Kapil Sharma: Feels incomplete to shoot my show without live audience

New Delhi, Aug 27 Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma feels comedy can help people forget about their problems for a while, and so he says there should more shows in the genre right now.

His comedy show, "The Kapil Sharma Show", has been regaling fans since 2016, and Kapil feels when it comes to comedies, it's more the merrier.

"We get so many messages and posts from people saying if they were stressed, watching the show helped them overcome certain situations or they just felt relieved and forgot about their problems for a while. I think comedy has that effect on people," Kapil told .

"After a long and tiresome day, all one wants is to forget about whatever that has happened, even though it's for a little while, and relax. So yes, more comedy shows should be on air," he added.

Like others, he was also at home during the lockdown, but he did learn one thing.

"The biggest lesson that I have learnt in life is that nothing is constant. Therefore, one shouldn't take anything for granted. There will always be good and bad times in life. But the bad times always teach something important and help us sail through," he shared.

He has resumed work now and he feels "absolutely great to come back on the set with all my co-actors and the crew".

"There is so much positive energy, I see broad smiles on people's faces, there is motivation to do so much more," said Kapil.

He also got a new look. "Since we were all starting afresh, I thought why not change my look as well. A clean-shaven look is a classic style. As an entertainer, just like I keep experimenting with the portrayal of different characters on the show, I like experimenting with my look as well," said Kapil, who has now let go of his beard.

Unlike fiction shows, his project involves the audience too. Now, there is no live audience. They have been replaced by cardboard cut-outs.

"For all these years that I have been working, the audience has played a huge role in my success. Whenever I perform, I get a reaction and that helps me build on it further. Since we can't host audience on set
