Renowned comedian Krushna Abhishek has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment industry with his impeccable comic timing and versatile performances. From his early days in Comedy Circus to his latest venture on Netflix’s “The Great Indian Kapil Show,” Krushna has consistently entertained audiences with his wit and charm. However, in a recent revelation, Krushna shed light on his initial foray into comedy and the influence of his uncle, Govinda, on his career trajectory.
In a candid conversation with Bharti TV, Krushna Abhishek disclosed that his entry into the world of comedy was primarily driven by financial incentives rather than a passion for the craft. Prior to his stint on Comedy Circus, Krushna had limited experience in comedy, having only participated in the dance reality show Nach Baliye with his wife, Kashmera Shah. However, the allure of substantial earnings led him to accept the offer to join Comedy Circus.
Krushna revealed that he was offered a lucrative sum of Rs 1.5 lakh per episode for his role on Comedy Circus, a figure that significantly exceeded his expectations. With the show’s rigorous shooting schedule, which involved filming two episodes per day, Krushna found himself earning a staggering Rs 3 lakh daily—an impressive feat by any standard.
Moreover, Krushna attributed his rapid rise to fame on Comedy Circus to his familial connection with Govinda, who is his uncle. He acknowledged that the show’s producers were particularly interested in him due to his association with the veteran actor, which ultimately played a pivotal role in shaping his comedic career.
Despite their professional success, Krushna’s relationship with Govinda has been marred by disagreements and misunderstandings in recent years. The rift between the families, exacerbated by Krushna’s jokes about their strained relationship on The Kapil Sharma Show, has strained their once-close bond. However, Krushna remains grateful for the opportunities afforded to him by Comedy Circus and acknowledges its role in catapulting him to stardom alongside his comedy partner, Sudesh Lehri.
As Krushna Abhishek continues to dazzle audiences with his comedic prowess, his candid revelations offer a glimpse into the complexities of his journey in the entertainment industry and the enduring influence of familial ties on his career trajectory.
