In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Sumona Chakravarti revealed she’s not friends with Kapil Sharma “outside of work”. The two worked together for 10 years on comedy shows but she is not a part of Kapil’s Netflix show.
Sumona Chakravarti is best recognised for her role as Kapil Sharma’s wife on The Kapil Sharma Show, which ran till July 2023. A year later, Kapil returned to Netflix India with The Great Indian Kapil Show, which also featured former cast member Sunil Grover. However, Sumona was conspicuously omitted from the revised edition.
She further spoke about not being part of The Great Indian Kapil Show and said, “There was no breakup. We had a wonderful run of 10 years across different networks. Most marriages don’t last 10 years, actually (laughs), but our on-screen one did. Every year, we would take a break around June or July. We finished our season. I really don’t know what happened next. The last time we were on Sony, that ended in 2023. Then he went on his US tour, and the next thing I heard was that he was coming to Netflix. So honestly, there has been no conversation about it between him and me. It’s not like we picked up the phone and discussed it.”
