The Kapil Sharma Show: Mukesh Khanna calls the serial cheap and vulgar; says ‘I rejected the invitation’

A lot of people were asking why Mukesh Khanna was not invited on The Kapil Sharma Show for the recent Mahabharat reunion. From Nitin Bharadwaj and Gufi Paintal to Gajendra Chauhan, Arjun and Puneet Issar, all were seen on Kapil Sharma’s show but Khanna who played the role of Bhishma Pitamah. The veteran actor has now revealed the reason behind his absence from the show and said that he was the one who bluntly rejected the invitation calling the comedy show cheap and vulgar.

In a long Instagram post, Mukesh Khanna listed all the complaints he has against The Kapil Sharma Show. “This question has become viral, why Bhishma Pitamah was not there in the Mahabharata show? Some say he had not been invited. Somebody says he refused it himself. It is true that Mahabharata is incomplete without Bhishma. It is true that there is no question of not inviting. It is also true that I was the one to reject the invitation,” he wrote.

He further added, “Now it is also true that people will ask me how can anyone refuse a big show like Kapil Sharma. The biggest actors go there. They might go but Mukesh Khanna will not go! Gufi (Paintal) asked me the same question that those people are going to invite us after the Ramayana. I said, all of you go, I will not go. I was the one to refuse.”

Revealing the reason why he rejected to invitation to join the Mahabharat cast on the show, Khanna said, “The reason is that even though the Kapil Show is popular all over the country, I do not think there is a worse show than this. This show is full of fuhadpana, full of double meaning words, taking a turn towards vulgarity with every moment. In which the men wear women’s clothes, do cheap things and people laugh, holding their stomachs.”

Khanna further went on to slam the guests Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh who sit and laugh on the show for no reason. “I do not understand laugh so much with this show. They place a fellow on the throne in the center. His job is to laugh. Even if the laughter is not genuine, it gives him money. Before this, brother Sidhu used to sit for this work. Now sister Archana does it. And what is their job? Just to laugh.”

Criticising the show further, Khanna cited an example where Kapil had cracked an underwear joke on Arun Govil during Ramayan reunion. He said that if Kapil had said such things in his presence, he would’ve shut him down then and there. “I will give an example. You will understand how poor the level of comedy is in this show. All of you must have seen the Ramayan show before this one. Kapil asks Arun Govil: ‘You are taking a bath at the beach and someone from the crowd screams, ‘Hey look, Ram ji also wears VIP underwear! What will you say?’ I just saw the promo. Arun Govil, who walks around with the image of Shri Ram ji, just smiled. How can you ask such a lousy question to someone whom the world seen as Lord Ram! Do not know what Arun said in response. I would have shut up Kapil. That is why I did not go.”

Well, we wonder what Kapil has to say about Khanna’s harsh criticism on the show.

ये प्रश्न वाइरल हो चुका है की महाभारत शो में भीष्म पितामह क्यों नहीं ? कोई कहता है उनको इन्वाइट नहीं किया गया। कोई कहता है उन्होंने ख़ुद मना किया। ये सच है कि महाभारत भीष्म के बिना अधूरी है। ये सच है कि इन्वाइट ना करने का सवाल ही नहीं उठता।ये भी सच है की मैंने ख़ुद मनाकर दिया था। अब ये भी सच है कि लोग मुझसे पूछेंगे कि कपिल शर्मा जैसे बड़े शो को कोई मना कैसे कर सकता है। बड़े से बड़ा ऐक्टर जाता है।जाते होंगे लेकिन मुकेश खन्ना नहीं जाएगा ! यही प्रश्न गूफ़ी ने मुझसे पूछा कि रामायण के बाद वो लोग हमें इन्वाइट करने वाले हैं। मैंने कहा तुम सब जाओ मैं नहीं जाऊँगा।कारण ये कि भले ही कपिल शो पूरे देश में पॉप्युलर है।परंतु मुझे इससे ज़्यादा वाहियात शो कोई नहीं लगता। फूहड़ता से भरा हुआ, डबल मीनिंग जुमलों से भरपूर, अश्लीलता की ओर हर पल मुड़ता हुआ ये शो है। जिसमें मर्द औरतों के कपड़े पहनता है।घटिया हरकतें करता है और लोग पेट पकड़ कर हँसते हैं। इस शो में लोग क्यों हैं हैं करके हँसते हैं मुझे आज तक समझ नहीं आया।एक बंदे को सेंटर में सिंहासन पर बिठा कर रखते हैं। उसका काम है हँसना।हँसी ना भी आए तो भी हँसना।इसके उन्हें पैसे मिलते हैं।पहले इस काम के लिए सिद्ध भाई बैठते थे।अब अर्चना बहन बैठती है। काम? सिर्फ़ हा हा हा करना !!! एक उदाहरण दूँगा। आप समझ जाएँगे कि कोमेडी का स्तर कितना घटिया है इस शो में। आप सबने देखा होगा।इसके पहले का रामायण शो।कपिल अरुण गोविल को पूछता है। आप बीच पर नहा रहे हों। भीड़ में से एक बंदाँ चिल्ला कर बोलता है.. अरे देखो देखो राम जी भी VIP underwear पहनते हैं ! आप क्या कहेंगे ? मैंने सिर्फ़ प्रोमो देखा। उसमें अरुण गोविल जो श्री राम जी की इमिज लेकर घूमते है, सिर्फ़ मुस्कुरा दिए।जिसको दुनिया राम के रूप में देखती है उससे आप ये घटिया प्रश्न पूछ कैसे सकते हैं ! नहीं मालूम अरुण ने जवाब में क्या कहा।मैं होता तो कपिल का मुँह बंद करा देता।इसी लिए मैं नहीं गया।
