Kapil Sharma has often joked about co-comedian Simona Chakraborty's appearance.
MUMBAI (Web Desk) - Famous Indian comedian Kapil Sharma says he is not allowed to speak certain words on his own show.
Talking on Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor's show, Kapil Sharma said humour has changed a lot in today's era and people feel bad about certain things.
Kareena Kapoor asked Kapil if he keeps in mind what things to make fun of and what things to refrain from when he writes the scripts?
On this, Kapil said in today's era, due to social media, people's information and awareness has increased, now people have started seeing things from a different angle and that is the reason why they have become more sensitive and are easily offended.
Kapil told Kareena that 'this happens often, we come from such a society, for example I am from Amritsar, Punjab, there is a culture where girl’s family tease and make fun of boy’s side on the occasion of weddings. Making fun of someone's appearance and size has also been common in the society, but now if we do it, it is called body shaming.
"When you work on big channels, you can't even imagine what kind of restrictions they impose," he said. Recently I was told by my channel that I can't use the word 'crazy'. So don't use this word. I didn't understand, so I asked them for an explanation, to which they told that people who are jokingly being called crazy actually feel bad, so don't use that word.
Kapil Sharma added, "Although we use this word many times in our daily life for our children, brothers and sisters, I think we are going backwards."
The comedian quoted Indian writer Javed Akhtar and said, "I remember in an interview, Javed Akhtar said in the scene of the movie Sholay, when Dharmendra is hiding behind the statue of Lord Shiva and talking to Hema Malini, he wanted to write some sentences but could not write because in this situation there was fear of hurting people's feelings due to these sentences.'
Kapil Sharma has often joked about co-comedian Simona Chakraborty's appearance and Kiko Sharda's obesity in his show, which has been objected to by some circles.
