Buckle up to take the flight of laughter once again as The Great Indian Kapil Show gears up for another season full of laughter, masti and a host of celebrity guests. And in an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Kiku Sharda speaks about being the only actor who has stayed constant with Kapil Sharma ever since 2013, transitioning from television to Netflix, and mimicking Sunny Deol and the actor’s reaction. Edited excerpts from the interview In these 11 years, so many actors have joined and left Kapil Sharma’s show, but you have remained intact.
How has the bond between you and him evolved over the years? I think it comes from a space of respect. I truly respect the talent that Kapil Sharma possesses, and I’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen people.
I’ve done a lot of work myself before working with Kapil, but the kind of commitment that he has to his craft and the understanding of his own art and craft is so much that, if you spend time with Kapil, I mean, you’re bound to learn a lot, which I think I have over the last 11 years. I have always kept the show more important than anything else. So for me, the show must go on, and, it’s an important show.
And I’m not just saying it because there are multiple shows being made, but, this is a very important show because, you know, when people come to me and say my grandfather or grandmother is probably not well, but hospitals mein aapka show dekh ke hum hanste hain to yeh show zaroori hai . It’s important for us to make you.
