After Sony TV confirmed sacked Navjot Singh Sidhu from The Kapil Sharma show, the host has spoken up about the matter.

A trend to boycott The Kapil Sharma Show has emerged as Navjot Singh Sidhu’s controversial statement on Pulwama terror attack. Sony TV then announced that they replaced the former cricketer with Archana Puran Singh. However, the host of the show, Kapil Sharma has spoken about the issue.

Talking about Sony TV action to remove Sidhu from the show in an anti-drug event in Chandigard, Kapid expressed: Abhi Navjot Singh Sidhu ke kuch aur commitment hain isliye humare saath Archana Puran Singh shoot kar rahe hain. Maujuda waqt mein Sidhu humaare sath nahi hain. (Because of some prior commitments of Sidhu, currently, Archana is shooting with us.)

Earlier in an interaction with media, Sidhu commented on the attack, said: "For a 'handful of people', can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished."

The former cricketer then faced harsh criticism from the audience and fans even call for boycotting him on the Internet.

In another note, after the brutal Pulwama terror attack that killed at least 40 CRPF personnel, the Federation Of Western India Cine Employees has called for a ban over Bollywood working with Pakistani artists. Kapil Sharma also shared his opinion about this taken:
