As per the latest reports in India Today, an FIR has been lodged against The Kapil Sharma Show for showing actors under alcohol influence in a courtroom set in one of the episodes. The complainant said that the actors disrespected the court. The FIR has been filed against them in the district court of Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh.
The Kapil Sharma Show aired on Sony TV is very sloppy. They also make lewd comments on women. In one of the episodes, a court was set up on the stage and the actors were seen drinking alcohol in public. This is contempt of court. That’s why I have demanded registration of FIR against the culprits under Section 356/3 in the court. Such display of sloppiness should be stopped,” The lawyer, who filed FIR against the show was quoted by India Today as saying.
It has been only a while that ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ returned after a hiatus. While Kapil Sharma returned as the host of the show, Archana Puran Singh, Krishna Abhishek, Bharti Singh, Chandan Prabhakar, Kiku Sharda and Sumona Chakravarti also made a comeback. Comedians Sudesh Lehri and Gaurav Gera have also been roped in and will be seen playing quirky characters.
The case was in reference to an episode that aired on January 19, 2020, and had a repeat telecast on April 24, 2021. The lawyer claims that it has been shown in the episode that a character is under the influence of alcohol in a courtroom set. According to him, this has brought disgrace to the court.
