Article- Kiku Sharda: when I visit Jodhpur I feel I

Kiku Sharda, also known as Palak from Comedy Nights With Kapil, was recently in his home town Jodhpur to promote his show Har Mushkil Ka Hal Akbar-Birbal with co-actor Delnaaz Paul. "I feel very connected with the city. My father, who was born and brought up in Jodhpur, also has a special place for it in his heart. I have never lived here, but it's my birth place. Living in Mumbai, my dad misses everything related to the city, but he keeps a close tab on the Marwari community, actors from Rajasthan and so on. So whenever I visit this place, I feel like I am making him happy," he told JT.


While touring the city, Kiku also took Delnaaz to a famous food joint. He said, "Travelling to Jodhpur also gives me an opportunity to gorge on the delicacies that are only available in this region of Rajasthan. Delnaaz also had a great time and enjoyed dal, baati and churma.People from Jodhpur survive on sweets, so if there is no mithai, I don't feel satisfied" 
Despite his hectic schedule, Kiku managed to meet his relatives. "Being in the entertainment industry, I can't manage to attend family gatherings, but if I am in Jodhpur, I don't miss the opportunity to meet my cousins and their families. I also stole a few hours and went shopping, but it was work-related. Playing the character of Akbar on my show, I have to buy many pairs of mojris (Jodhpuri jooti), and there is no better place than Jodhpur to buy them. I also bought traditional kurta-pyjamas for my little boys Aryan and Shaurya," he said.



Kiku, who is known for his comedy shows, has no qualms that he is typecast as a comedian. "I love doing comedy shows as I get to spend the entire day laughing while working. I am not an ambitious person and have no passion to win an Oscar. Comedy is something I enjoy thoroughly. Satisfaction is far more important than anything else.
