Since news broke of the huge fire on the sets of popular comedian Kapil Sharma, many of Bollywood’s leading stars have come forward and offered support to the comedian . The show which is aired on the Colors channel, is hosted by Kapil and often sees Bollywood celebrities like Shahrukh, Rohit Shetty, Deepika Padukone, Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra, Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, Anil Kapoor and others using the platform to promote their upcoming films.
“I got a call from Lataji and she asked if I need any kind of help, whether monetary or anything. She asked what can I do for you… Her call was a big thing,” Kapil said.
“Also Shah Rukh Khan, Rohit Shetty and lot of people from the industry called me and said ‘hum tumhare saath hai, batao kitne din mein set khada karna hai’ (we are with you, tell in how many days the set has to be put up). The industry is like a family,” he said.
Kapil says the exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained as investigation is still on.
“We will come to know the exact loss… The figures only after the police verification,” he said.
He rubbished rumours of a conspiracy behind the fire.
Kapil felt disappointed as he was unable to shoot with singer Sonu Nigam due to mishap.
“We were even planning to shoot with Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan for the promotion of their forthcoming films. But unfortunately due to the tragedy, we are trying to work out things,” he said.
However, Kapil is quite happy that people are loving his show and he hopes it to continue. Two episodes supposed to be aired on this weekend have already been shot. But, for the upcoming episodes they will be shooting on the sets of ‘Bigg Boss’ show.
