I will like to say that in the show of Kapil Sharma there are a lot of 'cross dressers'. Now many people will feel why it is so? They may think that it is so because of 'choice'. I do not feel that it is because of 'choice'. Rather I feel that these cross-dressers are employed because of 'necessity'.
I feel that no woman can act the way these men are able to act by taking on the role of women. Also, because it is known that 'what lies beneath' is a man, so Kapil Sharma (and others in the show) can take liberties and do 'his kind of comedy' on the show without worrying for 'repercussions'.
Now what is this 'repercussion'?
In India, not only men but even women face a lot of 'resistance'. There is a lot of 'conservatism' in the society. 'Male chauvinism' is no doubt there. But so is the 'female chauvinism'. Since idols and photos of Goddesses/Devis/Maa is worshipped, the women in India feel that they are Goddesses.
Also, the conservative females cannot be ignored. These are the Auntys and Grannys of India. You can often find them heading the 'Mahila Sansthas' or the 'Women organisations'.
Also, the Hindu nationalists who are kind of 'crazy like mad' when it comes to 'protection of women'. Here in India, even the other minorities like Sikhs and Muslims also are tremendous 'idolators' of women.
I remember my father and mother told me when I went to Delhi that there the Punjabis will kill the person who will 'harass their girls'. Earlier when I went to Mumbai, my father used to warn me that if I go after their girl then the Gujaratis will warn that they will "cut and throw you in the Arabian Sea".
It is okay. They probably told me so, so that, fearing my life I would not indulge in any wrong activity. But even if a very small thing is true like 10% of what they said, then where does that leave the women. I would say in a very uncomfortable position. The women then have to constantly 'watch their step' so as no to 'stray away from the path'.
Thus cross-dressers can then do such kind of roles which 'no woman in India can do'. They have a certain sense of freedom because they are not bound to the 'rigid set of rules' which the 'normal women' are forced to follow. These 'cross-dressers' are a 'necessity'. 'Necessity is the mother of invention'-so we have heard. Hence, due to necessity, these cross-dressers have become the 'invention' in show like Comedy Nights with Kapil.
Also, with cross-dressers around, Kapil has an additional fillip to 'become the man'. As we know in movies, 'the man' usually is the hero. Thus Kapil becomes 'the man' and the hero. People turn to him and he becomes a very great personality in front of them. The choice is simple, due to the cross-dressers, people have the option to either watch the show or not-watch the show. If they do not watch the show, they remain stressed as they are unable to get a 'dose of comedy'. If they watch the show, Kapil becomes the hero for them.
Also, after watching the cross-dressers in action, people will find even news-readers hot. Trust me any other 'normal woman' would look better than these 'cross dressers'. One can watch any other show on TV and find the women hotter than these men dressed as women.
Thus one may not need any other 'extreme stuff' (which are banned from TV anyways) to find the 'hotness'. Just plain regular TV will do. It is like you begin to "like what you are having" rather than getting to have what you like. And that my friends is the sad reality.
