With the comedy show clearly failing to draw a line between light hearted comedy and derogatory remarks, it is losing out on precious guests that unwilling to be a part of such a format. The show seems to have clearly moved on from comedy to insult in its short life on the TV screen and is losing appeal with celebrities. The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony is on the winning end of such bargains as more celebrities prefer the light hearted fun of the show than being humiliated.
