Kapil Sharma hits back strongly at allegations of him disrespecting Atlee; Read tweet

Kapil Sharma recently faced accusations of disrespecting Atlee on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. Atlee Kumar showed up on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' to promote his new project Baby John along with the rest of the cast. His presence on a recent episode stirred up a debate when some online users slammed Kapil Sharma's query about Atlee's looks. Now, in response, the comedian has strongly reacted to the criticism, encouraging viewers to watch the episode and form their own opinions.

A netizen on X dropped the clip of Atlee chatting with Kapil Sharma on the show. Kapil Sharma reacted to a social media user’s post, which read, “Kapil Sharma subtly insults Atlee’s looks? Atlee responds like a boss: Don’t judge by appearance, judge by the heart. #Atlee #KapilSharma."

Kapil wrote,"Dear sir, can you pls explain me where n when I talked about looks in this video ? pls don’t spread hate on social media 🙏 thank you. (guys watch n decide by yourself, don’t follow any body’s tweet like a sheep)."

In the conversation, Kapil asks the filmmaker, “Atlee sir, actually you are so young. Aur aap itne bade producer, director ban gaye hain. Kabhi aapke saath aisa hua hai ki aap kisi star se milne gaye first time aur usko laga hi naa ho aap Atlee ho. Usne kaha ‘where is Atlee?’ (You have become such a huge producer, director. Has it ever happened that you went to meet a star for the first time, and they didn’t recognize you?)"

In response, Atlee said, “In a way, I understood your question. I’ll try to answer. I’m actually very thankful to AR Murugadoss sir. Because he produced my first film. He asked a script, but he didn’t see how I’m looking, and whether I’m capable of it or not. But he loved my narration. I think the world should see that. By appearance we should not judge, by heart you have to judge."
