Producer Preeti Simoes has criticised media coverage that repeatedly identifies her as comedian Kapil Sharma’s former girlfriend. In an interview with the Free Press Journal, reported by The Times of India, Simoes said headlines focused on her relationship with Sharma instead of her work. She was the creative force behind Comedy Nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show. Simoes said she and Sharma had moved on with their separate lives, adding that former partners can remain friends or maintain a cordial professional relationship. She also said women are often blamed when outsiders discuss a breakup. Sharma married Ginni Chatrath in December 2018, and they have two children.
