Amid rift rumours, Kiku Sharda shared a new photo with Krushna Abhishek.

In the photo, both of them put their fingers to their lips as they looked at the camera. The words written on it read, "A never-ending story."

What did Kiku say about exiting Kapil Sharma's show

Kiku also shared that he is still a part of Kapil's show. "Don’t fall for all this gossip and rumours ki I’ve left The Great Indian Kapil Show. I’ll always be a part of the show and this parivaar (family). Toh yeh sab chhodo aur jao Netflix pe show dekho - sirf 3 episode baaki hain (So leave all these and go to Netflix to watch the show--which has only three episodes left)," concluded the post.

Rumours of Kiku leaving The Great Indian Kapil Show began after a video of him fighting with Krushna emerged online. The behind-the-scenes showed the two in a heated exchange. In the clip, Kiku said, "Timepass kar raha hoon (Am I doing time pass)?" and Krushna replied, "Toh phir thik hai aap kar lo. Main jata hoon yaha se (Ok, then you do it. I am leaving)."

Kiku responded, "Baat yeh hai ke mujhe bulaya hai toh main apna khatam kar lo na pehle (The thing is, if I have been called, then I might as well finish it)." Krushna said, "I love you and respect you, I don't want to raise my voice," to which Kiku replied, "Raise voice ka baat nahi hai, aap isko galat tarike se leke jaa rahe hai (There's no question of raising voice, you are taking it in a wrong way)."

An insider told Screen, “There was no sudden exit and definitely no tension within the team. His involvement in Rise & Fall began only after he wrapped up his commitments to Kapil’s show, which may have led to the confusion among fans.”
