Quotes from Kiku Sharda

I am not at all justifying Kapil's abusive behavior. I am only trying to say that when you know the person is depressed, you are still publishing negative stories about him and trying to break him. Why are you instigating him when you know his mental state? It looks as though people have an agenda.

I have been doing comedy for the last 15 years but I don't have any qualms admitting that I have learnt a lot from Kapil Sharma. I respect his talent and have not seen a performer like him in my career.

I play board games with my sons and they are very interesting and I have discovered a few which I was not aware of.

Comedy comes with a bit of sarcasm, wit and edginess.

In a live show, the reaction to our jokes is instant. You know immediately whether the joke is working or not.

The apprehension whether people will like it or not also doesn't bother me much. I've always done my work with a gut feeling that this is what I would like to do and I've always enjoyed doing it.

I can't take so much of burden on my head, I am a happy-go-lucky guy, I don't take pressure.

Oh, I really miss Grover yaar. Sunil and I have known each other for long even before we started working together on 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' or 'TKSS' and our bonding and chemistry reflected on-screen when we worked together. We have partied a lot together.

It used to be crazy as I would shoot till 5 A. M. for Kapil's show and then rush to the sets of 'Akbar Birbal' and then finish my dance practice.

Dancing will never be a burden for me, even if I have to work till late in the night.

I don't get to see my kids at home, so I invite them on the sets... time management has become a very big problem.

I don't get much time to rehearse for dance everyday. At the end of the day, I get drained out. With a heavy body, it's difficult to manage but I am trying.

I am missing the process, shoots, audience, applause from them, my co-stars and everything related to 'TKSS.'

I barely get four hours of sleep everyday. I am shooting non-stop for 'CNWK' and 'Akbar-Birbal.' But it's all worth it when people smile at me at traffic signals in warm recognition. I couldn't have asked for more.

A lot of people tell me that on screen you're jumping and bouncing around with joy, but I take too much time to open up in newer surroundings.

I really wish that 'Angrezi Medium' would have released a little earlier or little after - at least, we would have had a proper release. The movie was taken down after one day of release. It is such a beautiful film and Irrfan Khan hasn't done a film in a long time, given his health conditions.

I have loved, adored and admired Irrfan Khan's work. Some of his movies are remarkable. So, working with him has been an honor and pleasure for me.

I don't want people to remember me by my name. I'd rather feel honored if people will remember me by my characters.

Kapil has his friends circle whom he hangs around with and I have mine, but as co-stars I have immense respect for him.

In the past, even I have done shows that have wrapped up in three months.

Akbar and Birbal stories have an instant connect with people of all ages.

I am a big fan of Johnny Lever.

Once you grow up in a routine life, you start looking for funny moments from daily life. I don't know where did I get my sense of humor from but I used to joke on even small things, slowly things fall in place.

I am extremely excited to play the character of Akbar once again on BIG Magic's 'Naya Akbar Birbal.' There is no better feeling than knowing that your character is so loved by the audience.
