Back in 2016, Kapil had tweeted to the PM calling out officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) who were allegedly demanding a bribe from him to build an office.

However, these tweets backfired as the BMC accused him of flouting the civic norms in his Versova office building and also in his apartment at Goregaon.

5. Dispute With Colors TV

After a successful 2.5 years stint, Comedy Nights with Kapil which aired on Colors TV came to an end amongst disputes. Colors said that Kapil had started demanding a lot of money for the show while Kapil said he quit the show because another show with a similar concept (Comedy Nights Bachao) had begun airing on the same channel and that would have affected his show’s popularity.

6. Complaint By Group Of Nurses From Medical Colleges And Hospitals

For projecting nurses in a ‘vulgar’ manner in his show, nurses and students from various medical colleges and hospitals from Amritsar staged a protest against Kapil Sharma for days. They said that nurses had been objectified on his show since the beginning and planned to file a defamation suit against him.

8. Filing Of A Complaint Against Kapil By An NGO

One of Kapil’s jokes on pregnant women didn’t go down well with an NGO, and they filed a complaint against him along with the Maharashtra State Commission for Women. Apparently, in one of his episodes, Kapil had joked about the state of the country’s roads that were riddled with potholes saying that a pregnant woman could deliver her baby while commuting on the roads.

9. Evasion Of Service Tax

The Service Tax Department had booked Kapil for not paying tax up to Rs 65 lakh and had questioned him for 5 hours. According to the department, Kapil Sharma had registered himself with the Service Tax department but hadn’t paid it. Kapil later promised to pay the amount by demand draft as soon as possible.

According to reports, Kapil had a quarrel with the stunning Priyanka Chopra at an awards function. Apparently, Priyanka had made Kapil wait for 3 hours and even after coming to the event she announced that she wasn’t ready. A visibly infuriated Kapil unplugged his earpiece and threw it down on the floor saying, “Ladies logo ka yehi problem hain, madam abhi tak tayaar nahi hain” (That’s the problem with these ladies, madam isn’t ready yet).

Well, taking all of this in judgment, we can say that though Kapil is highly talented, he does get carried away sometimes. From being the most successful comedian of all time to being in the middle of a nationwide controversy, Kapil has done it all. Let’s just wait and see how the cards turn out to be for Kapil in the near future.
