His captions spoke about how show has some 'crass humour', double meaning and sees men dressing as women. All of this being reason of his absence from episode. Here is his caption - ये प्रश्न वाइरल हो चुका है की महाभारत शो में भीष्म पितामह क्यों नहीं ? कोई कहता है उनको इन्वाइट नहीं किया गया। कोई कहता है उन्होंने ख़ुद मना किया।… ये  सच है की मैंने ख़ुद मनाकर दिया था। ….कारण ये कि भले ही कपिल शो पूरे देश में पॉप्युलर है।परंतु मुझे इससे ज़्यादा वाहियात शो कोई नहीं लगता। फूहड़ता से भरा हुआ, डबल मीनिंग जुमलों से भरपूर, अश्लीलता की ओर हर पल मुड़ता हुआ ये शो है। जिसमें मर्द औरतों के कपड़े पहनता है।घटिया हरकतें करता है और लोग पेट पकड़ कर हँसते हैं।….!

Through his caption he wanted to convey - " questions that why was Bhishma Pitamah t a part of episode, was he t invited or did he choose t to come have gone viral. truth is that I refused from being a part of show, reason being even though it is popular across world I find it really disgusting. show is full of stupidity, it has double meaning jokes and often revolves around vulgar humour. show has men dressed up as women, doing rubbish stuff and people laugh at it..."
