The Kapil Sharma Show: Gehraiyaan director Shakun Batra Claims Of Being Informed That The Show Is A Lowbrow!
The Kapil Sharma Show is one hotspot for entertainment and hilarious jokes. Despite the pandemic, Kapil Sharma and his team provided viewers with their daily dose of entertainment during the nationwide lockdown. 

Recently, Gehraiyaan director Shakun Batra along with the film's cast Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa had visited the show to promote their film. He was told that The Kapil Sharma Show is a lowbrow. 


In a new episode of Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Shakun said, "Honestly, I hadn’t really followed the whole show. I’d heard it was funny, and people were like, ‘It’s lowbrow’ and whatever. But I didn’t care. I had been shooting for the last year-and-a-half, and I had all this weight. I had just delivered the film four days ago and the next day, I was still waking up with the weight of the film. I went there with no expectation and there, I started to just laugh and laugh more. By the end, I realised I had forgotten about my film."

Following the show, Shakun shared that when he went home, he slept and woke up at 10 in the morning, instead of his usual routine of getting up at 6.30-7, something which did not happen for the past two years, due to the anxiety of making a film.

“I think in some way, he healed me that night with his humour. I genuinely don't know how funny it would be when it comes out but I just tuned in,” the filmmaker said.


In a recent episode, Lenskart co-founder Peyush Bansal was seen as one of the Sharks on Shark Tank India, who also pointed out that he had preconceived notions about Kapil Sharma that he is not funny anymore. However, it didn't take much time for Kapil to change Peyush's perspective about him when the latter visited The Kapil Sharma Show. 

Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma was recently featured on Netflix with the stand-up special 'Kapil Sharma: I'm Not Done Yet'.
