Ok this is confusing but before being an actor he wanted to be a professional singer. Music has always had a special place in his heart. In fact, he had moved to Amritsar to Mumbai with that dream in his heart. He said in an earlier interview, “I have an offer from a big music company for an album, but I am focusing on my show right now. Next year, I hope to come out with my own album which will have Sufi music with a Punjabi flavour.”
Host
Kapil has been a host on six shows apart from Comedy Nights With Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show. Yes it’s true that people come to him with such offers because of his image of a comedian, but it takes a lot more than that to be presenter or a host of the show. And he has all that! He has the spontaneity to correct his mistakes on the spot, he has the skill to make fun of the biggest celebrity and most importantly the talent of memorising the script and talking non-stop for hours. Believe me it’s not easy!
Actor
Long before becoming a common household name, Kapil was a struggling theatre artist. He had not even dreamt of becoming a comedian. He began his acting career in Amritsar during his college days and relentlessly struggled for ten years before getting his first break. He got an opportunity to participate in a comedy show on a Punjabi channel in 2005. He grabbed it with both hands as till then he had realised that theatre was not a good enough medium to pay off your bills. Little did he know then that few years down the line he will get to do a mainstream Bollywood movie. In 2015, he came out with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. Not only did the film made money, but it also showed the public that their favourite comedian can act too!
Producer
The producer-host of the then most popular non-fiction show on TV, ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ has stood among the top 100 celebs list of Forbes India 2013 and 2014 and has been the recipient of CNN – IBN Indian of the Year 2013 award in the entertainment category. While he may entertain and make audiences laugh on screen, we can’t deny the fact that he has great business acumen.
Comedian
He may come across as a brutal comedian some times but he always manages to escape with his naughty smile. He somehow seems to have cracked the code of maintaining a balance. He just knows how to hit the right chord with everyone, be it a commoner, a fresher or a big shot. People are ready to be joked by him because he doesn’t leave himself in this mocking game. Infact he is better in mocking himself and more than often we see him cracking jokes on his own life situations. Today, he is a well known name among all the top industries across the countries and even abroad. And as his show continues to dominate the TRP charts, every celebrity makes sure to make an appearance to promote their upcoming ventures. Right from Shah Rukh Khan to Salman Khan. Now if that’s not a skill, then what is!
A stand-up comedian, a producer, a host, a script writer, a content developer, a singer and now also an actor – Kapil Sharma not only dons many hats, but also knows how to excel at what he is doing.
