Rajiv Dhingra, the director of Kapil Sharma's home production Firangi claims that the comedian's ex-managers Preeti Simoes and Neeti Simoes are responsible for his plight.
A lot has been revealed about Kapil Sharma's personal life ever since the comedian posted a series of abusive tweets on Twitter and filed police complaint against his ex-girlfriend Preeti Simoes and a journalist.
Preeti on the other hand instead of getting upset over the issue started giving elaborate interviews about her relationship with Kapil, and accused his girlfriend Ginni Chatrath of not being able to handle him in this "one year since they broke up". Preeti in one of the interviews said that Kapil was getting suicidal thoughts and needed help.
"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," Preeti said in an interview with Hindustan Times.
Kapil's close friend Rajiv has a completely different version from Preeti. He says, it is Preeti who has driven Kapil into depression.
"Kapil and I come from a small town of Punjab, we are not manipulative like these girls. Preeti is responsible for driving Kapil into depression, she harassed me as well and tried to instigate him against me. As soon as she learnt that he was marrying his girlfriend Ginni (Chatrath), she vowed to destroy him and turn his friends against him. All the controversies in Kapil's life happened only in the last one year after Preeti vowed to destroy him."
Rajiv also claims that Preeti threatened to destroy Kapil and his career.
"We friends have been trying to help Kapil stay positive. Not only is he unwell, even his mother isn't keeping well and we are afraid he will harm himself. Preeti forced herself into the show and into his life. He is an emotional man, she is misusing his weakness. She threatened me saying Kapil and I are not from Mumbai and she will get us thrown out of the industry. Now, Kapil feels he has lost everything he earned over the years," he said.
