Kiku Sharda is a Rockstar Beyond Comedy-Gaurav Gera
The new reality show Rise and Fall, hosted by Ashneer Grover, has quickly grabbed attention on OTT. With intense fights, unexpected twists and strong personalities, it is already giving shows like Bigg Boss some tough competition. Among the contestants is well-known comedian and actor Kiku Sharda, who is revealing a side of himself the audience rarely sees.
Kiku’s close friend and fellow actor-comedian Gaurav Gera spoke about Kiku’s journey in the show. “Definitely, Kiku is a fun guy, but in a 24-hour show you can’t be funny all the time. People will get to see his human side, his wise side, as well as his intelligent side. Comedy gives you a different image, but as a person, Kiku is very bright and intelligent,” Gaurav shared.
He also praised Kiku’s adaptability in the game. “I think the rich house definitely suits Kiku, but he is also enjoying living on the other side. Kiku understands that there is a brighter side to both situations, even though each comes with its own limitations. He is a rockstar and will continue to shine like one,” he added.
The two comedians share a long history. “We did a TV show together in 2004 — The Great Indian Comedy Show — so our friendship is 21 years old. Even back then, I admired him as both an actor and a person. We have been friends ever since,” said Gaurav.
He further mentioned how proud he is of Kiku. “We have always stayed in touch, and before he entered the house, we spoke. I’m glad he is playing so well, it’s smooth, fun to watch, and he truly is the right choice for this show. This platform is perfect for him too.”
With contestants like Kiku Sharda, Dhanashree Verma, Arjun Bijlani, and Pawan Singh, Rise and Fall is becoming a major force in the reality TV space. For Kiku, this is not only about entertaining people but also about showing audiences the man behind the comedy.
