Rajiv Thakur Spoke About His Absence From The Great Indian Kapil Show
According to Hindustan Times, in an interview, Rajiv talked about his absence from The Great Indian Kapil Show. He shared, “Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta, obviously aapko nikala gaya hoga.” He then laughed it off and said, “Just kidding. Shayad kuch dates match nahi hui kyunki woh bich bich mein bula rahe the. Jaise ek episode kiya, fir dusre ki date mere paas nahi thi.”
He further added, “Mereko naa ek hota hai ki commitment kardi toh uspe rehna hai. Shayad unko bhi time ka bohot chal raha tha ki 55 minutes ka hi episode banana hai; already Kiku, Krushna, Sunil Grover aur jo guest aate hai, they have so much to do fir yaha space bohot kam banti hai aapki. And if you can’t do justice, then what’s the point?”
With the massive success of two seasons, Kapil Sharma’s comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show recently returned with Season 3 in June on Netflix. The show featured Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda. In Season 3, the makers added a new concept of fan talent showcases. The new season also marked the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu alongside Archana Puran Singh. However, Rajiv Thakur had been a part of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 1 and Season 2, but he was absent from Season 3, and it was noticed by viewers.
