Kapil Sharma, Yuvraj Singh for cancer cause

"Yuvraj is a cancer survivor. Unfortunately, my father couldn’t survive the disease. When Yuvi told me about the auction event in London, I knew I had to attend it — even if it meant added pressure on my schedules," Kapil said.

Comedian Kapil Sharma will attend a charity event in aid of cancer, organised by cricketer Yuvraj Singh in London on Monday.

Kapil has been rushing through shooting of ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ to create a bank of episodes so he could leave in time to be part of the special cause.

“Yuvraj is a cancer survivor. Unfortunately, my father couldn’t survive the disease. When Yuvi told me about the auction event in London, I knew I had to attend it — even if it meant added pressure on my schedules,” Kapil said.

Kapil has been shooting round the clock. What makes this trip even more special for the star comedian is that his mother will be accompanying him.

“This is my mother’s first trip outside India and it is very special for me. She had a choice of getting the visa done in Mumbai or Delhi. I asked her to join me in Mumbai, so we could spend some time together. Sadly, I’ve had no time as I’m working longer hours to fulfil my commitments,” he said.
