"If an actor is not in Kapil’s show and has left for whatever reasons, he will do something else, he won’t just sit at home," Kiku said.

'The Kapil Sharma Show' has seen many exits ever since the show first premiered in 2018. 

From Sunil Grover, Sugandha Mishra to Ali Asgar, several artists left the hit comedy show citing various reasons inclding a public fallout betweet Kapil and Sunil after their mid-air altercation in 2017, where Kapil allegedly abused and also physically assaulted 'Tandav' actor. Sunil later went ahead and launched his own comedy show 'Mad in India' and then 'Gangs of Filmistan', both of which did not fare well. 

Also, there were artists who left the show, only to return like Chandan Prabhakar, Bharti Singh and Krushna Abhishek. 

For the unversed, Krushna Abhishek too had shouldered many a comedy shows such as 'Comedy Classes', 'Comedy Nights Bachao' and 'Comedy Nights Live', all of which weren't really successful. 

Kiku Sharda too had shouldered a show 'Har Mushkil Ka Hal Akbar Birbal' on his, which was a success, but, the second season, led by Ali Asgar, wrapped up in two months time. 

Talking about all the failures, Kiku in a recent conversation with KoiMoi said, he doesn't want to pull anyone down.

Kiku Sharda said, "I am not going to point fingers at anyone and dissect why their shows didn't work. If an actor is not in Kapil’s show and has left for whatever reasons, he will do something else, he won’t just sit at home. In the past, even I have done shows that have wrapped up in three months. The controversy that happened is an old story now, and if actors are not coming back to this show, they might as well try something new. There are various factors that make a show, so if the shows of other actors did not work, it’s not their fault. I don’t think it is fair to take names or bring down someone because their show didn’t do well."

About Ali Asgar's show wrapping in a month, Kiku replied to KoiMoi, "It is not easy to pull off the second season of any show. Also, the second season was very different and not in the same format, so how can I comment? I have not done a daily for many years after doing 'FIR' and 'Partners' since I have been part of Kapil's show."

Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma recently confirmed that his show 'The Kapil Sharma Show' is going off-air because he need to be at home with his wife Ginni Chatrath, who is pregnant for the second time.
