Rajiev expresses deep concern over Kapil's health
Rajiev, who was a creative partner in Kapil's shows and also the director of 'Firangi' said, "Yes, Kapil is on heavy medication. His health is of primary concern.

He indirectly slammed Kapil's ex-girlfriend Preeti Simoes and her sister
"They know who they are. Kapil is still an innocent small-town boy. People exploited his innocence for their gains. Even now when he's suffering so much they're trying to play on his guilt so that he would take them back in his life," he said.
Context
Kapil is at an all-time low both personally and professionally
For the past few months, Kapil has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. Just before the onset of his comeback show, he had an ugly public spat with Sunil Grover. And when his new show, 'Family Time With Kapil Sharma' didn't garner the expected response, it has officially been scrapped. Most recently, he was under fire for his abusive rant against a journalist.
