Shailesh Lodha on The Kapil Sharma Show

Shailesh Lodha appeared in The Kapil Sharma Show last year. In the interview, he was asked about his appearance on the show and the trolling that he faced soon after. Talking about his appearance on the show, he shared, "Kapil and I’ve worked together and in 2012 we have done shows in Singapore together. Comedy Nights with Shailesh and Kapil during that time. What I was trying to say at that time was that things like Bua, Daadi flirting with guests is not right according to our culture and I still stand by it. I disagree with that kind of comedy, main sahej nahi hoon. But that doesn’t mean I will never go on his show and not tell the world what I’m doing? I went to his show and showed the strength of Hindi poetry. When I recited my poetry 'Maa' every person there on the show stood with tears in their eyes. I went there and went with the strength of poetry. Kapil as an artist no doubt he’s great and is a friend."

Further, on being asked about some common funny incidents that are seen in the showbiz world today, like men cross-dressing to entertain the audience or concepts like hitting on others' wives. To this, he shared, "Sadly we have to accept one thing in this country that we are becoming mediocre. If you are trying to become intelligent nobody would like to see or hear you. The country is enjoying reels and dancing on Patli kamariya, 90 percent of the crowd is doing this today. And if you try to be intelligent nobody will hear you."
