Kapil Sharma

My style is an extension of acting and an outcome of some serious lessons I picked up learning when I did theatre in my early days.

It is hurtful to read things which are not true. I am learning to focus only on my work and not pay heed to any negativity.

I am an Air Force brat who grew up at various Air Force bases. I changed six schools in about five years and got stability for the first time when I was sent to a boarding school, Rishi Valley. I lived outside of a cantonment-style living and was among an eclectic mix of kids and got exposed to books and other things.

Every artist says that he/she wants to do something challenging, and I'm not any different. If someone approaches me with a serious role, I'll be more than happy.

It's not easy for an outsider to understand this industry.

I love eggs, particularly omelettes, and can eat anda-pav at any time of the day.

I used to feel that I wouldn't be able to marry, since I am not a responsible person. I love two things - my work and music.

I remember how difficult it was to resist the food served on the sets of a movie directed by Abbas and Mustan. They love food, and I could not resist digging into their dabba for some wonderful meals.

I have received so much love from people. Why will I feel insecure? I am happy.

The problem with feature filmmaking is that it offers you this mirage of being able to achieve perfection, as the theory of it is that you have control of every part of the film, though in reality, it is as inexact as the next thing in your life.

People tell me that my appearance in real life is better than on-screen. Perhaps people think I am exactly like the characters I play on TV.

I used to do a lot of serious theatre during my school and college days. Comedy was only reserved for youth festival and inter-college competitions. Then once 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge' was launched, a regional channel in Punjab started a program based on that. I participated in it and emerged as the winner.
