#HappyBdayKapilSharma: The ROLLER COASTER Journey of 'Funnyman' Kapil Sharma!

If there has to be one sentence to describe the man that Kapil Sharma is, then it has to be 'He Came, He Saw, He Conquered.' However, courtesy the on-going hullabaloo, there are several tweaks and changes one would like to make to it.

But, was Kapil Sharma always this big? Of course not. Probably one of the best examples of a 'rags to riches' story, Kapil's rise to the top spot has been a rather inspiring story. He may be infamous for his atrocious behaviour, but his journey speaks otherwise.

The First Glance on Centre Stage

India's comedy scene took center stage over twelve years ago as 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge' became a sensation. However, not everyone tasted success as Kapil did. His appearance on the show had an instant impact. Sunil Pal, Navin Prabhakar, Raju Shrivastava and Ahsaan Qureshi may have been the popular ones back then, but Kapil's destiny had other plans.

Amalgamating Hosting and Comedy

People love how anchors of several reality shows and award shows amalgamate their hosting skills along with some comic timing. However, did you know that it was Kapil Sharma who was in fact, amongst the first ones to popularize this trend, when he hosted 'Chhote Miyan' with Juhi Parmar Shroff.

When we were introduced to the Love of his Life

After Kapil became THE Kapil Sharma, several people wondered as to whether the actor-comedian was dating anyone or not. Many names popped up, but only a few remember how Kapil actually participated in a reality show called 'Hans Baliye' with his 'Baliye' Ginni Chatrath. The funnyman recently re-introduced Ginni to the world, terming her to be the love of his life, but this was where it had all begun.

The Turning Point

Then came the turning point of his life when Kapil participated in 'Comedy Circus.' The show was already a huge success, where Krushna Abhishek and Sudesh Lahiri were invincible. However, things completely changed as Kapil's entry created ripples and he went on to win multiple seasons of the show.

The Big Step

It was due to the mass appeal that 'Comedy Circus' gave him, Kapil took a bold decision of quitting the show and starting his own comedy chat show. Many considered him to be stupid for taking such a huge risk, but Kapil had his eyes set on the big picture and with his own production house, produced 'Comedy Nights With Kapil.' And the rest is history!

Becoming an Icon

The current controversy pertaining Kapil, isn't the first time that the comedian has been in that kind of spotlight. Time and again Kapil has been the talking point of controversial issues, be it his departure from Colors channel or the Krushna Abhishek-Kapil Sharma battle. However, the funnyman always managed to sustain the support of the masses, by remaining quiet and not reacting to Krushna's jibes. His popularity and iconic status got him to appear on shows like 'The Anupam Kher Show' and more recently in 'Koffee With Karan Season 5', shows which only witnessed A list actors otherwise.

Achieving Heights of Success

His departure from Colors saw him joining Sony TV and launching 'The Kapil Sharma Show.' (Again the same question, why name it The Kapil Sharma Show and not something team oriented, for which he was actually known for). Kapil had now become a brand, an icon and the man-to-beat (for rivals, of course).

The Fall

One moment, one instance and one occurrence, that's all it takes to tarnish everything one has achieved. We are in fact talking about the same Kapil Sharma, who was loved and supported when Sunil Grover had 'voluntarily' left Comedy Nights With Kapil' and then came back. Today, the tables have turned and the support and love is enjoyed by Sunil Grover.

Kapil is literally facing the toughest time of his life and he certainly needs to find a solid solution to become THE Kapil Sharma once again.

Time is Ticking

India's most loved actor-comedian, Kapil Sharma celebrates his birthday today, where he completes 36 years of age. The man is facing a crisis caused by himself, where his arrogance and vanity came out in the public eye, affecting his 'good man' image.

And on his big day, we wish to see Kapil Sharma go back to being one of the country's most loved comedians, rather than being embroiled in all kinds of controversies.
