Actor and comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrat launched Kap’s Cafe in Surrey, Canada, earlier this month. However, just a week after its inauguration, the cafe was targeted in a gunfire attack, leading to a temporary shutdown. On Sunday, Kapil announced via social media that the cafe would reopen today.

Resharing a post from the cafe’s team on his Instagram stories, Kapil wrote, “Proud of you team.” Sharing the post, the Kap’s Cafe team wrote, “Opening Tomorrow!
