The Kapil Sharma Show: Body-shaming co-performers to Archana Puran Singh being their constant target; reasons why Kapil's show seems to be losing its charm

The Kapil Sharma Show hosted by comedian Kapil returned with its fresh season after his paternity leave. However, with repetitive jokes, similar storyline and remarks, the show has nothing new to offer to the audience. While the episodes have a starry guest list, the conversations they have is something that one wouldn't regret if missed. Here are a few points that are overtly done and dusted:

The audience has often seen host Kapil Sharma passing remarks at Archana Puran Singh's physique by calling her 'masculine'. Comparing her with anything giant and taunting her for minting money by sharing BTS videos from the show and just sitting on the couch. Along with Kapil, other co-performers Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda keep popping up former special guest and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu's name and say that at least he would mouth poetries unlike her. Although the veteran actress takes everything in jest, these jokes don't seem harmless anymore.

Krushna Abhishek had a public fallout with his uncle and Bollywood actor Govinda and the latter's family refuses to bury the hatchet. On the show, Krushna is often seen bringing up his maternal uncle's name while Kiku Sharda and Kapil tell him that he's got no identity of his own and is surviving only on his superstar uncle's name. Their fights have become a part of their fun gag on the stage.

Chandan Prabhakar plays the role of Chandu 'chaiwala' on the show, and is a childhood friend of Kapil Sharma. Akshay Kumar, who is a regular guest on the show to promote his films, jokes about Chandan's inability to find work on the basis of his talent and is on the show only because he is Kapil's friend. Krushna and Kiku also follow suit.

Kiku Sharda's potbelly has often been a part of several jokes and Sumona Chakravorty's lips, height, and her physical appearance overall has also been targetted. Nevertheless, the artists' are paid for cracking and making these distasteful jokes. Earlier, Mukesh Khanna had called out the show for belittling women by their jokes and called it "vulgar".

Kapil Sharma melting down upon hearing Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone's name, his infamous tweet to the Indian PM Narendra Modi, playfully teasing Archana Puran Singh about Navjot Singh Sidhu's return and asking her to take care of her chair, the jokes are falling flat.

Kapil Sharma flirts with each and every female guest on the show and it's kind of got boring now. With no newness and fresh flavour, the show is on the verge of losing its charm.
