Kapil Sharma’s Canadian Dream Shaken: Gunshots Fired at Kap’s Cafe in Surrey

Surrey, Canada – What began as a heartfelt venture into hospitality for Indian comedian Kapil Sharma has taken a dark turn. Just days after its grand opening, Kap’s Cafe — located in Surrey, British Columbia — was targeted in a midnight shooting that has left the community and fans in disbelief.

According to Surrey Police, the shooting occurred around 1:50 AM (local time) on Thursday night. Multiple gunshots were fired into the café while some staff members were reportedly inside. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported so far.

Eyewitnesses and images from the scene show at least 10 bullet holes across the café’s glass front. The area remains under heavy police presence, with forensic teams analyzing the damage.

Hours after the incident, Kap’s Cafe released an emotional statement on Instagram:

“We opened Kap’s Cafe with the intention of bringing joy, warmth, and community to Surrey. It’s heartbreaking to see violence touch something built with so much love. We’re still processing the shock, but we’re not giving up.”

The statement also thanked the public for their overwhelming support:

“Your prayers, kind DMs, and faith in us mean the world. We stand united against violence. Kap’s Cafe is here to stay — stronger, safer, and more committed than ever to serving you.”

According to initial media reports, a Khalistani separatist connection is being looked into as a possible angle behind the attack. However, Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the Surrey Police Department stated that the investigation is still in its early stages.

“We are examining possible links to other incidents and motives. It’s too soon to confirm anything definitively,” said Houghton.

Launched just a week ago, Kap’s Cafe marks Kapil Sharma’s first step into the global food and hospitality scene. Known for his wit and laughter, Sharma aimed to bring comfort food and cozy vibes to the Punjabi community in Canada — and beyond.

The shooting has shocked not just Surrey, but fans of Kapil worldwide. Social media is flooded with messages of support under the hashtag:

Local leaders, artists, and influencers have condemned the violence and urged authorities to act swiftly. For now, Kap’s Cafe remains temporarily closed, but the team has promised to reopen “under safer skies.”
