    On the latest episode of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, Kapil answers the big question: Why he married late despite people asking him to marry soon?

     

    He answers: “Whenever I used to go to see a girl, her parents asked me about my career to which I would revert saying that I am a comedian. I have always got weird replies like, ‘being a comedian is fine, but what do you do to earn money?’ And this was the reason I have always been rejected as everybody thought this art of mine cannot make me earn bread and butter for my family.”

     
     
     
     

    After hearing this, Arun Gemini hilariously added: “Even my mother-in-law asks me that what should she tell her relatives about my career. She still cannot digest the fact that her son-in-law earns through his art of poetry writing”.

     

    The comedian has struggledmake a place for himself in the Bollywood industry. Kapil came back to television with a smashing success as his show, ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ topped the TRP charts.

     

    The second season is being produced by Salman Khan.
