The news comes as a relief to fans who were concerned after rumours circulated that the show was being discontinued and that several key cast members, including Kiku, might not return.

Kiku Sharda Confirms Show’s Return
Kiku Sharda, one of the most beloved faces on Indian television, confirmed that The Great Indian Kapil Show is gearing up for its next season. The Netflix comedy talk show, hosted by Kapil Sharma, has been on a short break after wrapping up its first season earlier this year.
“There’s no truth to the rumours that I’ve left the show or that it’s been cancelled,” Kiku said. “The entire team is excited, and we’ll be back soon with a new set of episodes. Fans can expect even more laughter, new guests, and fresh sketches.”
This statement comes after weeks of speculation following the show’s hiatus. Some fans on social media claimed that creative differences among cast members led to delays, but Kiku dismissed these as baseless rumours.
About The Great Indian Kapil Show
The Great Indian Kapil Show debuted on Netflix earlier this year and quickly became one of India’s most-watched comedy talk shows on the platform. The show follows a familiar format — featuring celebrity interviews, comic sketches, and spontaneous banter led by Kapil Sharma.
The first season featured a star-studded lineup including Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Vicky Kaushal, and Diljit Dosanjh, among many others. The chemistry between the cast members — Kapil Sharma, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Archana Puran Singh, and Rajiv Thakur — was one of the highlights of the show.
Fans particularly appreciated how the show retained its charm while transitioning from television to a digital streaming platform. The improved production value, creative freedom, and Netflix’s global reach helped it find new audiences beyond India.

Addressing Exit Rumours
Rumours about Kiku Sharda leaving the show began circulating soon after the season ended. Some online reports suggested that Kiku had disagreements with the production team and had decided to part ways. However, Kiku firmly denied these claims.
“I’ve been working with Kapil and the team for more than a decade now. We’ve built a bond like family. There’s no question of leaving. We just took a short break to recharge and plan the next phase. People love to speculate, but the truth is, we’re all very much together,” he explained.
Kiku’s clarification has reassured fans, many of whom took to social media to express excitement over the show’s return. The camaraderie between Kapil and Kiku has been one of the strongest elements of the show since the early Comedy Nights with Kapil days, and viewers were not ready to imagine a season without him.
Kiku’s Other Projects
While The Great Indian Kapil Show was on pause, Kiku kept himself busy with other ventures. He appeared in the reality competition series Rise and Fall and also made appearances on business-themed entertainment shows, including one hosted by Ashneer Grover.
Talking about balancing multiple projects, Kiku said, “As an artist, I love exploring new formats. Rise and Fall gave me a chance to try something different, but comedy will always be my first love. That’s why I’m so thrilled to return to TGIKS — it’s home.”
He added that working with Kapil’s team has always been special because of the creative freedom they enjoy and the strong audience connection they’ve built over the years.
What to Expect in the New Season
