Mumbai: Fans eagerly anticipated the premiere of Kapil Sharma’s revamped comedy show, “The Great Indian Kapil Show,” after Netflix announced its 2024 slate. The excitement heightened with news of Kapil Sharma reuniting with Sunil Grover and the first episode featuring the Kapoor family.

However, viewers noticed the absence of Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. Why? Keep reading to know the reason behind why Alia said NO to appear on the show.

Reason Behind Alia’s Absence

According to a report in Times Now, Alia was approached for the show but couldn’t make it due to financial reasons.

Netflix reportedly couldn’t meet Alia Bhatt’s fee demands, leading to her exclusion from the episode. Insiders suggest that the streamer allocates a specific budget for each episode, and exceeding it wasn’t feasible. Thus, when the makers couldn’t accommodate Bhatt’s fees, she declined to appear on the show.
