Sidhu on Kapil’s battle with alcoholism

Navjot Singh Sidhu once appeared on The Grain Talk Show for a heartfelt conversation, where he reflected on his deep bond with comedian Kapil Sharma and the challenging phase Kapil faced a few years ago. During the interview, Sidhu opened up about Kapil’s battle with alcoholism and depression, expressing his unwavering faith in Kapil’s extraordinary talent. However, Sidhu strongly defended him, stating, “When Kapil was not well, he was jittery; he was going through a tough time, and people told me he was over. I said, ‘Guys, he’s a 20. If you can even find someone who is a 10 and make him stand in front of Kapil, I will listen. But right now, even a 5 doesn’t exist. You will have to replace him with something better. Otherwise, you will keep missing him.’”
