says Kapil Sharma
- Comedy Nights With Kapil’s Facebook page earns 10mn
fans in less than a year -
They say success can’t
be measured but in the case of Comedy Nights with Kapil, success sure can be
measured and in millions! Last evening, the shows Facebook page crossed a 10
whopping million fans – a first for any Indian television show on the social
media platform.
It’s been less than a
year and the show’s popularity has shot through the roof. The humorous banter
between Kapil Sharma and his wacky family - wife (Sumona Chakravarty),
dadi (Ali Asgar), naukar Raju (Chandan Prabhakar), bua
(Upasana Singh), neighbour Palak (Kiku Sharda) and friend-cum-spectator
Navjot Singh Sidhu have become household names. The show’s format enables
revered personalities from different walks of life to come together and add a
touch of laughter to viewers’ lives every weekend. Over the months, the show
has featured multiple celebrities, adding much excitement and star power while
creating an unadulterated entertainment experience. In fact, thanks to the
craze of the show, Kapil’s personal Facebook fan page has more than 10 million
fans already beating the fan base of stalwarts like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay
Kumar and now even the show’s fan page is following the suit.
Speaking about the
milestone that the show has achieved, producer and show host Kapil Sharma said,
“Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who “likes” our page and shares our
content with their friends. Comedy Nights is not only the No.1 show in
terms of viewership, but now also in terms of fan base. It’s a signal of approval
from the viewers on social media all across the globe that we are creating a
product which people love to watch not only on TV but also consume it on other
digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the mobile app. In
successful collaboration with the COLORS team and continued support from our
fans, my little hobby of making people laugh has grown into a flourishing
content on television, one that I will strive harder to better even further.”
Adding to this, an
elated Palak aka Kiku Sharda said, ““Comedy Nights With Kapil is
extremely special to me. I would like to thank the viewers, especially the
facebook fans for their appreciation for every avatar that I have adopted be it
Palak or Laccha or Palak’s Mom.” According to Kapil’s dearest Daadi
aka Ali Asgar, “Whoever thought that a perpetually drunk grandmother
could become such a rage? I have noticed that more and more fans on Facebook
and Twitter have been reaching out to me asking for a ‘Shagun Ki Pappi’ almost
like the might be seeking blessings before taking on any crucial activities in
their life. Comedy Nights With Kapil has enabled me to experiment with my
acting skills and the feedback from audiences has been absolutely fantastic!”
So what’s in store for
audiences now that the show has crossed the 10 million mark on Facebook? More
fun and laughter, of course! Entertainment has been on a high and the team,
extremely pumped by the achievement, is raring to go ahead and raise the bar.
