Is Kapil Sharma Suffering From Depression? Here Is What His Friends And Others Revealed

IANS, 10 Apr, 2018 01:53 PM

    Last week Kapil went on a Twitter rant, after which he slammed his ex-Preeti Simoes with a police complaint claiming that she instigated negative stories about him which took a toll on the comedian's health

     

    And while the matter is still being talked about, Kapil’s friend and associate Gurjot and an ex-employee from his show have now revealed some shocking details about Preeti’s fraudulent ways.

     

    Gurjot who is an associate and friend of Kapil Sharma and Anushree an ex-employee of Kapil gave their statements.

     

    According to Advocate Tanveer Nizam, Gurjot revealed how an amount of Rs 25 lakhs was demanded to extort from Kapil. Anushree has disclosed how, without Kapil’s knowledge, illicit money was taken by managers from front seat ticket sales of Rs 30,000 each. Several instances of wrongdoing were cited by her too including unexplained large sums were transferred from Kapil’s account.

     

    Kapil’s friend Rajiev Dhingra -- who also directed his film Firangi -- has also now alleged that it has all been engineered by Preeti Simoes who was the creative director of Kapil Sharma Show and Comedy Nights.

     

    Speaking to Mumbai Mirror in an interview, Dhingra said Preeti and her sister Neeti are “responsible for driving Kapil into depression”. He also expressed fears that Kapil may harm himself.

     

    “Preeti is responsible for driving Kapil into depression, she harassed me as well and tried to instigate him against me. As soon as she learnt that he was marrying his girlfriend Ginni (Chatrath), she vowed to destroy him and turn his friends against him. All the controversies in Kapil’s life happened only in the last one year after Preeti vowed to destroy him,” Rajiv told the tabloid.

     

    He further said, “Not only is he unwell, even his mother isn’t keeping well and we are afraid he will harm himself.” He also hinted that the spat between Sunil Grover and Kapil may also have been staged by Preeti: “Bharti (Singh) told Preeti about Ginni and she would tell him that he is a star and deserves someone better than Ginni, a small-town girl. Sunil Grover was also used as a pawn towards that goal.”

     

    “Remember that we care.”

     

    This is how Neeti, sister of Kapil Sharma’s alleged ex-girlfriend Preeti Simoes’ sister, begins her Twitter address to the comedian.

     

    Preeti and Neeti were accused of hampering Kapil’s career and his mental well being by the comedian’s friend, Firangi director Rajiev Dhingra.

     

    He talked to Mumbai Mirror and said, “Preeti is responsible for driving Kapil into depression, she harassed me as well and tried to instigate him against me. As soon as she learnt that he was marrying his girlfriend Ginni (Chatrath), she vowed to destroy him and turn his friends against him. All the controversies in Kapil’s life happened only in the last one year after Preeti vowed to destroy him.”

     
     

    In the tweet, Neeti vehemently defended herself and her sister. She wrote, “From the last 4-5 days we are witnessing a lot of people making false accusations on us.”

     

    She added, “Probably the easy way out would have been us reacting in the same manner or our legal team you/your representatives a defamation notice since even you know there is no truth/proof to these allegations especially when you yourself have not messaged or just called us many times (in a sober condition) asking us to come back and help you out in a situation where you feel stuck, helpless but have also visited our house last month and met our entire family who got emotional seeing your state. We, as in the entire team and family, were working a way out to get back to you and sort everything (sic).”

     
     

    There are spelling mistakes and discontinuity in the upper-lower case of words, which suggests that the post might have been written in an agitated state. She further said, “You went back home, and due to pressure which you shared with us, you disappeared. Now there is no way to contact you and help you.”

     

    She also addressed the elephant in the room that everybody has been talking about. She pointed towards Kapil’s rumoured drinking habit. Neeti wrote, “I am very sure whatever you have said and accused us for has been under the influence of alcohol and people around you.”

     
     

    Neeti said that they want to meet and help Kapil Sharma in the presence of the media, police and legal team. She said that the only condition for such a meeting would be that Kapil “won’t come under the influence of alcohol.”

     

    At one point, she also called Kapil ‘bhaiya’ and said, “Hum aapki bahut fikr karte hain, and we all have moved on since a year accepting things as destiny.”

     

    She also said, “We will neither react nor accept your tweets as we are not sure what state of mind you are in.”
