Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
Seems
Flawless
The
finished,
edited
version
of
each
episode
of
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil,
that
we
ardently
watch
on
TV
seems
so
perfect
and
faultless.
But
the
real
deal
is
nowhere
close!
Take
a
look
for
yourselves
at
the
pics
from
the
shooting,
making
and
rehearsals...
Kapil
Sharma's
Method
In
His
Madness
One
look
at
the
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
Sets,
and
you
would
not
even
recognise
the
show!
The
set
is
crowded
with
so
much
people,
that
Kapil
Sharma
is
seen
nowhere,
and
it
looks
nothing
like
what
we
see
in
our
idiot
boxes.
Green
Room
Delays
Palak
gets
ready
for
her
act,
having
the
script
in
hand
for
some
last-moment
rehearsal.
Yes,
that
answers
our
curiosity-
the
show
is
indeed
scripted,
but
has
a
lot
of
spontaneity
too.
Bua
Ji's
Make-Up
Many-a-times,
shooting
tends
to
break
for
almost
half
an
hour
as
some
junior
artist
isn't
ready
or
due
to
unanticipated
delays.
The
Chaotic
Audience
Not
many
people
might
guess,
that
the
audience
is
actually
paid
to
sit
there.
Yes,
we
mean
EACH
person.
But
the
condition
is,
that
they
have
to
be
there
till
the
shooting
ends.
Well
that
wouldn't
be
a
punishment.
Outdoor
Shooting
With
Yuvi
And
Bhaji
This
particular
episode,
was
also
shot
outdoor,
with
cricketers
Yuvraj
and
Harbhajan
Singh.
The
entire
outdoor
sequence
was
shot
for
4-5
hours
from
over
15
camera
angles.
But
all
this
will
be
condensed
to
15
minutes
after
editing!
The
Unseen
Face-
Rajiv
Dhingra
The
show's
director,
Rajiv
Dhingra
has
not
been
in
the
news
as
much
as
Creative
Directors
Preeti
and
Neeti
Simoes.
Final
Rehearsals
The
team
sits
down
together
and
mouths
dialogues
to
brush
up
memory.
With
no
retakes,
the
cast
has
the
pressure
of
performing
consistently,
without
fumbling.
And
Finally,
Roll
Cameras!
After
all
the
prep,
the
team
gets
into
action,
and
shoots
non-stop,
without
a
fumble,
for
about
45
minutes.
Woah!
We
wonder
what
they
eat.
Jittery
Audience
Believe
it
or
not,
the
audience
is
also
made
to
rehearse
for
1-2
hours
prior
to
the
show!
10
members
from
the
audience
are
alotted
a
question
each,
and
briefed
about
the
camera
angles.
Still,
some
get
nervous
during
shooting,
making
way
for
a
lot
of
retakes.
And
Curtains
Down!
Then
the
curtains
close,
making
way
for
recess
for
the
cast
and
crew.
Kapil
Sharma
Runs
The
Show
Kapil
Sharma
ultimately
takes
responsibility
of
everything
that
happens.
It's
his
show
afterall!
Dadi
Ka
Touch-Up
When
its
break
time,
Dadi
receives
a
re-touch
to
her
lipstick.
Nap
Time?
Palak
takes
a
quick
beauty
sleep
inbetween
scenes.
Doesn't
she
look
adorable?
Kapil
With
Autographed
Bat
Kapil
Sharma
poses
with
the
bat
signed
by
Harbhajan
Singh.
The
Long
Wait
The
is
the
long
queue
of
people
waiting
to
get
into
the
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
Auditorium.
Some
of
them,
as
mentioned
on
the
show,
book
for
passes.
The
Sweat
And
The
Heat
It
tends
to
get
pretty
sweaty
and
tiresome,
waiting
endlessly.
But
it's
all
worth
it,
at
the
end.
Eager
Fans
Waiting
For
Autographs
Kapil's
fans
come
in
all
ages
and
sizes.
Here's
a
little
girl
waiting
with
her
autograph
book
for
Kapil
chacha.
Keeping
Fans
Happy
Kapil
not
only
has
to
shoot
tirelessly
and
entertain
the
millions
of
his
fans
across
the
globe,
but
he
must
also
entertain
his
fans
on
the
sets,
by
interacting
with
them.
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil-
A
Brand
Name
So
all
this
frantic
action
goes
into
the
making
of
our
favourite
show,
making
it
almost
a
brand
name
in
India.
After
this
insight,
we
bet
none
of
you
will
look
at
Comedy
Nights
the
same
way
again.
