Kapil Sharma

A mid-flight fracas with co-act Sunil Grover in March had seemingly tolled the death knell for Kapil Sharma's skit-cum-chat show. Along with Sunil aka Rinku Bhabhi, three other artistes - Ali Asgar (Nani), Chandan Prabhakar (Chandu) and Sugandha Mishra (Teacher) - also quit the show, forcing Kapil to introduce a host of new comics. TRPs plummeted swiftly and in the first week of April, the channel gave him a month's notice to get his act together.
