Kapil Sharma has risen to fame with Great Indian Laughter Challenge and then, he took Indian TV by storm with Comedy Circus, Comedy Nights and The Kapil Sharma Show. Earlier, this year, the actor had to face criticism over his drunk antics in a plane against his crew members, Sunil, Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar. He fell from grace ever since that incident and he revealed how alcoholism affected his life.

Kapil Sharma produced a movie titled, Firangi and he released the theatrical trailer of the movie, scheduled for 24th November release. At the press meet, he said, “I had to go through a lot of negativity in the recent past. People stopped coming on my show due to negative publicity and also fall in TRPs. I thought alcohol would help me but realized it is failing more. I tried to control things but lost myself in self-pity. I am like this and I don’t really think have to change much.”

He then revealed about his movie and suicidal tendencies he had while trying to figure out his way out of all the negativity. “My director and my friends tried to help me in this tough period but media kept hitting me hard with all the more negative stories. I couldn’t bring myself to work and when one of my friends suggested me to shift to sea view apartment, I wanted to jump into it. I was completely depressed and started recovering from it post the show. This movie is my friend Rajiev Dingra’s dream and I hope the movie will be a success for all of us!”
