The Great Indian Kapil Show streams on Netflix.
Writer Amit Aaryan has called out comedian Kapil Sharma and his show for its vulgar jokes. He also claimed that the show was not run by Sharma but by his characters.
Kapil Sharma has become one of the most loved faces on Indian television when it comes to comedy. His show has undergone various changes throughout its course, from his cast leaving the show to exploring new characters. In a recent interview, FIR writer Amit Aaryan lashed out at The Great Indian Kapil Show and has called it “the worst show in the history of India.” The writer called out the show for its vulgar jokes.
In a conversation with Digital Commentary, Amit Aaryan shared his two cents on The Kapil Sharma Show. He called out the show and spoke about how the jokes on women are disrespectful. The writer said, “The Kapil Sharma show is the worst show in the history of Indian comedy. This might sound controversial, but I have the right to say this because I am more experienced than Kapil Sharma, Kiku Sharda, and Krushna Abhishek.”
The writer spoke about how women ought to be respected but in the comedian’s shows, they are often disrespected. He took the example of Krushna Abhishek’s character Sapna and said, “Women are supposed to be respected. She only says below-the-belt stuff.”
In the same conversation, Aaryan spoke about how it is not Sharma but his characters who run the show. He said, “If you watch Kapil Sharma’s show carefully, it’s not him who is running the show, but the other characters. He even released a show on Netflix, Kapil Sharma: I Am Not Done Yet. Nobody watched that show, because nobody was interested in what he had to say.” He claimed that the show only cracks poor jokes and continued, “The problem is today’s generation hasn’t been exposed to good comedy, so they laugh when someone fat-shames and body-shames others.”
Sharma has now moved his show from television to OTT. The Great Indian Kapil Show is currently in its second season with new episodes being released on the weekend. The show has seen guests like Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Jr NTR, and Saif Ali Khan among others.
Aaryan has written hit shows and movies like FIR, Lapataganj, ABCD, Do Knot Disturb, and Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai among others.
