Ali Asgar, who shared a great rapport with ace comedian Kapil Sharma on and off screen, is upset how things have gotten worse between the two.
Speaking to ABP, Asgar said that he went to meet Kapil after ex-girlfriend Preeti urged him to do so.
“I heard Kapil is suffering from depression, I felt very bad. We all are with Kapil and will always be there for him. Preeti also called me that Kapil is not well and has apparently not even left his room for days.
When I reached his office, Kapil was lying down. He was close to tears when he saw me and could not even speak. It is clear that he is missing all of us, especially Preeti. He is like a child who wants something but is not able to articulate it.” Asgar said.
Kapil Sharma’s team, however, refuted Asgar’s claims and said Kapil is not in the country so Asgar could not have met him
Ali requested Kapil to sit and sort out all the differences.
“I feel things have got stretched too much and it is damaging everyone, especially Kapil. I feel there can never be any solution till the time we keep reacting on social media. It’s high time now that we sit across and sort out things. I am requesting Kapil to please meet us, sit across and just finish it off.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t work together post that. But it is important to sit and discuss. I am missing him badly and so is he, but we are not able to arrive at a conclusion. My nature is such that I feel bad when I see people making fun of the situation and laughing at us. We are not enemies, we have worked together and seen beautiful moments.
We are grownups, mature professional people. We can’t keep things dragging we need to stop somewhere. It is more than a year now that we have stopped working after that incident (mid-air fight).”

Earlier, 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.”
While Neeti had defended her and her sister in a social media post, Preeti had spoken to Hindustan Times.
She said in the interview, “My biggest concern is his mental health, which has deteriorated drastically in the past few months. I’ve spoken to him many times, he has messaged me and visited me and I’ve realised that he’s not the same man that he was a year ago. It’s not just depression.. it could be bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
He’s getting suicidal thoughts. I’ve seen a very different him. His face has changed, his eyes have changed. He switches topics when he is talking. He repeats the same things 10 times when he speaks to me. Whoever has doing this to him, I really want to say, ‘give up, move out, and take him to a rehab and give the poor man a chance to live’.”
Kapil Sharma’s team, however, refuted Asgar’s claims and said Kapil is not in the country so Asgar could not have met him.
“As a part of Mr. Kapil Sharma’s team, we would like to emphasise that recent stories doing the rounds that Mr. Sharma has met Mr. Ali Asgar and has written Ms Preeti Simoes name on his hand, are completely false.
We are equally shocked to hear about this ourselves and are surprised that Mr. Asgar, whom Mr. Sharma has always considered a friend, would make such hurtful statements. In fact, Mr. Sharma and his fiancee, Ginni are currently travelling together,” an official statement from Kapil’s spokesperson said.
