MUMBAI: Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma has agreed that he wrote offensive and abusive posts on his Twitter page.
“Maine jo b likha tha apne dil se likha tha (whatever I wrote was written from my heart), it was my team who deleted my tweets. But main is reporter se darne wala nahi hu (But I will not be scared of this reporter). He can write anything for anybody just for few bucks. Shameless”.

A slew of offensive and abusive posts from his Twitter page left Kapil’s surprised. A few posts addressed fake news where he stated, “Agar main prime minister hota to fake news banane walo ko faansi laga deta (If I was the Prime Minister, I would have hanged those who spread fake news).”
Some of the tweets had abusive language whilst targeting a journalist “who only spreads negativity about me for very little money”.

Besides writing offensive tweets, Kapil has also lodged a complaint against the journalist, where the subject read, “Threat to extort and harassment” by a news agency on the “instance of ex-managers” to cause “mental and emotional suffering.”
The complaint claimed that all such malicious instances have publicity affected him emotionally due to which he had to seek professional counselling and is under medication.
Kapil is also very disturbed by the line of comments naming him a “failed actor, a celebrity out of control and the wrong choice of a life partner”.
Meanwhile, Kapil ex, Preeti, who was also the creative producer of his previous shows Comedy Nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show, in an interview with Hindustan Times had earlier said: “I am hoping it’s not Kapil who has posted these tweets. The Kapil I know is a very intelligent, bright, young and dynamic man. It’s most certainly his girlfriend Ginni Chatrath or maybe some friend, who is using his phone and doing all this. And if this is what Ginni and her one year with Kapil has brought him to, I feel sorry for both of them — Kapil for the choices he has made, and Ginni, because she didn’t know how to handle a Kapil Sharma.”
She added that she was worried for Kapil’s mental health. “But, if it is [indeed] him, my biggest concern is his mental health, which has deteriorated drastically in the past few months. I’ve spoken to him many times, he has messaged me and visited me and I’ve realised that he’s not the same man that he was a year ago.”
“It’s not just depression.. it could be bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. He’s getting suicidal thoughts. I’ve seen a very different him. His face has changed, his eyes have changed. He switches topics when he is talking. He repeats the same things 10 times when he speaks to me. Whoever is doing this to him, I really want to say, ‘give up, move out, and take him to a rehab and give the poor man a chance to live’. I am scared because tomorrow if in this state of depression, he does something, they’ll lose such a beautiful person.”
She further said that in their eight-year long relationship, Kapil never abused.
Kapil has accused Preeti of “instigating negative stories” against him.
