A Journey That Began in Amritsar

Born on April 2, 1981, in Amritsar, Kapil Sharma is today regarded as the biggest face on Indian television. He has given Hindi audiences the kind of laughter that was deeply missed for years. Proving the saying “Laughter is the Best Medicine,” Kapil turned The Kapil Sharma Show into a weekend ritual—something viewers simply can’t imagine missing.

Kapil completed his schooling at Shri Ram Ashram Senior Secondary School in Amritsar. It was here that he first stepped onto the stage, and it became clear that this boy was no ordinary talent. From acting to singing at school functions, Kapil shone every time he faced an audience.

During his college years at Hindu College, he participated in several youth festivals and won awards. Despite financial hardships, he never let his talent take a back seat. His strong association with Jalandhar’s APJ College of Fine Arts followed, where he not only performed theatre but also trained children to earn some money and support his family.

Early Jobs at a Young Age — From PCO to Textile Mill

Uncomfortable with asking for money, Kapil started working in his teenage years. First, he worked at a PCO for ₹500 a month, and after Class 10, he took up a job at a textile mill earning ₹900 per month. He rarely brought the money home—sometimes buying a music system, sometimes gifts for his mother.

Losing His Father at 22

Kapil’s father, a head constable in the Punjab Police, passed away due to cancer in 2004. This was the biggest shock of Kapil’s life. The responsibility of the family fell on his shoulders. Although Kapil was offered a job in the police department, he refused, and his elder brother joined in his father’s place.

Kapil initially dreamt of becoming a singer, but destiny led him to theatre. His talent became so evident that a college in Amritsar offered him free admission on the condition that he would represent the college at the state level in acting. From here, his journey truly began to gain momentum.

The First Big Step

During his graduation vacations, Kapil came to Mumbai with just ₹1,200 and big dreams—but returned empty-handed due to lack of work. This failure became his first big lesson. He later auditioned for The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and was rejected the first time. However, he didn’t give up. At the Delhi auditions, he not only got selected but went on to become the winner of Season 3.

The prize money of ₹10 lakh was used to fund his sister’s wedding. After this success, Kapil became part of shows like Chhote Miyan, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and Comedy Circus, all of which further boosted his popularity.

K9 Productions and Comedy Nights with Kapil

With rising popularity came the confidence to become a producer. Kapil launched his own production house, K9, under which he created Comedy Nights with Kapil. The show turned him into a household name. Though it went off air due to controversies, Kapil made a grand comeback on Sony TV with The Kapil Sharma Show.

Film Debut with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon

Kapil made his Bollywood debut with Abbas–Mustan’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015), which turned out to be a superhit. Audiences loved his performance, and his TV success continued simultaneously. In 2017, he appeared in Firangi, which he also produced. Kapil invested around ₹33 crore in the film, but it failed badly at the box office.

The failure deeply shook him, pushing him into a dark phase where he even had suicidal thoughts. With the support of his family and loved ones, Kapil gathered strength and stood up again.

A Journey Surrounded by Controversies

Kapil Sharma has often found himself in controversies. In 2017, during a flight back from Australia, he allegedly abused Sunil Grover and threw a slipper at him while intoxicated. Following this, Sunil left the show and never returned.

Kapil also once tagged PM Modi on social media questioning “Achhe Din,” which sparked political controversy. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri accused Kapil of refusing to invite The Kashmir Files team on his show, though Kapil clarified his stand. In 2020, a remark about Chitragupt in an episode led to religious backlash, forcing Kapil to issue a public apology.

A Brilliant Host

Apart from comedy, Kapil has hosted several prestigious events including the 60th Filmfare Awards, 22nd Star Screen Awards, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6, 61st and 62nd Filmfare Awards. He has acted in three Bollywood films—Bhavnao Ko Samjho, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, and Firangi.

Kapil–Ginni Love Story

Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath’s love story began in 2005 during college theatre days. Ginni liked Kapil, but he distanced himself due to financial struggles and career uncertainty. After Kapil’s success, his mother approached Ginni’s family with a marriage proposal, which was initially declined.

After winning Laughter Challenge, Kapil reconnected, and after many ups and downs, the couple got married in 2018. Today, they are happily married with two children.

Net Worth

According to MoneyMint, Kapil Sharma’s net worth is approximately ₹300 crore. His income sources include television, films, live shows, brand endorsements, social media partnerships, hosting, and his production house. His Mumbai bungalow is valued at around ₹15 crore, and he owns properties in several other cities as well. His vanity van alone costs ₹5.5 crore. Recently, Kapil also opened a café in Canada named Kap’s Café.
