After Salman Khan, it's Kapil Sharma who is embroiled in controversies. Though Kapil is making things more messy and Bhai is letting his team do all the work for him. Kapil has been in the news for his abusive tweets to a journalist, a recording of which has gone viral on the internet. Fans are disappointed and upset over Kapil's rash behaviour and the words he used while talking to the journalist. Kapil's ex-girlfriend and former Creative Head of The Kapil Sharma Show, Preeti Simoes, has now spilled beans over the comedian's behaviour. Kapil filed a harassment case on Preeti and Neeti Simoes, too, for allegedly trying to extort Rs. 25 lakhs from him.

When asked about Kapil's allegations that Preeti tried to extort money from him, she laughed and told Hindustan Times, "He is crazy. I have my own production house and I come from a very educated and professional family background. Why will I extort from him a petty amount of Rs 25 lakhs, which will be divided among three people?" Preeti also mentioned that she is quite worried for Kapil's mental health. She blames Kapil's fiancé, Ginni Chatrath for maybe tweeting from his phone. Preeti finds it difficult to believe that Kapil could ever stoop so low.

She adds, "I am hoping it’s not Kapil who has posted these tweets. The Kapil I know is a very intelligent, bright, young and dynamic man. It’s most certainly his girlfriend Ginni Chatrath or maybe some friend, who is using his phone and doing all this. And if this is what Ginni and her one year with Kapil has brought him to, I feel sorry for both of them - Kapil for the choices he has made, and Ginni, because she didn’t know how to handle a Kapil Sharma."

Preeti feels that Kapil's deteriorating mental health is what she is concerned about right now. She says, "My biggest concern is his mental health, which has deteriorated drastically in the past few months. I’ve spoken to him many times, he has messaged me and visited me and I’ve realised that he’s not the same man that he was a year ago. It’s not just depression.. it could be bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. He’s getting suicidal thoughts. I’ve seen a very different him. His face has changed, his eyes have changed. He switches topics when he is talking. He repeats the same things 10 times when he speaks to me. Whoever has doing this to him, I really want to say, ‘give up, move out, and take him to a rehab and give the poor man a chance to live’. I am scared because tomorrow, if in this state of depression, he does something, they’ll lose such a beautiful person."

Can't say we're not shocked! The Producer of Sunil Grover's new show also adds that the entire team wanted to work with Kapil once again but it was Kapil's finace who stopped him every now and then. Preeti told Pinkvilla, "Kapil then told us that it is family pressure and he cannot work with us. I understand that it is family pressure, maybe his current girlfriend is not comfortable with him working with his ex but they don't have the maturity to understand that some people grow in life."

She adds, "One year after a breakup, I won't be sitting and holding a candle waiting for him na? We could have worked in a professional space but she wasn't comfortable at all. She would keep telling him NO and this happened like 10 times. He used to tell us he wants to work with us, he had big dreams but he is not mentally stable.They have ruined him completely."
