Kapil Sharma Faces Backlash Over Atlee Joke on Comedy Show

Kapil Sharma has been under intense scrutiny over the past few days due to a comment he made about filmmaker Atlee's appearance on his comedy show, "The Great Indian Kapil Show." The comedian has requested viewers to watch the entire episode before jumping to conclusions, emphasizing that his words were taken out of context.

In a particular segment, Kapil asked Atlee, "When you get to meet a star for the first time, do they ask, 'Where is Atlee?'" This remark was perceived by some as a joke about Atlee's appearance, sparking widespread criticism on social media.

Atlee's response aimed to clarify the context of the question. He said, "In a way I understood your question. I'll try to answer. I'm actually very thankful to AR Murugadoss sir because he produced my first film. He asked for a script, but he didn't see how I was looking or whether I'm capable of it or not. But, he loved my narration. I think the world should see that. We should not judge by appearance. You have to judge by your heart."

Kapil Sharma hopes that viewers will understand the broader context of their exchange and not judge based solely on a snippet of the conversation. This incident underscores the importance of viewing content in its entirety to avoid misinterpretation and unnecessary backlash.
