Comedian Kapil Sharma has been grappling with health issues for quite some time now. His show Comedy Nights with Kapil has also gone off-air now. The comedian-actor is busy promoting his upcoming film, Firangi.

Kapil spoke to a leading daily about the controversies and said, “In the place and circumstances I come from, we lived within our means. When I began my career in TV, I worked hard, for 10 years straight and without a break. I didn’t realise when I moved from a cycle to a Mercedes. I managed to acquire all these things but I wasn’t sure how to handle them. I didn’t sit down to think I need a PR or a business manager to guide me. I said and did what I felt without giving it much thought. I was two drinks down when I tweeted to Modiji and dragged him into my personal issue. I haven’t changed since my younger days where my friends and I would return to the hostel after winning a match, drink and brawl, and then forget about it in the morning. That’s our culture. But now I am 36, and maybe I need to act my age.”

He also said that he realizes his erroneous judgments. He was quoted saying, “I realise my mistakes very quickly. I just need to begin learning from them. Maybe my comedy is richer now due to my experiences. I have seen a lot and that slips into my comedy. I am not sure if someone born with a silver spoon will have the humour I am capable of.”
