Kapil Sharma, today is a known comedian and probably the best we have in the country. But there was a time when the comedy king wasn’t so successful and was struggling financially. Kapil’s father was in Punjab police and Kapil had lost him at a very young age. After his father’s demise, Kapil’s family was not financially stable.

However, things changed for Kapil when he decided to pursue his career in comedy. Kapil participated in the show ‘The Comedy Circus’ and even won the finale. Kapil’s journey started off after the show and since then there’s no looking back for him. Today, he runs his own show with the Sony channel called ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ and is widely popular among the Indian audience.

But talking about his beginnings and love life Kapil opened his heart in an interview with The Man magazine. Kapil Sharma, who is now married to Ginni Chatrath and has two kids was first approached by his wife. Kapil recalled the time and said that Ginnin was his student back in the days when he used to perform in theater groups and visited various colleges.

According to Kapil, Ginni was in all-girls college in Jalandhar and was 3-4 years junior to him. Whereas, Kapil was in a co-ed college studying PG diploma in commercial arts where he met Ginni in one of his college visits for performing theater. “She was good at skits and histrionics, so I made her my assistant. Then I found out that madam started liking me, so I explained to her that the car you come in costs more than what my entire family put together is worth! So, it just wouldn’t be possible between us,” he said.
