"The Kapil Sharma Show aired on Sony TV is very sloppy. They also make lewd comments on women. In one of the episodes, a court was set up on the stage and the actors were seen drinking alcohol in public. This is contempt of court. That's why I have demanded registration of FIR against the culprits under Section 356/3 in the court. Such display of sloppiness should be stopped," the lawyer was quoted as saying by India Today.
The episode had aired on Jan 19, 2020 reportedly. The repeat telecast was aired on April 24, 2021. As per the lawyer, this act brings disgrace to the court.
