Rajiv Thakur reveals the reason behind not being part of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, while talking about the reason behind his absence from the show, Rajiv said, "Itne bade show se koi rest nahi leta, obviously aapko nikala gaya hoga (No one takes such a long break from a big show, obviously, you must have been removed)."
He laughed and added, “Just kidding. Shayad kuch dates match nahi hui kyunki voh beech beech mein bula rahe the. Like ek episode kiya fir dusre ki mere paas date nahi thi. Mereko naa ek hota hai commitment kardi toh uspe rehna hai. Unko bhi time ka bahut chal raha hai ki 55 min ka hi episode banana hai, already Kiku, Krushna aur guest have so much to do fir yahan space bhut kum banti hai aapki (Maybe some dates didn’t match because they were calling me in between, like I did one episode, but then I didn’t have dates for the next. For me, once I commit to something, I like to stick to it. They also have strict time constraints, needing to fit everything into a 55-minute episode. With Kiku, Krushna, and the guest already having so much to do, there’s very little space left for anyone else).”
