Comedian
Kiku
Sharda,
who
entertains
viewers
with
his
drag
act
as
Palak
in
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil,
says
he
had
to
go
out
of
his
way
to
make
comedy
sequences
in
the
TV
show
more
appealing
after
Sunil
Grover
left
the
show.
Kiku
and
Sunil
made
a
delightful
duo
as
Palak
and
Gutthi
on
the
show
and
their
work
was
widely
appreciated
by
the
audience.
Sunil
left
the
show
midway,
leaving
Kiku
to
hold
the
fort
in
the
show,
led
by
star
comedian
Kapil
Sharma.
"I
had
to
make
my
own
ground
while
Sunil
wasn't
around.
My
job
is
to
entertain
people
and
I
wanted
to
do
whatever
I
could
with
my
character
Palak," Kiku
told.
"Sunil
Grover
is
an
extremely
talented
actor
and
a
dear
friend
too.
I
have
known
him
for
the
last
ten
years.
I
enjoyed
myself
while
we
were
together
as
Gutthi
and
Palak.
For
whatever
reasons
he
left
the
show,
I
think
he
is
fabulous," he
added.
Kiku
is
happy
that
his
hard
work
has
paid
off
as
his
popularity
has
gone
several
notches
higher
thanks
to
his
portrayal
of
Palak.
"It
has
turned
out
to
be
entertaining,
and
the
audience
seems
to
be
enjoying
it
now.
When
Sunil
left,
I
was
a
little
reluctant
and
the
whole
responsibility
came
upon
me.
But
I
think
I
delivered
it
(what
was
required).
So
it's
good
for
the
show
and
it's
good
for
me,"
said
the
actor-comedian,
who
will
soon
be
seen
competing
on
dance
reality
show
"Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa".
Do
you
feel
that
the
audience
won't
accept
you
in
other
roles
and
just
comedy?
"There's
nothing
like
that.
My
audience
enjoys
watching
me
have
fun.
They
love
my
work.
I
have
been
doing
my
roles
wholeheartedly.
I
get
a
lot
of
blessings
for
what
I
do.
What
else
can
I
ask
for,"
said
Kiku,
who
is
currently
seen
playing
Akbar
in
his
new
show
"Akbar-Birbal".
Asked
whether
he
wants
to
start
a
show
of
his
own,
the
actor
said:
"I
have
no
plans
to
start
any
show
like
Kapil
Sharma.
I
am
enjoying
my
time
and
work
on
the
small
screen."
Kiku
has
also
showcased
his
acting
skills
on
the
big
screen
in
"Phir
Hera
Pheri"
(2006)
and
"No
Problem"
(2010)
and
will
now
be
seen
in
Farah
Khan's
"Happy
New
Year".
He's
open
to
more
films.
"If
something
interesting
comes
to
me
in
the
main
lead,
then
I
would
definitely
go
for
a
film.
But
as
of
now,
TV
is
taking
all
my
time
and
I
am
thoroughly
enjoying
it,"
he
said.
