Everyone’s life is not the same. Some people have to struggle a lot, while others are born into comfort and luxury. Today, we talk about a famous Indian personality who started as a simple, ordinary man but through hard work, passion, and courage, he is now the owner of a multi-crore empire and a top name in the entertainment industry.
We are talking about Indian comedian and actor Kapil Sharma, who is more famous for his comedy than his acting.
Kapil Sharma’s early life and struggles
Kapil Sharma was born in Amritsar, Punjab. At first, he dreamed of becoming a singer and moved to Mumbai to follow that dream. But fate had something else planned for him. Life took a different turn, and today he owns several businesses and hosts one of the most popular comedy shows in India, The Great Indian Kapil Show, on Netflix.
Kapil Sharma is one of the most popular comedians on Indian television. He has won millions of hearts with his perfect comedy timing and intelligent humor.
He became truly famous in 2007 when he won The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. From that moment, his journey to success began.
But behind his cheerful and funny personality is a deep story of pain, sacrifice, and a strong desire to succeed. He faced a huge loss when his father passed away and had to struggle to move forward in life.
According to Indian media, Kapil Sharma came from a middle-class, hardworking family. His father Jeetendra Kumar Punj was a senior officer in the Punjab Police. He passed away in 2004 due to cancer.
After his father’s death, Kapil had to take care of the family. He started working in a private company where he earned only 500 rupees per month.
Later, he worked in a textile factory and earned 900 rupees per month.
Turning point in Kapil Sharma’s life
While working these small jobs and trying to move forward with comedy, he was so financially weak that he could not even buy a ring for his sister’s engagement.
Then came a big turning point in his life when he won The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and received a prize of 10 lakh rupees.
This win changed everything. Kapil worked even harder and paid for all the expenses of his sister’s wedding. In 2013, he launched his own show Comedy Nights with Kapil and in 2016, he won more praise with The Kapil Sharma Show.
In his shows, he invites famous actors and people from the film industry and entertains everyone with his funny style of talking.
His hard work and dedication brought him great success and now he is a household name in India.
Kapil Sharma’s luxury life
The same man who once earned just a few hundred rupees now lives like a king. He owns luxurious houses, properties, and an impressive collection of luxury cars.
His lifestyle is so grand that Forbes included him in their list of highest-earning celebrities in 2019.
However, his life took another twist when his name started appearing in negative news. His films flopped, and he became addicted to alcohol. Things got worse after a public fight with fellow actor Sunil Grover.
During this time, people started saying that fame had gone to his head. Kapil Sharma fell into deep sadness and even had thoughts of suicide.
For some time, he stayed away from the spotlight, but then he made a strong comeback. He returned with his Netflix special show I Am Not Done Yet and restarted The Kapil Sharma Show.
Today, Kapil Sharma’s total net worth is around 280 crore rupees. Reports say he charges around 5 crore rupees per episode.
Recently, there was an incident at Kapil Sharma’s newly opened restaurant Caps Café in Canada, where 9 bullets were fired. Luckily, no one was hurt.
This café had just opened earlier this week. According to the Surrey Police Service website, the firing happened on 10 July at 1:50 AM at a business location on 120 Street. The police took quick action after the report.
