On Sunday, Kapil Sharma returned to Mumbai from Bengaluru where he was undergoing an anti-toxification treatment at an ayurvedic centre.
The treatment was supposed to last for 40 days. But Kapil begged off in just 12 days. “He needed to return to Mumbai to complete his film Firangi and start promoting and marketing it for its November release,” says a close friend of Kapil.
There have been reports that Kapil is returning with his show “early next month”. Describing this announcement about his return as “someone’s idea of making news,” Kapil’s friend says he is recovering well but needs time. “Kapil is feeling much better. I can sense the changes in him. He had been pushing himself too far during the last few years. His mind and body gave warning signals. He wasn’t taking these warnings seriously. Now, finally God planned this break for him. And it has done him a world of good. Kapil has stopped drinking completely, at least, for now.”
As for the return of The Kapil Sharma Show, the friend says, “The show will return only when Kapil has fully recovered. Kapil has realised health is the most important thing in life. As for the show, it is very dear to him and it isn’t going anywhere.”
The Kapil Sharma Show will be back next year.
