Kapil Sharma and Chandan Prabhakar, who are vying for the best stand-up artist title in Sony’s Ustaadon Ka Ustaad, are upset with the critical comments of judges Saroj Khan and Javed Akhtar. Kapil and Chandan, who finished first and second in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge 3 respectively, were constantly subject to extreme criticism and low points from Javed and Saroj.

Chandan Prabhakar

A miffed Chandan says, “The great Umer Sharif rated us highly but Javed and Saroj, who have absolutely nothing to do with stand-up comedy, give us meager marks. They pointed that we needed to come up with more fresh content. But can someone tell me what new content did Shakeel and Urvashi produce that they deserved to win the contest?”

Adding further Chandan says, “In the first episode, Javed lauded Urvashi and Shakeel saying that there was freshness in their content. But haven’t we seen such miya-biwi acts in numerous Pakistani plays before? I wonder what new they saw this time.”

Kapil Sharma

Kapil Sharma had this to say “From the look of things, it appeared that there was favouritism towards contestants of Comedy Circus. What baffled me the most was that despite having enjoyed my jokes, the judges still gave me less marks.”

The third judge Shekhar Suman, who adjudged both TGILC 1,2 and 3, too was left helpless as he had to go with the majority. “Shekharji too appeared a little upset but there was nothing he could do. He too rated our performance as average,” chides Chandan.

As is the current trend which has reality shows making more news after they are over Ustaadon Ka Ustaad is no different
