Comedian Kapil Sharma got trolled on social media for allegedly not inviting the team of Vivek Agnihotri’s latest film, The Kashmir Files, on The Kapil Sharma Show. Though the comedian explained that there was no truth to these claims, ‘Boycott Kapil Sharma’ trended on Twitter. Now, the lead actor of the film, Anupam Kher, has clarified that he was, in fact, invited to Kapil’s show, but he chose not to attend. However, he also added that it was two months ago that he got invited.

On Monday, Kapil shared a video in which Kher is telling a TV anchor he was invited to The Kapil Sharma Show, but he told his manager that he cannot attend because of the film’s serious subject matter, which would be inappropriate for a comedy show. Reacting to the video, Kapil wrote on Twitter, “Thank you paji ⁦⁦@AnupamPKher for clarifying all the false allegations against me ❤️” The actor-comedian sarcastically added, “Thanks to those who showered me with so much love without knowing the truth.”

However, the actor later replied to Kapil saying he wish the comedian would have shared the whole video and not the “half truth”. He tweeted, “Dear @KapilSharmaK9! I wish you had posted the full video and not the half truth. The entire world is celebrating, you also celebrate tonight. Love and prayers always!”
