Kapil Sharma is so overworked and stressed by the criticism about his supposed high-handed behavior at the CCL that he has developed a back-pain.

`I am shooting through the pain.And it's not just physical pain.It's the pain of being constantly attacked and held accountable for crimes that you didn't even know you committed,` says Kapil in an uncharacteristically somber mood.

Reports that he threw a tantrum for a vanity van at the Celebrity Cricket League's inaugural event on Saturday, have Kapil perturbed.

Defending himself the comic virtuoso says, `There was no show of dada-giri from my end. I can never behave badly. I never have.I never will. Baat 1 lakh ki hai ussey 14 crore ki banaayee gayi hai (the matter has been blown out of all proportions). .`

So what really happened at the CCL's inaugural event?

Explains Kapil, `I was shooting for my show Comedy Nights With Kapil until 1 am. I reached the venue of the CCL event at 3 am straight from the other shooting. I needed a private space to freshen up, grab a bite and to plug in my laptop so I could rehearse my lines before going on stage. There was no such place.`

Kapil says he discussed the problem with the organizers before leaving. `Everyone was in the loop. Vishnu Sir(CCI founder Vishnu Vardhan Induri) was also informed. I share a great rapport with Sohail Bhai(Sohail Khan co-owner Mumbai Heroes). In fact during the last season of the CCL I was on stage for a good two hours doing what I enjoy the most. This time I couldn't be there unfortunately for the opening event. But Mandira Bediji was more than adequate doing the anchoring.In any case I can't comment on cricket.She can.`


Kapil says he is ready and available for the future CCL games as and how he is wanted. `I share a superb rapport with Sohail Bhai. This kind of talk creates bad blood for nothing.Shouldn't we be focusing on the positive rather than spreading ugly rumours?I have my show to run twice a week now. It's taking up all my time. Still,I'd be more than happy to stand by my friends whenever they need me.`

Pained Kapil ends, `I don't want to be accused of getting too big for my boots. If I am then I'd rather not wear boots.Tell me , do I look like someone who would throw a tantrum for petty reasons? I've been brought up in austere conditions.I know how to rough it out.`

When contacted Sohail Khan said neither he nor Salman had any problems with Kapil. `Kapil is and will remain a friend.`
