“I am telling you, make fun of this word (intolerance),” Kapil said.

“People should not take everything so seriously. There needs to be a scope for humour — healthy humour,” the comedian-actor added.

Asked what he defined healthy humour as, the “Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon” actor said: “A kind of humour that doesn’t compel your parents to flip channels while looking at it with you.”

The comedian returns to small screen with his much-awaited “The Kapil Sharma Show”, with superstar Shah Rukh Khan as his first guest.
