Rajiv Thakur defends Kapil Sharma against claims of arrogance, citing pressure, dedication, and modesty while addressing his conflict with Sunil Grover.
Rajiv Thakur is a key member of The Great Indian Kapil Show.
Kapil Sharma has frequently faced accusations of arrogance, particularly following his fallout with former co-star Sunil Grover on The Kapil Sharma Show. Actress Upasana Singh previously remarked that Kapil had become too preoccupied to offer her a proper greeting. In response, comedian Rajiv Thakur, who is associated with The Great Indian Kapil Show, has come to Kapil’s defense, emphasizing the substantial pressure that he endures. He also commented on Kapil’s well-publicized dispute with Sunil, which at one point led to their separation on the show but later saw them reunite on The Great Indian Kapil Show.
Rajiv Thakur articulated his support for Kapil Sharma, asserting that he operates under considerable stress. “Kapil is under a lot of pressure, and people fail to recognize that. Who else can memorize a script that lasts between two to two and a half hours? He has never stumbled, not even once. Every entrance he makes is accompanied by a punchline. In addition to performing, he needs to welcome guests, ensure their comfort, and collaborate with the channel’s creative team for the show’s development,” he remarked. He further added, “If the show has thrived for a decade or more, it’s due to his relentless hard work. It’s not arrogance; if I were as famous as him, I might lose my composure too.”
Rajiv Thakur praised Kapil Sharma for his humility despite achieving great fame. He acknowledged that while interacting with fans can be exhausting at times, Kapil consistently greets his admirers with warmth. Thakur also addressed Kapil’s clash with Sunil Grover, saying, “Who hasn’t had disagreements? If their conflict had been so severe, how is it that they are still appearing in projects and having a good time together? While financial factors might bring people together in a professional context, the vibe on set reveals they genuinely appreciate each other’s company. Even when Sunil was absent from the show, neither of them suffered financially. Genuine camaraderie cannot be feigned.”
