I was shooting for Comedy Nights, it was a night shoot and a friend called up to say that a young friend of mine, in Punjab, died. He was 35 or 36. Suddenly, I felt I won't be able to do anything now,” Kapil asserted.

He further added, “I went backstage, took a five-minute break, and even abused my friend for calling me at the time. I told him ‘Why did you call me now, whatever had to happen has already happened.”

I believe when you are on the stage, whether it was Comedy Nights or Kapil Sharma Show, I think the stage has some magic that divine powers help you. You are going there with a good intention you want to make people laugh. That divine power cools you down and things get going.”
