Kapil Sharma tells Shehnaaz Gill his flirting on TKSS is all scripted: ‘Channel has asked me do so…’

Kapil Sharma: Comedy show host and actor Kapil Sharma had a revelation to make on the show Shehnaaz Gill's Desi Vibes. Kapil was the guest on the latest episode of the celebrity chat show by Shehnaaz Gill. While talking to Shehnaaz, Kapil got candid about his personal and professional life. At some time during the show, Shahnaaz accused him of flirting with every woman coming to his comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show (TKSS). In response Kapil revealed that it was all scripted. He said he was asked by the channel to do so. The answer left the host surprised.

Kapil, who will soon be seen in Zwigato, told Shehnaaz that after he married Ginni Chatrath, and became father to two children, he felt 'shy when a heroine would come' on The Kapil Sharma Show.

Channel asked him to flirt

He said the channel sent him a mail asking him to flirt with celebrity guests. Kapil said he asked the channel to send a copy of the email to his wife 'so she doesn’t get offended' when he flirts on the comedy show.

Kapil and Ginni Chatrath married  in 2018. They became parents to daughter Anayra Sharma in December 2019 and son Trishaan in 2021.

On Desi Vibes with Shehnaaz Gill, Shehnaaz said she was upset that Kapil did not react to her comment on one of his social media posts. “I have your number, I can call you too… but I don’t like calling you, maybe you’re with your girlfriend or your wife," Shehnaaz joked. To this, Kapil answered, “Jab wife ho jati hai phir koi girlfriend nahi hoti (when you have a wife, you don’t have girlfriends).”

Flirting is scripted

Shehnaaz told Kapil in Hindi, “You flirt on your show all the time. Someone comes and you just go on and on flirting with that person.” Kapil told her that flirting is scripted. “It’s not like that, it is in the script. It’s not like I do mazaak with anyone and everyone.”

When Shehnaaz looked surprised, Kapil said, “You won’t believe it, but the channel has asked me to (do so)… After I got married I used to feel shy, when a heroine would come (on the show). I would wonder what I’ll talk to them about. And then when I had kids I became even more serious, so I wouldn’t touch that angle and talk about their film. So they (the channel) wrote me an email that I’m missing this aspect and quoted a survey. So I told them to send a copy of that email to my wife also, so that she doesn’t get offended (when I flirt). I’m a romantic bird of India, like how the peacock is the national bird of India."

Zwigato to release on March 17
