NEW DELHI (Web Desk) - The troubles of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ are likely to escalate as a complaint has now been filed against Navjot Singh Sidhu, a fellow member of the comedy show’s cast, for making inappropriate jokes.
According to Indian Express, the complaint has been filed by HC Arora, an advocate of Punjab and Haryana High Court. He had earlier filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in court against Sidhu in the same case.

In a letter to Punjab chief secretary Karan A Singh, the complainant wrote, “I viewed the Kapil Sharma Show on Saturday from 9 pm to around 10.15 pm. The ‘comedy’ of Kapil Sharma, and particularly that of Navjot Singh Sidhu was replete with vulgar, double-meanings and obscene dialogues. It violated various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, as well as those of the Information and Technology (IT) Act. Their dialogues offended my conscience while viewing the show along with my wife and daughters… Although I am yet to procure a recorded version of the utterances of these two comedians, yet on the basis of whatever I can recollect, Sidhu told Kapil Sharma ‘Kapil, you please get married, otherwise after crossing 40-years of age, you shall lose your reproductive capacity’.”
He also gave reference of another vulgar joke and said, “I would, therefore, call upon you to convey my feelings to chief minister, that the situation has reached such alarming proportions that the chief minister must rein his colleague Navjot Singh Sidhu.”
On April 7, Sidhu was approached by the court about the ethics surrounding his appearances on the show while being a government minister.
“Everything is not about law, but what about propriety and morals? If a minister is not following service rules, how can he make his juniors follow it?” asked the Court. The final argument in the case is fixed on May 11.
Sidhu was absent from the show s shoot of an episode, raising eyebrows that he also might be leaving the show.
The show is already suffering from the spat of Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover as the latter decided to quit after the incident.
