"The shoot was scheduled to begin around 5.30 pm. But as Kapil had not come till then, we made some calls and it was then we were told that he is not keeping well but will try to come in for the shoot as soon as possible. But till 10 pm when he did not turn up, everyone decided that they shall leave after waiting for over four hours," Indian media reported.
"As Kapil's health was involved, the team decided to wait for him for some more time and finish the shoot," the source said.
Currently, he is being treated in a hospital and not yet discharged. He was under doctor’s supervision.
He fainted on the sets of his show a few days back and had to cancel the shoot with Shah Rukh Khan and Imtiaz Ali for the promotion of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’.
