Indian television producer Preeti Simones was reportedly in a long-term relationship with comedian Kapil Sharma. The two worked together on hit shows like Comedy Circus, Comedy Nights with Kapil, and The Kapil Sharma Show. In an exclusive conversation with Free Press Journal, Preeti opened up about the reactions she received after walking away from The Kapil Sharma Show.
Speaking to Free Press Journal, Preeti was asked whether people called her "She's mad" or said she would regret leaving The Kapil Sharma Show. Responding to the question, she said, "When I left The Kapil Sharma show, yes. I heard that a lot because obviously you have left the biggest show of the century probably."
Reflecting on her decision, Preeti added, "It was a hard call but sometimes you take these calls in life." The Maa Hai Na producer said she had been associated with comedy for a long time because that was what was expected of her professionally.
Describing that period as an "in-between phase," Preeti said she was unsure about what she was truly good at. "Because you go through a lot of it yourself," she explained. She added that once that phase passed, people stopped talking about it. Explaining the nature of the entertainment industry, Preeti said, "You are just as good as your last show. In this industry, you are relevant till your promo is coming out, or there is some news about it."
Preeti also spoke about often being identified as "someone's girlfriend." During the exclusive one-on-one, she admitted, "See for the longest time I was somebody's girlfriend. Then after we broke up and moved on in our separate lives, I became somebody's ex-girlfriend in all headlines." She further added that "eyeballs comes" in the media when a person is associated with a well-known celebrity. Preeti further claimed that women are often taken for granted or walked over because of their gender. She added that women are not only fighting to protect their work but also constantly defending their character.
