Kapil Sharma Is On Medication, Colleague Chandan Prabhakar Reveals
Chandan Prabhakar requests everyone to give Kapil Sharma some time and space.
Kapil Sharma has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The comedian got into an ugly verbal fight with a journalist and with his ex-colleagues, Preeti and Neeti Simoes. Kapil's sudden change in behaviour has alarmed everyone in the industry and fans, too. Reports that are doing the rounds suggest that Kapil is suffering from acute depression. Colleague and close friend, Chandan Prabhakar also spoke to Pinkvilla and confirmed that the comedian is under medication and requested everyone to dial down on all the negativity around him. He also added that he should be given his own time and space at the moment.
He told the portal, "He is very depressed, we should give him space. The more we talk about it, the more he will be affected by the negativity around it. I don't understand why there is so much negativity around him. He made the entire country laugh for so long and the same people are today speaking negative about him. He is a very genuine person." He adds, "He was fine during the shoots but what happens is the journalist in question keeps poking Kapil with those negative articles and Kapil is an emotional person and it affects him. He is not someone who can manipulate things, he takes things to heart. Following all this, he reacted the way he did."

Kapil told Bollywood Hungama, "The people who want my career destroyed can spread whatever lies they want. I am okay with it. I am not new to people piggy riding on my success. Let them. As long as it gives them the satisfaction that they want. I know what I am doing. And my channel Sony Entertainment are completely behind me." What are your thoughts on this?
