MOHSIN SOOMRO
He came, he struggled, and he conquered the industry. He started his career as a stand-up comedian and with the passage of time, he managed to grab a seat in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. The 38-year-old Sikh origin guy rose to fame from the same platform and now he is the world-famous comedian with the highest TRP ratings. Kapil Sharma struggled as a comedian for almost a decade. He was born in 1981 in a Punjabi Sikh family in 1981. His father was a head constable in Amritsar who was not able to earn much to foot the bill for his family.
Kapil Sharma started his early education in his native town and graduated from the Hindu College Amritsar. Mr. Sharma had no interest in the education. However, it was his father who wanted him to get at least high school studies. Kapil started his career during his college days and he reached Mumbai in the year 2007 for the auditions of the Laughter Challenge. The guy had some serious interest to unleash his true potential that led to his success. He was the winner of the show and got the prize money upto 10 lac.
After this, he found the doors of the industry open to him. Kapil was then invited to many reality shows to perform. He participated in Comedy Circus organised by Sony TV and it was a big hit. Kapil also hosted many other shows including a dance show Jhalak Dikhla Ja which was aired on Colors TV.
The story of Kapil’s successes doesn’t end here. Mr. Comedian wanted to grab a lead role in Bollywood films. It was not possible at first as he was being offered only side roles. However, he made his mind to start with the supporting roles and he appeared in a 2011 flick Bhavnao Ko Samjho where he played the role of a Thakur’s son. He soon realized that the role did not get him much fame. He was waiting for a role which could earn him the step he wanted to put on the road to stardom.
His prayers were answered after four years as he was offered a lead role in a 2015 comedy movie Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon. He was featured with four girls in the movie. However, it was not a big hit and only earned him one award by the Sony Guild Film Awards in the category of Promising Debut Male. He has already bagged many awards for his predominant talent.
Kapil’s Achievements and Awards
The comedy king was honoured with the Best Actor-Comedy award for the Sony TV comedy show Kahaani Comedy Circus Ki which featured Sohail Khan and Archana Puran Singh. In the year 2013, he received an award for his high-rated show Comedy Nights with Kapil.
