‘Kapil Wanted To Become A Singer’, Shares Rajiv Thakur; Guarantees The Kapil Sharma Show Won’t Go Off Air

Comedian Kapil Sharma is often referred to as the comedy king thanks to his impeccable and very natural comic timing. May it be during an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, or while hosting an awards night-- he knows exactly what will leave the audience in splits. Well, other than being a comedian he is also an actor and a beautiful singer. In fact, he originally wanted to become a singer. But do you know who always knew he would end up doing something which requires a lot of talking?

It was his college friends Rajiv Thakur and Chandan Prabhakar. In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Rajiv shared, “He (Kapil) wanted to become a singer, but Chandan (Prabhakar, actor) and I would always tell him one thing, ‘teri zubaan badi strong hai’ (You are a good conversationalist). He speaks so well, that I sometimes feel that he has an edit machine within himself. For instance, we might sometimes make a punch out of 4 lines, but he on the other hand edits those four lines internally and makes them into one strong punch. So Chandan and I always said that whenever he would get some work where he needed to talk, then nobody would be able to beat him.”

Talking about Kapil’s television show, he added, “Kapil Sharma Show hai na, yeh uski zubaan wala kaam hai (The Kapil Sharma Show is where his conversational skills come in handy). And I can say it with guarantee that this show won't go off-air unless and until Kapil wants it to.” Back in February this year, the show went off air temporarily and Kapil took a break from work to spend time with his newborn son and family. While some reports suggested that his show was gone for good, others stated that the next season will go digital. Let’s wait and watch what finally happens.
