Indian comedian and actor Kapil Sharma is making global headlines this week following a gun attack at his café in Canada and renewed interest in his Netflix show.
On July 9, unknown assailants opened fire on Kap’s Café, a restaurant linked to Sharma in Surrey, British Columbia. No injuries were reported, but the incident raised serious concerns. Canadian police have linked the attack to Harjeet Singh Laddi, a suspect with ties to the banned Babbar Khalsa International group.
This security threat has shocked fans and stirred wide public and media response in India, Canada, and among the global Indian diaspora. The café staff later issued a statement saying they are still in shock but plan to continue their operations.
Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma news is also trending due to the success of The Great Indian Kapil Show, now streaming on Netflix. The latest season has attracted notable guests like Jackson Wang, Ajay Devgn, and other celebrities. The show’s light-hearted format and Sharma’s signature humor have resonated with viewers across multiple countries.
The renewed attention has also led fans to revisit Kapil Sharma’s net worth and career milestones. According to recent reports, his estimated net worth is over ₹280 crore (approx. $34 million). While it is unclear how much Netflix paid Kapil Sharma, industry sources suggest the deal is among the most lucrative for an Indian comedian on the platform.
Sharma remains one of the most recognized faces in Indian entertainment. Over the years, he has built a strong reputation through his stand-up comedy, films, and a series of hit Kapil Sharma movies and TV shows.
Despite recent challenges, Sharma has not made a public statement yet. However, his team has asked for privacy and support during this time.
