Kiku Sharda is not leaving The Great Indian Kapil Show, will return when…

However, according to a report by Screen, these claims are false. Actor Archana Puran Singh, who is also a key member of The Great Indian Kapil Show, dismissed the rumours, stating they are "absolutely not true."

Another insider told the publication, “There was no sudden exit and definitely no tension within the team. His involvement in Rise & Fall began only after he wrapped up his commitments to Kapil’s show, which may have led to the confusion among fans.”

Speculation about a rift between Kiku and Krushna escalated after a behind-the-scenes video surfaced on Instagram. The clip showed the two in a seemingly heated exchange, with Kiku saying, "Timepass kar raha hu? (Am I doing time pass?)" and Krushna replying sharply, "Toh phir thik hai aap kar lo. Main jata hu yaha se. (Ok, then you do it. I am leaving)" Kiku responded, "Baat yeh hai ke mujhe bulaya hai toh main apna khatam kar lo na pehle. (The thing is if I have been called, then I might as well finish it)".
