Kapil Sharma's comedy show will reportedly go off air on January 17.

Comedy Nights With Kapil, the show that was frequently graced by Bollywood's biggest stars, will reportedly go off air on January 17.

Expressing disappointment over its end, celebrities -- including superstar Shah Rukh Khan -- present at the calendar launch of photographer Dabboo Ratnani in Mumbai have said they want to see more of him.

"He's a very talented man, one of the best stand-up comics we have. Apart from that, the film that he has done Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, he's done very good work in it. Hope he does something else soon so that we all can be entertained," said Shah Rukh.

Will 2016 see an end to 'Comedy Nights with Kapil'?

Many actors have come on the show multiple times for promotion of their films.

Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor, however, were unaware that the show was going off air.


Alia said, "Rubbish! Really? I think the promotions might become a bit dull without Comedy Nights With Kapil, without Kapil being in our lives.

"During promotions, we always look forward to going on his show, and having a good laugh. But he'll do movies now, his film is doing well."

Reportedly, Kapil was miffed with the channel for giving another show of a similar name more prominence and hence decided to take it off air. But there are reports that Kapil is planning to come back with the show on another channel.

That's what Sidharth Malhotra feels too. "I've heard that he'll come back again. So it's a short break. It's an amazing show; he entertains people. Comedy is very difficult and I think he's the best comedian we have. Looking forward to his comeback," he said.



Apart from Kapil, other actors such as Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, Ali Asgar and Sumona Chakravarti have become household names because of the show.
