Anupam Kher Clears The Air On 'The Kapil Sharma Show' And 'The Kashmir Files' Controversy
Mumbai, March 14 - Veteran actor Anupam Kher has broken his silence on the ongoing controversy between Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" and comedian Kapil Sharma's show. ## Earlier, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had alleged that Kapil Sharma didn't invite "The Kashmir Files" team to promote the film on "The Kapil Sharma Show", as it doesn't have a big star. After his comments, a section of social media users went after Kapil Sharma and demanded a boycott of his show. ## Anupam Kher, who has played a prominent role in the film, however, said that Kapil is at no fault. During an interview with Times Now, the 67-year old actor said that Kapil had invited him to promote his film but he refused to go on the show as it is a very serious film that must not be promoted on a comedy show. ## "Ye film bari serious hai (this film is very serious), I do not want to be a part of the show. But I have to say, Kapil does not have any malice towards us or towards the film", said Anupam Kher in interaction with Navika Kumar of Times Now.## "Let me not call it Oscar moment, let me say it, the greatest moment of achievement ...", @AnupamPKher recollects his experience working with The Kashmiri Files.@vivekagnihotri joins the discussion with @navikakumar on @thenewshour#ReOpenKashmirFiles @thenewshour pic.twitter.com/i0syrL7Npd— TIMES NOW (@TimesNow) March 14, 2022 ## Meanwhile, even without big promotion, "The Kashmir Files", is going bonkers at the box office.
