While speaking with Etimes he said:
“My kids used to get teased in school as I played female characters. I was skeptical about playing Daadi also as my kids were young at that time. They were in 4 or 5th standard. They used to get mocked as I played Basanti’s role, they would get ‘Arre iska baap basanti hai’, iski do do maa hai’. Once, on a Saturday, we were having dinner with the entire family, my show was playing on Television and there was an announcement that I will come as a bahu. My son just got up and asked me “Aap ko aur kuch aata nahi hai?”.”
A promo from the show, showed him breaking down while when his children appeared on the screen and shared how they were mocked by many but his daughter also said that it is not easy to make fun of yourself to make others smile.
Ali Asgar will not be the part of the Kapil Sharma show and he has also been eliminated from Jhalak Dikhlaja 10.
