Kapil Sharma says account was not hacked; files plaint against former manager, scribe

New Delhi, Delhi, India

It seems that it's getting too hard for Kapil Sharma, comedian-turned-actor, to sustain his popularity. The actor has taken the negative reviews of his new show 'Family Time with Kapil Sharma' to heart and rumours suggest that the show might go off air soon.

On Friday evening when Kapil Sharma went on Twitter and abused media for giving negative feedback on his new show, most of his fans were shocked. A few hours later, the actor stated that his account was hacked explaining the abusive tweets.

On Saturday, the actor-comedian dmitted that it was indeed him who had shared those posts and that his account was not hacked.  In a recent tweet, the actor admitted that whatever he wrote, he wrote from his heart. He went on to say that his team deleted the tweet but he was not scared of the reporter(whom his tweets were targetted at) who wrote anything for money.

"Maine jo b likha tha apne dil se likha tha.. it was my team who deleted my tweets .. But main is k***e bikaayu reporter se darne wala nahi hu.. he can write anything for anybody just for few bucks. Shameless," he tweeted.

Earlier on Friday, Sharma hurled choicest abuses at his critics, media and the system. In one of his tweets, he targeted Vickey Lalwani, editor of a Entertainment website called SpotboyE, accusing him of maligning him for money.

"Vicky Lalwani.. u r a mother ***** lier. who only spread negativity about me for a very little money. N I know who is giving u money..mehnat ki kha..t***** matt kha. *********...u know what... I can pay u more than ur worth..but I don`t want to pay u," Kapil tweeted.

Later, all the abusive tweets were deleted from his handle, and an apology was posted, where it was written that his account was hacked, which Kapil now states was false.

`The Kapil Sharma Show` host has also filed a complaint against his former managers Neeti Simoes and Preeti Simoes and SpotboyE Editor Vicky Lalwani, accusing them of trying to extort Rs 25 lakh from him. In his complaint, he alleged Lalwani and his former managers to defame him on digital media after he refused to pay him the amount.

"About six months ago, Kapil`s close associate Mr. Gurjot was approached by a person and told to part with Rs 25 lacs to contain the recently damaging content on Mr. Kapil by a specific media company `SpotboyE`. This person also explained that they have a lot of personal information about my client which will eventually bring Kapil Sharma down," read a statement from Kapil`s lawyer.

"My client states that the posts by SpotboyE kept increasing and began to affect his mental and emotional health.  Personal remarks were made about his career, fiancee, relationship, and friends by this gentleman styled as Vikyleaks," added the statement.

Meanwhile, Lalwani told media agencies that Sharma called him personally and verbally abused him."At around 6 pm my phone rang and I got a call from Kapil. With a minute of the call, he started abusing me and said to me that my daughter wants to sleep with him. This gave me a shock. This was the worst slang I have ever heard," Vicky Lalwani reported.

Lalwani also revealed the truth about Kapil Sharma making Rani Mukherjee wait for the shoot and cancelling it later.

"From around 4:30 we started noticing that Kapil Sharma was tweeting against SoptboyE and me. Talking all rubbish and irrelevant. Apparently, he was upset with our story on making Rani Mukherjee wait during the shoot and then cancelling it. We just reported the truth," Lalwani added.

If reports are to be believed, Kapil's show `Family Time With Kapil Sharma,' is expected to go off air soon, as it couldn't gather good reviews and hold on to the audience's attention.
