Comedian
Kiku
Sharda,
whose
popularity
has
gone
several
notches
higher
thanks
to
his
drag
act
as
Palak
in
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil,
would
now
be
appearing
on
the
dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhlaa
Jaa
as
his
on-screen
character
Palak.
He
says
he
has
no
problems
being
known
as
Palak
everywhere.
Kiku
would
be
seen
on
the
show
as
Palak
all
through.
He
would
not
be
participating
as
himself,
but
as
the
character
he
plays
on
Kapil's
show.
He
says
the
decision
to
do
the
drag
dancing
on
Jhalak...
is
not
his.
"Since
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
and
Jhalak...
are
both
on
the
same
channel
Colors,
it
is
their
decision
to
transport
me
from
Kapil's
show
to
the
dance
show
as
Palak.
I
had
no
say
in
it.
They've
also
been
asking
me
to
appear
on
their
other
shows
as
Palak.
"I'm
the
kind
of
actor
who
enjoys
being
recognized
for
playing
a
character.
Today
I
am
popular
as
Palak.
Earlier
I
was
popular
as
Akbar.
Tomorrow
I
may
be
known
for
playing
another
character.
I'd
be
happy
to
go
everywhere
as
the
character
that
I
am
popular
for
playing.
"The
roles
I
play
are
a
very
different
entity
from
the
person
that
I
am.
I
have
a
very
private
life
with
my
wife
and
kids
at
home.
Palak
is
the
public
face.
To
have
given
Palak
such
a
fiercely
independent
identity
is
not
an
easy
thing," he
said.
Kiku
hopes
to
play
Palak
for
some
more
time.
"She
is
loved
by
the
public.
I
don't
intend
to
kill
her
for
some
time
now."
About
Kiku's
appearance,
a
source
close
to
the
project
said:
"A
whole
screenplay
has
been
devised
for
Kiku's
'Palak'
avatar.
Palak
would
try
to
dance
her
way
to
victory
on
Jhalak
Dikhlaa
Jaa
and
she
would
be
bragging
to
Bittu
(Kapil
Sharma)
on
Kapil's
show
week
after
week
about
her
triumphs
on
Jhalak....
"Kapil,
who
is
shown
to
be
very
contemptuous
of
Palak,
would
be
seeing
her
with
renewed
respect
after
she
appears
on
Jhalak...."
