She said, “When I was doing The Kapil Sharma Show, for about 2 to 2.5 years, our show occupied the number one spot on television. However, there came a point where I felt that there was nothing new that I could add to the show. I was getting paid very well but I couldn’t feel I was bringing anything new to the table. So, I spoke to Kapil regarding this. I also told him that when I started this show, everything was so much fun but I had stopped enjoying what I was doing. I quit the show, despite being paid so well, because there was no job satisfaction for me anymore.”

In the same breath, she also clarified that she continues to share a great rapport with comedian-host Kapil Sharma. She added, “We are very good friends even today and continue to stay in touch with each other. Even now, I tell him that I will only return to the show if there is something new I can bring to it. I tell this to each and every producer who approach me for a role,” she concluded.
