“Comedy Nights Live” has not received good reviews after its first episode was telecasted; however, Krushna is pretty hopeful that soon they will also get the same love and affection of viewers which they showered on Kapil Sharma and his show “Comedy Nights With Kapil.” Recently, Krushna Abhishek had a candid interaction with DNA where he talked more openly about how he felt with the response and whether this was the kind of thing they expected from the show’s very first episode!
When asked about the response, he stated, “Definitely. I was expecting bad reviews. This was Kapil’s (Sharma) show and we came on air just a week after his ended. This happens with every new show.”
Krushna further said, “When we were planning Comedy Nights Bachao, everybody told us Roast jaise shows India mein nahi chalte. I was told ‘Tumhare show mein Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone nahi ayenge. This will be a flop show’. Kapil had also told me that. But today Comedy Nights Bachao is one of the top-rated shows. Production houses are calling me to say so and so actors will be coming on your show.”
Getting more candid, Krushna said, “Today people want entertainment. If not me somebody else will do it. For two months log gaaliyan denge… Gradually, we want to increase audience interaction. It’s a learning process. Bahut saara baggage leke kar raha hoon. Kapil has his own fan following, even I am one. Main uske joote mein chal raha hoon, so people will be angry. But memory is short. No actor is god. Mihir Virani died in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi but producer Ekta Kapoor continues making shows.”
