              NEETU KAPOOR

              Actress praises comedian Kapil Sharma

                      ctress Neetu Kapoor praised his ‘Daadi Ki Shaadi’ co-star Kapil Sharma de-
                      scribing the comedian as an “amazing person” who she claims has done a “bril-
              Aliant job” in the film.
                  Daadi Ki Shaadi was released in theatres on May 8. Kapil Sharma played the role of
              Tony in the movie with Neetu Singh donning the lead role in the film.
                  In an interview to ANI, Neetu Kapoor lauded the “cheerful” nature of the Kapil
              Sharma on the sets of the film. She also praised the performance of the actor in the movie.
                  Neetu Kapoor said, “Kapil is an amazing human and he is so cheerful, it’s a lot of fun
              to be with him. And he has done a very good job in this movie. He was not Kapil Sharma.
              He was playing the character Tony. He was total Tony. For a moment, you won’t feel like
              he is Kapil Sharma, the stand-up comedian or his show or whatever he does. He is Tony, he is total
              Tony. And he has done some scenes so brilliantly that I told him, I said you have done so different.”

                                                                   www.TheIndianEYE.com
