Salman Khan's team denies ties with The Kapil Sharma Show as the show lands in legal trouble over remarks on Rabindranath Tagore

The Great Indian Kapil Show

Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma's The Great Indian Kapil Show recently received a legal notice for allegedly hurting the religious and cultural sentiments of the Bengali community and for disrespecting Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

The notice, issued by Dr. Mondal of the Bongo Bhashi Mahasabha Foundation through legal advisor Nripendra Krishna Roy, highlighted concerns over certain acts on the show, calling them offensive to Bengalis globally and disrespectful to the revered poet.

According to the Free Press Journal, in response to the notice, the creators of The Great Indian Kapil Show clarified that the program is a comedy show designed purely for entertainment purposes. They asserted that the show employs parodies and fictional sketches and does not intend to maliciously target any individual or community.

Meanwhile, amid rumours suggesting Salman Khan’s production house received a legal notice regarding The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, the company has issued a statement denying any connection. The representative clarified that neither Salman Khan nor SKTV has any involvement with the show and dismissed reports claiming they were served a notice. "We have no association with The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. Certain sections of the media are reporting that Salman Khan / SKTV have also received the notice, which is incorrect as we are not associated with The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix," the official statement read.

Salman Khan’s team has issued a statement clarifying that the production house is no longer involved with the operations of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. The team also confirmed that the legal notice surrounding the show has no bearing on them, as SKTV has distanced itself from any association with the program.
