Comedian Kapil Sharma is facing backlash after comparing the Indian women's cricket team coach Amol Muzumdar to Shah Rukh Khan's iconic character in Chak De India. The incident occurred on Kapil's Netflix show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, where he praised Amol for the team's World Cup win and jokingly compared him to Shah Rukh Khan, saying he was handsome too. However, a user took offense, citing how Shah Rukh's character was inspired by a real-life hockey player and not a fictional one. Kapil defended himself, claiming his intention was humorous and not meant to disrespect. An advocate also came to his defense, pointing out that Kapil only made a reference to the film. The Great Indian Kapil Show has recently featured celebrities like Priyanka Chopra and the Indian women's cricket team, who won the World Cup, as guests.
