Kapil Sharma Opens Up on Vancouver Café Shootings, Praises Mumbai Police for Strong Security

Mumbai, November 26, 2025 — Comedian and actor Kapil Sharma has spoken for the first time about the shootings that took place at his cafés in Vancouver, Canada, describing the incidents as a reflection of weak law enforcement abroad and expressing renewed appreciation for India’s security agencies.

Kapil recalled that there were three separate shootings targeting his cafés. He said local authorities in Vancouver appeared ineffective in dealing with the situation. “These incidents happened in Canada, in Vancouver. I think there were three shootings there,” he said, adding, “I think the police there don’t have enough power to control things.”

He revealed that the case escalated to the highest levels, ultimately reaching Canada’s federal court and sparking discussions in the Canadian Parliament. Kapil said many people later told him that similar incidents had occurred earlier, but the attack on his café brought unprecedented attention, prompting police to take stronger steps to improve law and order.

Drawing a sharp contrast with his experience abroad, Kapil said he has never felt unsafe in India. “I never feel like this in Mumbai or in my country. There’s no one like our Mumbai Police,” he said, praising the city’s police force for its efficiency and reliability.

Despite the shootings, Kapil noted that public support for his café actually increased. “After all the gunfire there, we actually saw a bigger opening at our café. If God is with you, everything is fine,” he added.
