Kapil Sharma's trainer reveals his body had become stiff and inflamed: ‘He would eat at odd times, had no discipline'
Yogesh, who was first introduced to Kapil through actor Sonu Sood during the promotions of Happy New Year, recalled his first meeting with the comedian. The fitness coach said, 'His manager called me, so I went to meet Kapil. He said, 'Let's start from tomorrow. Whatever equipment you need, we'll have it here, I can't go out.' He had a small bungalow, and I had to train him there. I asked for some rods and basic gear, but initially, it was just a mat and a band. He already had a treadmill, so we started there.'
He added, 'The story of Day 1 is actually pretty funny. I asked him to do stretches, and because he hadn't moved his body in a long time, even simple movements like arm rotations, body twists, and toe touches caused him discomfort. His expressions were so exaggerated and comic, just like his on-screen performances, that I couldn't help but laugh. I told him why I was laughing, and he said, 'No problem, let's wrap it up here for today.' I thought maybe he was trying to skip out, but that wasn't the case. From the very next day, he was back on schedule, and we began with basic movements. That's when I realized how stiff his body had become, there was no food discipline, and a lot of inflammation in his body.'
Yogesh Bhateja also touched upon the challenges of training someone from the entertainment industry, particularly someone as busy as Kapil Sharma. 'See, there's a difference between the film and TV industries. If you're shooting an episode, you're working until it's done, it's not like a standard 8-hour job. It can go on for 10, 12, even 14 hours. And since Kapil was the main guy, the responsibility on him was even greater. He was sleep-deprived, his diet had no set pattern, he would eat at odd times. There was no discipline. It took me a long time, along with his manager and team, to bring some alignment into his lifestyle. But by God's grace, when his film came out, everyone saw the difference on screen,' he said.

When it came to Kapil's diet, Yogesh made careful adjustments to suit his preferences and goals. 'He used to eat non-veg, so I focused more on including fish in his meals, it's the best form of protein and helps keep calories in check. I made sure he had enough vegetables too. I even coordinated with his chef to ensure the diet was followed consistently.'

The Great Indian Kapil Show out from Netflix Global Top 10: Why has the comedy show dropped out?
Kapil Sharma's transition from television to streaming started with much fanfare in 2024, as The Great Indian Kapil Show debuted on Netflix. After dominating weekend television on Colors and Sony for years, the move was expected to broaden his audience base and tap into digital viewership. Initially, the gamble seemed to pay off. The premiere episode of Season 3, featuring Salman Khan, pulled in 1.6 million views and clocked 1.9 million hours watched, according to Netflix. However, as the season progressed, a clear dip in numbers began to emerge. Netflix says that it calculates views by dividing total watch time by episode runtime, which does not directly represent individual viewer count. The second episode, starring the cast of Metro In Dino, reportedly garnered 2 million views, but this figure reflected combined views for the first two episodes during the show's second week—Netflix did not break down the episode-specific data.

While the first three episodes made it to the global chart, episodes four and five did not feature in the rankings. For context, the last show on the current Global Top 10 list had 1.4 million views in two weeks—a number Kapil Sharma's show appears to have fallen short of in its latest outings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologist: The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!)

The subsequent episodes, which featured the team of Son of Sardaar 2 and actors like Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, also failed to bring the show back into the rankings. Repeating a Pattern from Previous Seasons This isn't the first time The Great Indian Kapil Show has seen a strong start followed by dwindling numbers. A similar pattern played out in Season 2. After featuring stars like Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Jr NTR in early episodes, the viewership began to slip, satetd reports. As per News18 , the fourth episode, with Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor as guests, marked a significant dip. By the fourth week, cumulative views for the first four episodes had fallen to 900,000, despite a total watch time of 4.2 million hours. Season 1 followed a comparable trajectory. The fourth episode featuring Vicky Kaushal and Sunny Kaushal resulted in a cumulative viewership of 1.2 million views across four episodes and 3.9 million hours watched, after which the show was pushed out of the global charts. Despite the drop in global rankings, The Great Indian Kapil Show continues to be among Netflix India's most watched and talked-about titles. The upcoming episode is set to feature digital content creators Raj Shamani, Saurabh Dwivedi, Kamiya Jani, and Samdish Bhatia.
