Has Rajiv Thakur exited The Great Indian Kapil Show? The comedian responds

Actor comedian Kapil Sharma's The Great Indian Kapil Show returned for its third season in June, while bringing back popular faces like Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Sunil Grover. However, netizens were quick to observe that Rajiv Thakur was missing from the show’s lineup.

Recently, the comedian-actor addressed his absence from the 3rd season in an interview.

In a chat with Pinkvilla, Rajiv finally addressed his absence. While chatting about the same, he said, “Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta, obviously aapko nikala gaya hoga.”

Quoting further in laughter the comedian added, “Just kidding. Shayad kuch dates match nahi hui kyunki voh beech beech mein bula rahe the. Like ek episode kiya fir dusre ki mere paas date nahi thi. Mereko naa ek hota hai commitment kardi toh uspe rehna hai. Unko bhi time ka bahut chal raha hai ki 55 min ka hi episode banana hai, already Kiku, Krushna aur guest have so much to do fir yahan space bhut kum banti hai aapki.”
