Kapil Sharma: I realised that I drink everyday to escape my problems

During the trailer launch of his upcoming film Firangi, Kapil Sharma candidly spoke about the problem.

Ace comic actor Kapil Sharma has quite often been alleged to have a drinking issue, which is also indirectly blamed for the downfall of his once famous show The Kapil Sharma Show.

When Salman Khan appeared on Kapil Sharma’s show to promote his film, Kick.

During the trailer launch of his upcoming film Firangi, Kapil candidly spoke about the problem. “I cancelled a lot of programmes; like recently I cancelled a programme for the BSF in Delhi. I really wanted to do a show for soldiers like this. When I started my show, I went to the Wagah border,” the comedian told the media.

“I got to realise that I drink everyday to escape my problems. So I have decided to reduce it,” he added.

The stand-up comedian further said, “Now, I feel a bit happy by coming in front of you all and also opening about my problems.”

Kapil added that his mother was not informed about the cancellation of his show and controversies surrounding it. “My mother was not informed about the issue. She was told that there was a strike, due to which the shoot was cancelled. She’s too innocent, but later on, she came to know about the whole incident,” he said.

Firangi is an upcoming historical period drama film set in the year 1920 and is directed by Rajiev Dhingra. Apart from Kapil, the cast includes Ishita Dutta and Monica Gill. It is slated to release on November 24, 2017.
