Rajiv Thakur credits Kapil Sharma's support on IC 814's success

Before IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, Rajiv has been an inseparable part of Kapil Sharma’s team. He performs gags at concerts across the world. Sharing an incident, Rajiv credited Kapil’s support for being able to do the series. In an interview with a news portal, he revealed the comedian encouraged him to sign IC 814.
Rajiv told India Today, “It’s all thanks to Kapil that I managed to do the show. The series team asked for my dates in June last year, which were already with him for our America tour. This is why I decided to say no but when Kapil got to know about it, he encouraged me to take up IC 814.
Recalling Kapil’s words, Rajiv shared, “He told me, ‘Tu series kar, hum show push kar denge (you do the series, we will push the show)’. And that’s how our show was postponed to July. I had already committed to him, so I would have rejected the show, but he pushed me, and I am thankful for that. This is what true friends do, isn’t it?”
Rajiv further revealed Kapil and Archana Puran Singh loved IC 814 and congratulated him. “Archana ji (Archana Puran Singh) was so happy, saying that my credit was long due. And when she watched the show she also posted a long note about us. I remember Kapil also watched the show late at night after a shoot and immediately messaged Anubhav sir. He called me the first thing the next morning and he sounded so happy and proud. I think this makes me so much happier,” he added.
