People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India recently praised Kapil Sharma, a prominent actor and comedian, for assisting them in saving a sick rescued elephant. The comedian responded by taking to social media to share his joy at finding that the elephant was well. PETA India also provided more details on the rescued elephant’s condition.
The animal rights organisation recently posted a thank you note to Kapil Sharma on his official Twitter account, thanking him for his assistance to the elephant named Sunder. PETA India announced that they had further exciting news concerning another elephant named Lakshmi, the nation’s skinniest pachyderm, who will now be rescued thanks to PETA India’s efforts. They stated that a court had given Lakshmi permission to be permanently rescued from maltreatment.

PETA India’s tweet read- “@KapilSharmaK9 Thanks again for helping elephant Sunder. We have great news about another elephant! Following PETA India’s efforts, the nation’s “skinniest elephant”, Lakshmi, has been given the green light by a court to be permanently rescued from abuse. (sic)”
PETA India’s tweet elicited a grateful response from Kapil Sharma, who described it as “great news.” He went on to say that he was “so proud” of them. It’s not the first time the comedian has been recognised by PETA India for his contributions. PETA awarded him the Person of the Year Award in 2015 for his support and efforts in assisting with the adoption of stray dogs. He even released a statement expressing his joy at being recognised for his work with animals. He also added that, while he enjoyed making people laugh, the homelessness of dogs and cats was not a laughing matter.
Recently on an upcoming episode of The Kapil Sharma Show will see guests Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur promote their upcoming film Jersey. Shahid pulls Kapil’s leg about his apparent ‘obsession’ with Archana Puran Singh in a promo teaser for the programme aired by the channel. Kapil on his show has been known to slam Archana Puran Singh on a regular basis, mocking her in a polite manner. This has been pointed out by a few guests before Shahid, but this time Shahid effectively turns the tables on Kapil, using his humour against him.
