Kapil Sharma Threatened by Sikh Separatist Group Founder
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun's threat to Kapil Sharma has sparked a debate about the spread of separatist ideologies and the safety of Indian celebrities abroad. With Kapil Sharma's rising fame and fortune, he has become a target for those who oppose his perceived promotion of Hindutva ideology. The incident has highlighted the need for increased security measures for Indian celebrities and the importance of addressing separatist ideologies that threaten the safety and well-being of individuals.
Comedian Kapil Sharma has been threatened by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, founder of the Sikh separatist group Sikhs for Justice, who accused him of promoting Hindutva ideology through his restaurant Kap's Cafe in Canada. Pannun demanded that Sharma leave Canada and take his "blood money back to Hindustan."
The threat comes after Kap's Cafe was attacked by unknown assailants, with responsibility claimed by individuals linked to the banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International. Pannun questioned whether the restaurant was part of a larger strategy to export Hindutva, and warned that Canada would not tolerate such ideology on its soil. The incident has led to a significant boost in security at Kapil Sharma's Mumbai residence.
Kapil Sharma has risen to fame from humble beginnings, transforming from earning Rs 500 a month to becoming one of India's richest stars, with a net worth of Rs 300 crore. He has created and hosted several successful shows, including Comedy Nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show, and has also had a flourishing acting career in Bollywood. Currently, he earns Rs 5 crore per episode from The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show, with a total of Rs 200 crore from the single OTT show.
The threat to Kapil Sharma has raised concerns about the safety of Indian celebrities abroad and the impact of separatist ideologies on the Indian diaspora. The incident is being closely monitored by the authorities, and it remains to be seen how Kapil Sharma will respond to the threat and whether he will resume shooting for his upcoming Netflix show, 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'.
