Comedy Nights' Kapil Sharma, Not A Joker Nor A King - Insecurity Or Stardom?

By Girija Narayan

Comedy Nights With Kapil's host-comedian and the latest Indian Of The Year, Kapil Sharma apparently had reservations regarding posing with a Joker card. Understandable, since his show has NOT JUST become one of the most loved and watched show for its comedy quotient. And he is NOT JUST made it to be the funniest man alive. But why he did not want to pose with a King card is what is not comprehensive. Considering his show's success and the skyrocketing demand for his live shows in India as well as abroad, he must be minting a lot of green.

Kapil Sharma, during an interview with the magazine, Society, was apparently in a 12 minute photoshoot, and was asked to pose holding a Joker card. He refused flatly. He was then asked to pose with a King card. He and his PR personnel refused this as well. Interesting since he is both!

Kapil is by-and-large one of the funniest (Indian) man alive. And with the money he is making from producing Comedy Nights With Kapil and from the live shows he is hosting in recent times, he is easily making no less than any top politician.

The question now is why he refused to pose with those cards. Was it because he does not think he is funny enough? Or is it because he does not think he is not rich enough? Is it just insecurity? Or is it just good-old stardom talking?
