Comedian-turned-actor Kapil Sharma’s comeback show Family Time with Kapil Sharma has been suspended for a month following the cancellation of recent episodes.

FTWKS was touted to be Kapil’s comeback show after a controversial 2017. From his infamous brawl with Sunil Grover to cancelling promotional episodes with B-Town celebs, Kapil failed to make a triumphant return to the small screen as the comedian didn’t land on the expectations of fans.

Family Time with Kapil Sharma, which made its premier on the small screen on March 25, has been suspended for a month and no new episodes will be aired for the month of April.

According to reports, Kapil’s health is the main reason for the show’s abrupt suspension as the comedian can’t focus on his work because of his health, which is why he has been cancelling the shoots of his latest show.

This not the first time that the comedian’s health has taken a toll on his work. Previously, Kapil apparently fainted during the promotional shoot of Jab Harry Met Sejal and had to cancel the shoot with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma.

Coming back to his latest show, Family Time with Kapil Sharma opened to a polarised response from fans and critics.

The major concern is the fact that Kapil has been constantly cancelling shoots or delaying it by hours.

Reportedly, the promotional episode of Baaghi 2 was delayed by a few hours because of his poor health. Also, Kapil had to shoot with Rani Mukerji for the success of Hichki alongside the children who were Rani’s co-stars in the film. Kapil delayed the shoot by a few hours and eventually cancelled it due to “technical difficulties” and his health.

The channel’s decision of suspending the show for a month came right after the constant cancellations of shoots on the show and Kapil’s ugly conversation with a news-editor of an online leading daily.

In other news, Kapil has filed a police complaint against the news-editor for allegedly destroying his mental peace and extorting money from him. Kapil filed the complaint on Saturday (April 7) a day after the editor released a call recording of the comedian, where he is abusing him for manipulating the facts and destroying his life.
