Amid swirling rumors about her exit from The Kapil Sharma Show and alleged tensions with Kapil Sharma, actor Sumona Chakravarti has set the record straight. In an exclusive interview with News18, she denied any truth to these speculations.
Sumona, who recently returned to India after filming “Khatron Ke Khiladi 14” in Romania, found herself at the center of controversy. Reports suggested that she was not informed about Kapil’s new show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, and that she was “upset” with Kapil. However, Sumona firmly refuted these claims.
Sumona’s Response
Addressing the rumors, Sumona said, “It is so weird because literally a few days ago, there was a very nice article. I had spoken to a journalist and had said exactly the opposite thing. Then, of course, two days later another publication decided to write an article which said completely the opposite. I had nothing to say because I was also in Romania.”
She further clarified, “I have said this time and again, I was part of a show which ended in July last year and it’s not like you exited or I resigned or I got fired, the show ended in July and after that, we all went ahead. We took up our individual projects after that. I’m doing *Khatron Ke Khiladi*. He (Kapil Sharma) did another show. It’s just that there is no bad blood at all. Why would I be upset (with Kapil)? He and I worked before and I went to Romania.”
Sumona was an integral part of Kapil Sharma’s comedy shows, from Comedy Nights With Kapil to The Kapil Sharma Show. Her departure has been the subject of much speculation.
Handling Negativity
When asked about the impact of negative reports, the 36-year-old actor confessed that such things no longer affect her as they did when she began her career 20 years ago. “Your opinion of me is not my responsibility,” she said, sharing her mantra for detaching from negativity.
What’s Next
Sumona is not part of The Great Indian Kapil Show. However, she will be seen in the adventure reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, premiering on July 27. Excited for fans to see a different side of her, Sumona admitted she has “surprised” herself by joining the show and looks forward to seeing how she fared in the challenges.
