TOI: Kapil Sharma on 'Star ya rockstar'

He's tickled your funny bone and made you guffaw hysterically with various seasons of Comedy Circus. But did you know that stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma can hold a tune and give most playback singers a run for their money?

Packing in a surprise this weekend as he makes a wild card entry into Zee TV's singing reality show for celebs - Star Ya Rockstar, Kapil is said to have floored the audience with his very catchy entry sequence to the song 'Chhalla'. Not only were they roaring in delight to see him but also clicking their fingers and tapping their feet as he sang along.

It was almost like an instant realization for the rest of the contestants that that the competition has just become stiffer and that they'd have to try twice as hard to stay in the running for the coveted title of 'Rockstar'. What does this talented comedian feels about this new beginning? "It feels so good to be able to do something so different from what I have been recognized for. Of course, I will make people laugh even on Star Ya Rockstar but it's the very first time that people will hear me sing. My friends and well-wishers seem to enjoy my impromptu bouts of singing whenever we get-together. Let's hope the rest of the country enjoys it just as much!" said Kapil.
