Himani storms off Antakshari set
By: Tushar Joshi
January 16, 2007

Sunil Pal and Himani Kapoor

She's a singer and he's a comedian, but all isn't well between the hosts of Zee's Antakshari — Himani Kapoor and Sunil Pal. Recently, a comment made by Pal during the shoot caused Himani to walk off the set.

A source close to the unit reveals, "Sunil cracks jokes all the time and loves taking digs at people, but it's all in good fun. He recently took a shot at Himani and compared her to Mallika Sherawat.

Since she's young and comes from a conservative background, she got very upset with his comment. Not only did she walk off the set, she also locked herself up in a vanity van for quite some time."

The source adds that once the camera starts rolling they are fine, but the moment the shoot is over, they go their separate ways. "It has a lot to do with the fact that this is Himani's first big show as a host and she often gets nervous. Sunil, on the other hand, is at ease with a live audience since he's also a stand-up comedian," says the source.

Jokes apart

When we speak to Himani about the incident, she affirms, "Yes, I got angry with Sunil's statement. He compared me to Mallika Sherawat and I didn't like it one bit. So I went off to my vanity van, as I was upset. Sunil then came and apologised and started telling me jokes to make me feel better. I resumed shooting after that. I don't have any problems with him. My only issue was with the Mallika joke he cracked on me."

Surely,There's a difference between Sonu,Shaan and Himani.
Both of them did shows when they were more or less firmly established in the industry.
Secondly,I didn't like Sunil Pal being asked to do the show.I'd rather have Himani doing it alone.In any case,This Antakshari without Gajji is pretty mediocre.
