Actor Ali Asgar, formerly part of The Kapil Sharma Show, addressed speculation about reuniting with Kapil Sharma and the team. Speaking to ETimes, Ali mentioned that due to recent extensive travel and film commitments, he hasn’t had the chance to watch Kapil’s latest show, The Great Indian Kapil Show on OTT, but said that he is confident of the team’s abilities, saying, “It’s one of the best teams, the show will be really good.”
Reflecting on the audience’s ongoing affection and desire to see him back on the show, Ali said, “Ye toh audience ka pyaar hai (This is audience’s love) that they still keep writing that they want to see me back on the show. I’m thankful to God, and the audience for liking my work. Main Kapil ka bhi shukarguzar hoon ke main aise ek show ka hissa raha, jisse abhi main nahi hoon phir bhi itna pyaar mujhe milta hai (I’m thankful to Kapil that I was part of such a show, which I’m not now, yet I receive so much love), thank you audience. I don’t know about the future, but right now, I’m busy with my chat show, Chaddi Buddy. This buddy (Baktiyar Irani) doesn’t leave me.”
Ali hopes to invite his friends from The Kapil Sharma Show to his chat show Chuddy Buddy in the future. He said that they are all friends, and if their schedules match up with the show’s requirements, they would love to have them as guests. “Hopefully yes, why not. We would love to have Krushna Abhishek-Sudesh Lehari, Kiku Sharda-Rajiv Thakur; they are all friends. So, in future, we will plan, and if their availability and our requirements for the show match, we would love to welcome them on our show. It will also depend on the availability as they are also working. Ye koi dabav waala show nahi hai, agar unki availability hui and woh aane ke liye tayar hogaye toh (This is not a show that operates on pressure, if they are available and ready to come then) definitely why not?” he said.
Ali left Kapil’s popular comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show, in 2017, citing creative differences.
