Shatrughan Sinha says Sonakshi warned Kapil Sharma about not crossing the line with her dad

According to Shatrughan Sinha, his daughter Sonakshi once had to warn Kapil Sharma not to cross the line with her father.

Shatrughan Sinha has called out comedian Kapil Sharma for ‘crossing the line’ while mimicking him. Sinha, a yesteryear star and current Member of Parliament, even said that his daughter, actor Sonakshi Sinha, had to reprimand Kapil for his jokes.

Sonakshi has appeared on numerous occasions on Kapil’s shows, which were once favourite pit stop on actors’ publicity tours. Kapil has since fallen out of favour, after several incidences of alleged unprofessionalism. The comedian would often cancel episodes of his show, which he blamed on overwork and a packed schedule. It was later reported that the comedian suffers from alcoholism and depression.

“I am sporting enough to take it on the chin,” Shatrughan said, according to a report in India Today. “All the greats Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Amitabh Bachchan have mimics impersonating them. It is fine, as long as the mimicry does not cross the limits of decency. This happened to me when Kapil Sharma made fun of me on his show. My daughter Sonakshi even reprimanded him. The mimic should not forget that he is paying a homage to a man or a woman he or she admires. Limits of decency should not be crossed. Also, the mimicry should be restricted to the stage, and not taken out on the streets and certainly not into the Parliament.”

The difference in his appearance was also noticed when he had landed in Mumbai in July. Kapil accepted on Twitter that his weight has increased, but he is looking forward to making some positive changes to his lifestyle.

Kapil had quit Twitter and left the country days after his meltdown. The actor had also filed suits against a journalist and his former producer Preeti Simoes. In April this year, Kapil returned to the small screen with a new show titled, Family Time With Kapil Sharma. The launch of the show was accompanied by news of more cancelled shoots. The new show, too, was soon cancelled after three episodes.
