultured’. “The second incident happened at an award show. I was sitting in the front row and I think Kapil was just starting out in the industry. So, Kapil sat next to me for 10-20 minutes but didn’t greet me even once. He just took his award and went away. These two things were in my mind. That’s why you consider yourself so big, when such a person behaves like this, his respect goes down.” of.

These days Kapil Sharma is hosting the second season of The Great Indian Kapil Show. It premieres new episodes every Saturday evening on Netflix.
