Kapil Sharma currently hosts the most successful comedy show on Indian television. It is the third season of The Kapil Sharma Show and the buzz is still sky-high. But did you know the comedian was initially rejected because of his weight? It was when he was trying his luck as a host on Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa. Read on for all the details.

As most know, the journey in showbiz hasn’t been easy for Kapil either. He witnessed a lot of roadblocks. His show earlier aired on Colors but some issues led the team to move to Sony. Just not that, his depression phase was a huge struggle. On top of it all, the rift with Sunil Grover caused a huge impact on the show.

Kapil Sharma recently graced Fever FM’s Bounce Back Bharat Festival where he revealed he was offered Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa as a host. He shared, “This wasn’t a show actually. I went to the Colors office, they had called me over, asking if I could host a show. I asked them which one? They said Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa. I asked them what will I be required to do? They said you and Maniesh Paul will host it.”
