Chandan Prabhakar, better known as Raju (Kapil Sharma’s ‘servant’ from the discontinued 'Comedy Nights With Kapil') was in Delhi recently for a shoot and spoke about the Delhi audience and shopping in Chandni Chowk. He told us, “When we shot for '
The Kapil Sharma Show' here, we were asked to make an entry while being surrounded by audience members. I was thinking, ‘Kya mere ko rokne ke liye audience aayegi bhi?’ But it was surprising to see so many people turn up to meet me and click pictures with me. Earlier, I used to perform stand-up acts in hotels in Delhi. It’s because of
Comedy Nights With Kapil
that we are receiving this much love and respect. Delhi mein ek apnapan sa lagta hai kyunki yahaan par kaafi Punjabi crowd hai.”
Speaking about his other passion– painting – he told us, “I enjoy painting in my free time. When I was in Punjab, I used to come to Nayi Sadak in Chandni Chowk to buy easels, canvases and other painting material. Dilli toh aana hota hi rehta hai, aur maine kaafi explore bhi kiya hua hai iss shehar ko. I am also planning to host a big exhibition of my artworks in Delhi. I am working on it and it will hopefully happen this year. The kind of goodwill we have because of previous show helps when I go out for meetings (in the art circle).”
