The journey of The Kapil Sharma Show began almost 6 years ago and its popularity has not diminished even a tad bit. The comedy chat show continues to top TRP charts weeks after week due to its entertaining format. Set against the fictional background of Sharma and its neighbour in the Shantivan Non Co-operative Housing Society, the host invites popular celebrity guests to his reel house for discussing their professional projects, thereby taking audiences on a roller coaster ride of laughter with his pun-intended takes on vivid topics. It was recently that comedian Kapil Sharma took to Instagram to announce the brand new season of his sketch comedy show.
However, several media reports claim that Krushna Abhishek who is known for playing the character Sapna and mimicking Bollywood celebs, won’t be a part of the new season. A report in ETimes suggests that he chose to call it quits for the show over a pay dispute.
It is important to note that neither the makers nor Krushna Abhishek has issued an official statement on the matter as of yet. But this isn’t the first time when a cast member has left the comedy show. Now, as reports of Krushna Abhishek’s exit have created a massive buzz, let’s take a look at other stars who chose to bid adieu even after gaining immense popularity.
