Why will I feel insecure? I am happy. I don’t know what will happen in the next five years. I don’t know what will happen in the next five minutes. I don’t think so much.

Ques: The last episode was not completely shown…
Kapil: (Cuts in) I don’t want to talk about that last episode. (In talks with Queen director Vikas Bahl for a film: Kapil Sharma)

Ques: You won’t be able to use the characters of Gutthi, Daadi and others from CNWK in your new show. Going forward what precautions will you take to see to it that you have the freedom to use the characters you create in your new show even outside of it?

Kapil: Sir, I really don’t understand this jhol (mischief). I don’t understand why people do such kind of things. When I started doing Babaji ka Thullu, it became such a rage that it became imprinted on T-shirts, shoes and even packet of chips. When I went to Australia. I came across a website that was making Babaji ka Thullu printed T-shirts from 1000 rupees. Kaam koi kar raha hai aur paisa koi aur kama raha hai. But I have not copyrighted or patented anything. We make and distribute our creations.

Ques: But do you think it is right on the part of a channel to claim the ownership of these characters.
Kapil: How can they claim it only for themselves? We should have the freedom. Look at Gutthi’s character. In North, many girls dress up like this. Will they claim patent over their looks? We draw these characters from our own society.

Ques: Talking about The Kapil Sharma Show, we hear SRK will be your first guest?
Kapil: Even I don’t know. I read it on Twitter first. I guess the channel perhaps is in talks.

Ques: Did you personally invite him?
Kapil: I personally called Shah Rukh bhai but he didn’t answer. Perhaps he was busy.
