Upasana Singh Opens Up About Leaving Kapil Sharma’s Show: Contractual Obligations and Beyond

Upasana Singh Reveals the Real Reason Behind Leaving Kapil Sharma’s Show: Contractual Obligations, Creative Challenges, and Lasting Friendship

The Early Success of Kapil Sharma’s Show
In 2013, Kapil Sharma’s comedy show went sensational on Colors. Upasana Singh, who played the lovable character Bua, quickly won over the hearts of the audience. When the show was shifted from Colors to Sony, Upasana was conspicuous by her absence. Recently, she has given the reason behind her exit and it was strictly due to some contractual issues.

Contractual Boundaries with Colors
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Upasana has explained that just as the show had run two years successfully, Upasana realized that her role had been quite exhausted. According to her though, she has never been the reason for departure from the show. She confirmed that she does not have complaints with Kapil, and was on good terms.

It was when Kapil had differences with Colors and moved his show to Sony. While most of his team followed him, Upasana couldn’t join them as she was bound by her contractual commitment with Colors. “My contract was with Colors, not with Kapil’s team. When Kapil moved to Sony, I was bound by my agreement with Colors,” she clarified.

A Difficult Transition with Krushna’s Show
Colors replaced Kapil’s show with a new comedy venture that was featuring Krushna Abhishek, and Upasana had to be there till the contract went off. She recalls this time as not exactly a pleasant experience because Kapil and Krushna’s teams have always fought like cat and mouse.

“The environment wasn’t as enjoyable. Both teams weren’t on good terms, and I didn’t feel the same connection or creative satisfaction,” she shared. Despite the challenges, she honored her contractual obligations with professionalism.

Insights on Kapil’s Rise and Challenges
Addressing the much-discussed fallout between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover during their Australia tour, Upasana said she wasn’t part of the team at the time. She, however, sensed brewing tensions and noted changes in the set’s atmosphere.
“When someone achieves great success, not all well-wishers are genuinely supportive,” she remarked, hinting at the pressures Kapil had to face at the time of his rising glory.

A Fond Relationship with Kapil
Upasana talked about how she had been in contact with Kapil for such a long time and they were still good friends. “We still share a great relationship. If I call him, he will always answer,” she said.

Income and Future Projects
Upasana also revealed that she was paid ₹75,000 per episode when the show started, which was a good amount at that time, with promises of increment raises based on the show’s success. When asked if she would work with Kapil again, she enthusiastically said that she would gladly collaborate with him in the future.

Upasana’s candid revelations highlight her professionalism, resilience, and positive outlook, even in challenging circumstances. Her story underscores the complexities of navigating career decisions in the entertainment industry while maintaining meaningful relationships.
