From last few days, comedian turned actor Kapil Sharma has been facing a lot issues and controversies because of his abusive rant on Twitter. He called a journalist and started abusing him for doing negative stories about him. Soon after this fiasco, Kapil lodged a complaint against the journalist and his previous managers, Preeti Simoes and Neeti Simoes.
The Firangi actor has also shared a copy of the complaint on Twitter and wrote, “Some people just want to defame you for few bucks but it will take ages to make a stand against the wrong.. I shall do it today n forever.”
Now according to Zee News, Kapil has put some serious allegations on the Simoes sisters. He has also called them fraud and maligned his image. In a leaked copy of the statement which is in Marathi, Kapil has revealed about everything and how the Simoes sisters came on-board for Comedy Nights With Kapil.

The statement read, “Right from the shooting schedules to guest coordination–everything was managed by Preeti. And for that, I paid her Rs 2 lakh a month. Soon, I hired her sister Neeti as well and as the show became popular and the channel benefitted from it, I raised their salaries. In 2013, a girl named Anushree was hired as a talent manager for my show but after Simoes sisters insisted I fired her in 2016. Preeti and Neeti told me that Anushree charges money from people for coming on the show but once I met her at some programme and she instead revealed that Simoes sisters were actually doing it. She told me that they charge money from the people who want to sit in the audience and the rates vary depending on which row. People who sit in the front row are charged more.”
He further added, “Preeti and Neeti were responsible for handling the celebrity guests and letting me know every detail beforehand but due to their lack of coordination and not informing me on time, several celebs were left miffed with me. They also tried to create misunderstanding about me and my other fellow actors.”
Blaming Preeti and Neeti for defaming him, he said, “Due to Preeti and Neeti’s miscommunication, I suffered a lot as many celebs were upset with me and this hampered my public image. And surprisingly, all of this was told to me by Anushree. I realised that people I trusted the most were trying to pull me down and tarnish my image and my teammates were scared to tell me fearing a job loss.”
“In 2016, I warned them to improve their work. However, soon after that, we had an argument and the Simoes sisters quit the job. But they came back to me after three days saying let bygones be bygones and we must work together. Again I found out that they are trying to hamper my work and after a heated exchange, they left the show in March 2017.”
