I was expecting bad reviews, says Krushna on the failure of Comedy Nights Live
That Comedy Nights Live could not live upto the viewers expectations is known to all by now. It was constantly compared to the previous laughter riot, Comedy Nights With Kapil. The episode apart from lame one liners, saw the cast constantly trying to compare themselves with Kapil's show and state how they are better than CNWK, making things worse.
After all the hullabaloo over the rivalry between the two comedy shows, Krushna states that he was expecting this kind of negative reaction from audiences. While talking to a leading daily, he said, "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." He further stated, "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."
He explained how irrespective of negativity, how the show must go on. "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." said the comedian.
Hmmm... We hope Krushna and Kapil stick to simply entertaining viewers; through comedy!
