Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
has
taken
Kiku's
popularity
to
new
heights,
but
the
show,
hosted
by
master
comedian
Kapil
Sharma,
has
faced
a
lot
of
criticism
over
some
vulgar
jokes
around
physicality.
Defending
that,
Kiku
said
that
critics
pick
only
20
percent
of
the
jokes
and
leave
out
the
rest.
When
asked
about
the
use
of
physical
comedy
to
raise
the
show's
ratings,
Kiku
said:
"I
am
also
against
all
these
things
where
you
joke
on
somebody
with
reference
to
their
physicality.
But
in
Comedy
Nights
with
Kapil,
I
don't
think
that
we
get
center
forward
around
it.
We
try
to
present
comedy
in
a
decent
way
and
not
making
it
look
much
vulgar
and
cheep."
"People
pick
only
20
percent
of
the
show
and
leave
the
rest
80
percent.
But
if
they
watch
the
whole
of
it,
then
they
will
not
say
anything
against
it."
Talking
about
his
highly
famous
character
Palak
in
Comedy
Nights
with
Kapil,
Kiku
added:
"People
call
Palak
a
short-fatty
girl,
but
on
the
other
side
I
think
she
is
intelligent
and
confident
about
what
she
is
saying.
She
speaks
from
the
heart."
"With
due
respect
to
women,
I
would
like
to
say
that
people
should
not
try
to
focus
much
on
their
outer
beauty.
We
can
only
gain
stardom
when
we
are
confident
from
inside."

Actor-comedian
Kiku
Sharda,
who
currently
portrays
various
roles
like
Palak,
Pankhudi
and
Lachha
in
the
popular
TV
show
Comedy
Nights
with
Kapil,
says
he
prefers
the
small
screen
over
the
big
screen
as
he
gets
instant
feedback.
Kiku's
Films
Kiku,
who
has
also
made
his
presence
to
the
big
screen
by
his
supporting
roles
in
films
like
Phir
Hera
Pheri,
Dhamaal,
No
Problem
and
Happy
New
Year,
also
finds
TV
shows
easier
to
do
than
films
as
it
helps
him
make
instant
image
makeover.
Best
Of
TV
"The
best
part
about
TV
is
that
you
can
get
instant
response
from
the
audience
on
your
work.
But
in
films,
you
have
to
wait
for
its
release
for
any
kind
of
suggestions
from
viewers."
Handling
Pressure
"I
don't
know
how
the
filmmakers
handle
this
pressure.
With
TV
shows,
I'm
able
to
change
myself
according
to
the
needs
and
aspirations
of
my
fans.
I
find
TV
shows
easier
to
do
than
films," Kiku
told
in
an
interview.
Comical
Characters
The
actor
is
known
for
entertaining
fans
with
his
comical
characters.
And
he
says
he
would
love
to
be
etched
in
his
fans' memory
with
his
fictional
names
in
shows
rather
than
his
real
name.
Danced
As
Palak
Once
the
39-year-old
was
criticised
for
entering
the
dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa
in
the
garb
of
his
fictional
name
Palak,
and
not
by
his
real
name.
But
criticism
doesn't
affect
Kiku.
Criticisms
"Criticism
hardly
makes
any
difference
to
me.
I
want
to
be
known
by
the
characters
that
I
portray.
I
don't
want
people
to
remember
me
by
my
name.
I'd
rather
feel
honoured
if
people
will
remember
me
by
my
characters," he
said.
