Archana Puran Singh clears the air about Kiku Sharda leaving 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'

Rumours recently spread across social media that comedian Kiku Sharda was quitting The Great Indian Kapil Show. Speculation about a fallout with co-star Krushna Abhishek and his involvement in another reality project led fans to believe he might step away from the popular comedy program. But now, actress Archana Puran Singh has set the record straight.

Archana Puran Singh breaks the silence

Archana Puran Singh, a permanent face on the show, dismissed the rumours in no uncertain terms. Speaking to a media outlet, she said, “Absolutely not true.” She further confirmed that Kiku has already shot his parts for the season and will continue to feature in upcoming episodes. A close source also reassured fans that Kiku remains very much part of Kapil Sharma’s team.

Viral video sparks speculation

The rumours gained momentum after a behind-the-scenes video went viral. In the clip, Kiku Sharda and Krushna Abhishek appeared to be having a heated argument. Fans were quick to assume that the fight was real and could be the reason for Kiku’s exit. However, insiders later clarified that the moment was staged and was only meant as a prank to entertain the audience. Both comedians continued to shoot together afterward, proving there was no rift between them.

Adding to the confusion was the news that Kiku had signed another reality show, titled "Rise and Fall," on MX Player. While fans speculated this meant he was leaving Kapil’s show, it has now been confirmed that Kiku will balance both projects simultaneously.
