Kapil versus his ex-managers
The comedy star has not spared his ex-managers, Neeti and Preeti, and he has taken the legal route against them too. Kapil has accused all three of them of starting a malicious propaganda to defame him after he refused to pay them Rs. 25 lakh. On the other hand, the journalist alleged that Kapil also hurled abuses at him over the phone.

Apparently he was upset about some stories against him. I was only doing my work. He called me, used abusive language also said offensive things about my daughter.

A big blow
Meanwhile, audience won't have 'family time' this weekend
Owing to Kapil's continuous absence, the channel couldn't shoot any new episodes. Thus, 'Family Time With Kapil Sharma' won't be aired this weekend. "Kapil has been keeping to himself and seems like he is depressed and worried about something. He isn't talking to his team or interacting with anyone," said a media report. Only three episodes of the show have been aired so far.
