Back in March, one of the episodes that The Kapil Sharma Show aired, saw the comedian make fun of the Kayastha community's God- Lord Chitragupta And that was not taken to kindly by the community. While the trend '#SaySorryKapilSaharma' filled twitter, the community demanded an apology from Kapil and Sony. The Akhil Bharatiya Kayastha Mahasabha of Madhya Pradesh also threatened boycotting Kapil's show and also legal action against the concerned parties after the lockdown ended, if they had not got an apology. The Kapil Sharma Show To Re-Telecast Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor's Episodes to Honour Late Actors' Memories (View Tweets)
