We had earlier reported about a new controversy which had sparked up between ‘Comedy Nights Live’ and ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, with Mika’s appearance as a guest on Kapil’s new show. Now, Mika is out of the Colors’ show and a legal notice is sent to the producers of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ asking them not to telecast Mika’s portions in the show.
Here is what Mika has to say:
“I am not hurt or disappointed with their decision. No artiste is bigger than the channel and my absence will not cost them much. I know that the channel is upset and I hope things get resolved soon. But I can only say that it wasn’t intentional.”
Mika also says that just like other guests on Kapil’s show, he too went there for promotion of ‘Housefull 3’ songs. He also adds:
“Yes, I could have informed the channel, but it needs to be taken into account that I didn’t go to Kapil’s show in place of Sidhuji (Navjot Singh Sidhu) or become a permanent fixture, as I understand that my responsibilities are quite similar to Sidhuji’s on my show. I appeared on Kapil’s show as a celebrity to promote my songs. Every show has a loyal audience and one person can’t affect that. I agree that it could lead to a divided viewership, but people come back to watch their favourite shows. I love both Krushna and Kapil equally and no one is better than the other. They are equally talented. While one infuses dancing in comedy, the other sings to enhance his comedy. I immediately agreed when the channel contacted me to become a part of Krushna’s show because of my equation with them. I was signed on for 26 episodes and I have shot around 15 episodes so far.”
When someone asked him if he is caught in this ugly war between Kapil and Colors, Mika replied:
“I wouldn’t want to comment on their equation. Kapil is like a younger brother and I keep telling him and Krushna that we will party together some day,”
