he
came
to
Meera
Road
in
Mumbai
with
Rs
1200
in
his
pocket.
He
auditioned
for
Great
Indian
Laughter

but
got
rejected.
But,
he
didn't
give
up
and
tried
again
and
succeeded
in
his

Won
BIG
&
Impressed
The
Viewers
Kapil
entered
the
industry
when
stand-up
comedy
on
television
was
at
a
nascent
stage.
He
became
the
undisputed
King
of
Comedy
by
winning
Great
Indian
Laughter
Challenge
in
2007
and
became
the
winner
of
6
consecutive
seasons
of
Comedy
Circus.
Kapil’s
Responsibility
He
was
also
seen
on
a
Punjabi
show
called
Hasde
Hasande
Raho
on
MH
One
channel.
It
was
after
he
lost
his
father
(police
constable)
to
cancer
in
2004,
Kapil
had
the
responsibility
of
getting
his
sister
married
and
took
his
passion
for
theatre
seriously.
Hard
Work
Paid
Off
His
hard
work
paid
off
as
he
won
the
Great
Indian
Laughter
Challenge.
The
comedian
had
his
hands
full
of
opportunities
to
work
on
TV.
Kapil
not
only
impressed
the
viewers
as
a
comedian,
but
had
also
hosted
many
shows/events.
Hit
Jackpot
With
CNWK
He
hit
the
jackpot
with
Colors
show,
Comedy
Night
With
Kapil.
Not
just
fans,
television
actors,
even
Bollywood
celebrities
were
impressed
with
his
comic
timings.
But,
like
any
other
actors,
Kapil
too,
has
his
share
of
ups
and
downs.
CNWK
was
shut
down
as
he
got
into
a
war
with
Colors.
Kapil’s
Bollywood
Debut
Kapil
was
again
back
with
a
bang
with
Sony
TV's
show,
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show.
Meanwhile,
he
also
was
seen
preparing
for
his
Bollywood
debut,
with
Abbas-Mustan's
Kis
Kis
Ko
Pyar
Karun.
The
film
fared
well
at
the
box
office.
Kapil’s
Downfall
While
he
was
getting
ready
for
his
second
Bollywood
film
(Firangi),
the
actor-comedian
grabbed
headlines
as
he
got
into
a
major
fight
with
his
co-actors
Sunil
Grover,
Ali
Asgar
and
others.
His
health
too,
got
upset
and
the
channel
gave
him
a
break
(TKSS
went
off
air).
Kapil
Was
Among
Top
10
Highest
Advance
Tax
Payers
In
Bollywood
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
during
2014-2016,
Kapil
Sharma
was
on
the
top
position,
and
whatever
he
touched
turned
into
gold.
During
2016-2017,
he
was
among
the
top
10
highest
advance
tax
payers
in
Bollywood
(he
was
in
league
of
top

actors,
Salman
Khan,
Deepika
Padukone
and
others).
