Kiku Sharda, known for his hilarious role as Bumper Lottery, has reportedly left The Great Indian Kapil Show. He has been a key part of Kapil Sharma’s team for years, so the news of his exit has surprised many fans.
Rumors began after a video of a heated exchange between Kiku and fellow comedian Krushna Abhishek went viral. In the clip, Kiku says, “Timepass kar raha hu?” to which Krushna replies, “Toh phir thik hai aap karlo… Main jata hu yaha se.” The clip led fans to believe there was tension between the two, and that this may have triggered Kiku’s decision to quit.
Popular paparazzo Viral Bhayani posted on Instagram, hinting that the situation might be more professional than personal. According to him, Kiku has reportedly signed a new project a reality show called Rise & Fall, which will stream on Amazon MX Player, a rival of Netflix where Kapil’s show airs. The new show will be hosted by Ashneer Grover, and Kiku’s move may have been driven by this opportunity, rather than any fight.
As of now, Kiku Sharda hasn’t confirmed his departure from the show. Neither has the production team of The Great Indian Kapil Show made a statement. Fans are hoping that the news is temporary or that there’s more clarity soon.
