Kangana Ranaut, celebrated for her versatile performances, has been selected to contest from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, while Arun Govil, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Lord Ram, has been chosen as a candidate from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. This decision has ignited fervent discussions regarding the intersection of Bollywood and politics, further fueled by the inclusion of comedian Kapil Sharma in the discourse.

"I find that when someone steps into politics, they adopt a serious demeanor. I'm not sure why," expressed Kapil. "I enjoy what I do, having fun and conversing in my own style. However, entering politics demands seriousness, which I don't feel suited for. We find contentment in our current pursuits, and the future remains uncertain."
Reflecting on the imminent return of Kapil Sharma and his team with a revamped show, it's pertinent to revisit the trajectory of his comedic journey. In 2013, Kapil Sharma pioneered 'Comedy Nights with Kapil,' captivating audiences with his unique brand of humor on Colors. The show's success prompted a transition to Sony Channel, where it evolved into 'The Kapil Sharma Show,' becoming a household favorite. Now, after a successful stint on Sony, the show has found a new home on the OTT platform Netflix.
