Comedian Kapil Sharma has filed a complaint against a Mumbai-based film journalist and former managers - Preeti and Neeti - for defaming him on the digital media.
Earlier, the journalist Vickey Lalwani, editor of SpotboyE.com, had accused Kapil Sharma of using abusive language and threatening him.
Kapil, who now hosts a new show 'Family Time With Kapil Sharma' on Sony TV, had contended that the posts had affected his mental and emotional health as personal remarks were made about his "career, relationships, fiance and friendships" by the journalist.
On Friday, Kapil has posted a series of tweets that were abusive in nature. The tweets were deleted and it was posted on his page that his account was hacked.
On Saturday, the 37-year-old actor and presenter said that his Twitter account was not hacked and his team had deleted the posts and he stands by what he said.
"Maine jo b likha tha apne dil se likha tha.. it was my team who deleted my tweets .. But main xxxxxxxxxxxxx darne wala nahi hu.. he can write anything for anybody just for few bucks. Shameless," he tweeted.
Preeti and Neeti were also the creative directors of his previous TV show 'The Kapil Sharma Show' on Sony TV that ran into a series of controversies.
