Kapil Sharma
There was a lot of discussion about the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu recently on The Great Indian Kapil show. But the fans also paid attention to the absence of comedian Rajiv Thakur. Rajiv’s absence, known for his unmatched timing and friendship with Kapil Sharma, raised many questions. Now the comedian has finally broken his silence on why he did not appear in the new season. Recently, in a conversation with Pinkvilla, Rajiv jokingly joked in his familiar style, ‘Nobody rests in such a big show, obviously you must have come out.’ Then he explained the real reason for his absence. Rajiv said, ‘The dates were not matching. They were calling in between, but I had some commitments already, and I do not like to break them. ‘
There was less space left in the show
He further said that even in the limited time of the show, there was little space for him. He further said, ‘In those 55 minutes, Kapil, Sunil Grover and Krishna Abhishek were to skits their own, as well as a guest segment. There was no space left. And if you cannot do justice to a character, then what do you mean? ‘ But Rajiv did not only tell about the problems of the schedule, he also explained how humor had damaged his public image at one time. Recalling the days of Comedy Circus, Rajiv narrated a heart touching anecdote of working with child artist Saloni Daani. ‘She was very young at that time, and I did not like to make fun of her. So I heard him very well and said that he made fun of me. ‘
Career damage caused by special punchline
A special punchline, I am living on a child’s salary ‘may have made people laugh in the show, but it also had unexpected results. He admitted, ‘People started accepting it as true. They started thinking of me boring or unsuccessful. This notion remained with me behind the screen. But can a boring person perform 14 seasons of a comedy show in 8 years? ‘ This revelation of Rajiv reminds us of the thin line on which comedians often walk between character and identity and also how the best jokes, while landing on the stage, sometimes leave their impression.
