Whatever is happening off-screen between actorcomed­ian Krushna Abhishek and his actor uncle Govinda has created headlines. And what happens on-screen, therefore, leads to a lot of eyebrows being raised, too.

The latest instance of this are the reports that Abhishek was offended by one of the jokes cracked by his fellow actor Kiku Sharda, on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show. There have been instances in the past when digs were taken at Govinda and Abhishek’s notso-good equation, and the two have gone on record to be vocal about it.

This time, Abhishek said, ‘Chhee Chhee aise baat nahi karte’, to which Sharda replied, ‘Chi Chi (Govinda’s nickname) toh aapse baat nahi karte’. This was enough to set tongues wagging. Recently, Abhishek had even refused to perform in one of the episodes when Govinda had to make an appearance.

However, when we reached out to Abhishek and Sharda, they maintained that there wasn’t any bitterness between them. Sharda says, “There is no fight at all, it’s a part of the script, yaar.”

Does cracking jokes on something personal without crossing any lines get difficult sometimes? “No, because we are on the same page. Our final motive is to entertain the audience. Scripts are discussed internally before we go on stage. There’s nothing at all that both of us don’t know. We are aware, there’s no chance of anything like that happening,” maintains the 45-year-old.

Adding that “all is well” between him and Abhishek, Kiku shares, “He’s a dear friend, and a talented boy. I enjoy working with him.”

Abhishek, on his part, sums it up in one sentence: “There is no fight between me and Kiku. These are all just rumours. I love him, and I absolutely love working with him.” Guess all’s well that ends well!
