Not in Indian blood to take jokes on themselves: Krushna Abhishek

Mumbai: Popular comedian and actor Krushna Abhishek, who has been entertaining fans by playing various characters and by mimicking Bollywood celebrities for over a decade now, says one has to be careful while cracking jokes as people tend to get offended. Krushna, who has entertained fans through his humorous gags on popular TV shows like "Comedy Circus", "Comedy Classes", "Comedy Nights Bachao" and "Comedy Nights Live", is currently seen alongside comedienne Bharti Singh in "Bittu Bak Bak" -- a comedy filler shown between film breaks on Sony MAX. "It's (doing comedy is) very difficult nowadays. It is not in the Indian system and blood to take jokes on themselves. But few people love it. A few of them love roasts and do not mind jokes on themselves," Krushna told IANS. People appreciate and laugh more on filmy jokes -- be it in ‘Bittu Bak Bak' or Kapil's (Kapil Sharma) show or any comedy show for that matter," he added. Krushna's popular entertainer "Comedy Nights Bachao" courted criticism after actress Tannishtha Chatterjee expressed her views on being made a target of racist comments during her appearance. In "Bittu Bak Bak", Krushna plays Champaklal, producer of B-grade Bhojpuri movies, and Bharti is seen as his assistant Suzie. They are also seen as Professor and his student Bittu. "In our comedy filler, ‘Bittu Bak Bak', both Professor and Bittu are very filmy. We are not here to make derogatory remarks on anyone. So this should be fine," Krushna said. Krushna, who is married to actress Kashmira Shah and is the nephew of actor Govinda, has mimicked various Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Jackie Shroff during his acts on TV shows alongside his partner Sudesh Lehri.
