Rumours were doing rounds that Sumona Chakravarti, who plays Kapil Sharma’s wife, is going to quit the show. It was being said that she was unhappy with the makers’ decision of introducing a new character to play Kapil’s love-interest. It seems the on-screen wife is really possessive of Kapil and is turning green with envy with the mere thought of having a sauten.
Sumona has confirmed that she’s not leaving the show anytime soon. “No, I am not quitting The Kapil Sharma Show. I’m enjoying my stint on TKSS and I am a still part of the show” she told.
In an old interview she had accepted that she’s often addressed as Kapil’s wife and explained why she is irreplaceable.”I am an actor, not a stand-up comedian. It took me a long time to get the hang of comedy even when I did Comedy Circus with Kapil. I am so surprised that people think that I can do comedy by myself, but it is not so. It is so funny that I keep getting calls to do public shows. With Kapil, our chemistry is so brilliant, that we’ve just clicked together and now people love us together. Not many people know that Kapil had initially done a mock shoot with some other actress for Comedy Nights With Kapil. But when Kapil saw the shoot, he was like ‘Please mujhe meri Sumona laa do’. After this show, people actually think I am married to Kapil. Wherever I go, I am addressed as Kapil ki biwi.”
