Mumbai, Oct 16 (NationPress) Actor-comedian Kiku Sharda, renowned for his humorous performances on television, recently divulged insights about his true personality beyond the screen.
In a candid conversation with IANS, he expressed that although he entertains audiences with his comedy, he is inherently more reserved in real life and doesn’t engage in conversation as much as one might assume. Kiku stated, “Being a comic actor didn’t change my demeanor at home. I never felt obligated to be funny at all times, nor did I enter with such a mindset. Just because I perform comedy on TV, it doesn't mean I'm joking 24/7 in my personal life.”
“In my off-screen life, I’m rather reserved — my conversations are less frequent than what people might think. Therefore, being comedic wasn’t a pressure on the show; however, I did get to showcase my talent during weekend segments, which served as a light-hearted respite for everyone. Those moments helped ease the intensity of the competition,” he remarked.
Kiku Sharda was recently evicted from the OTT reality show “Rise and Fall.” Reflecting on his time there, he said, “The five weeks I spent on the show were truly a remarkable experience. There were instances where I felt a bit overwhelmed, but everything was genuine — real emotions, real reactions. I aimed to maintain my authenticity within the house, avoiding any semblance of pretense with friendships or rivalries.”
He added, “Initially, I was somewhat puzzled during the first few weeks, trying to grasp what was unfolding around me. But once I figured out the game dynamics, I understood the necessity of strategy — you needed to think ahead and act wisely. All in all, I cherished the journey and discovered quite a bit about myself.”
On the work front, Kiku is widely celebrated for his role as Constable Mulayam Singh Gulgule in Sony SAB's beloved comedy show “F.I.R.” He has also graced platforms like “Comedy Nights with Kapil” on Colors TV and “The Kapil Sharma Show,” where he has portrayed a range of unforgettable characters.
