Recently there were reports of Kapil Sharma planning to shoot the new episodes of his comedy show from home amid coronavirus lockdown. Considering many popular late-night talk show hosts like Jimmy Fallon in the west are adopting this idea to keep the content rolling, there were stories about how Sharma is willing to shoot new episodes from his home without a live audience. However, when a news portal got in touch with the comedian to give an update on The Kapil Sharma Show and if he's indeed planning to start shooting new episodes, the comedian reacted saying he's unaware of any such development. The Kapil Sharma Show to Return With New Episodes Amid Lockdown as the Host Will Shoot From Home.
