Kapil also shared how the first time he had come to Mumbai with his friends, he would roam around Juhu Beach. The comedian revealed that they would look out for directors on the streets. However, he also expressed gratitude towards the dream city, which made him a star and a brand. He said that Mumbai gives scooterwalas like him an opportunity to present themselves on a big stage. In his words:

“I remember the first time I came to Mumbai with my friends. We would roam around Juhu Beach looking out for directors as if they had nothing better to do in life. From then to now - things have changed so much. That’s Mumbai, that’s what it does. It gives scooter walas like me an opportunity to stand on a stage and entertain people. Mujhe yaad hai mai bilkul naya tha Mumbai mein  and was unaware of what was coming my way, making my way through the bustling streets of Mumbai, only dreaming of being where I am now.”

Kapil Sharma has made a name for himself over the years in the entertainment industry. However, his wife, Ginni Chatrath had a big role in making him successful as she was very supportive to Kapil during his difficult times. She was with him in every phase and had stood beside him day and night, making sure that he was comfortable. In a conversation with The Man magazine, Kapil had shared that Ginni was her student as he used to visit colleges and participate in theatre for pocket money. He had said:

“Ginni was in a girls’ college in Jalandhar doing her graduation, 3-4 years my junior, and I was in a co-ed college studying for a PG diploma in commercial arts. For pocket money, I would participate in theatre and visit other colleges. She was a really good student of mine. Now, of course, she’s become my teacher after marriage! She was good at skits and histrionics, so I made her my assistant.”

For the unversed, Kapil Sharma's standup show, I'm Not Done Yet, will release on January 28, 2022, on Netflix.
