Vijay Sethupathi shares why he became an actor, leaves Kapil Sharma in splits
Vijay Sethupathi left Kapil Sharma in splits on The Great Indian Kapil Show with his honest reason for becoming an actor, as seen in a leaked promo.
Kapil Sharma is among the most renowned comedians and television figures in India, particularly recognized for transforming the format of stand-up comedy on Indian television. He was born on April 2, 1981, in Amritsar, Punjab, and his successful journey began further in 2007 when he won the show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. He stirred public interest with his ability to improvise, quick wit, and his relatability in terms of humor and comic timing.
Kapil Sharma's first big break as a television figure was in 2013 with the commencement of his own, self-titled, comedy television show, Comedy Nights with Kapil. His breakthrough into the mainstream was massive and, without a doubt, changed the landscape of televised comedy in India. He took sketch comedy and incorporated a variety of celebrity interviews in a format that could be enjoyed by all ages. Later, he again hosted a show titled The Kapil Sharma Show, also loosely formatted on interviews, which became the most-watched show in India, where he regularly hosted Bollywood celebrities to promote their various films and projects, in a light-hearted manner.
Through all of his ups and downs, be it his health, personal issues, or career controversies, he has maintained a consistent comeback; and the audience's respect and adoration of him grew, and grew again, because of his ability to bounce back time and again. He has also worked in film, notably in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon and later Zwigato, which only demonstrates his potential, depth, and range in his performance ability.
Kapil Sharma's success is not solely based on success, but certainly on hard work, persistence, and the ability to connect with simple, everyday people.

This report examines the escalating legal battle between the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the West Bengal government. The Supreme Court has stayed three FIRs filed by the West Bengal police against ED officers following searches at the IPAC office. The ED has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of theft, alleging that she and senior officials 'barged into the IPAC office and taking away files and devices.' The Trinamool Congress (TMC) countered that the ED deliberately targeted the office to access confidential election data. The Supreme Court noted that the petition raised a 'very serious issue relating to investigations by ED or other central agencies and interference by state agencies.' The bench expressed concern over disruptions at the Calcutta High Court, questioning if the court had become a protest site. The court has issued a notice to the state government regarding the ED's plea to transfer the probe to the CBI.
India Today Legal Editor Nalini Sharma reports on the Supreme Court's expected verdict on the bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The accused have been in jail for nearly six years under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). A bench led by Justice Arvind Kumar reserved the order in December 2025 after hearing appeals against the Delhi High Court's refusal to grant bail. While Umar Khalid was recently granted interim bail for his sister's wedding, regular bail remains elusive. The prosecution maintains the riots were part of a 'larger conspiracy' timed with the US President's visit, whereas the defence argues that prolonged incarceration without trial makes bail imperative. The broadcast also references alleged speeches by Sharjeel Imam regarding the 'Chicken's Neck' corridor.
