He stated that he has been "mini heart attacks." "When we started our show, which was based on the concept of a roast, people told me that it would be a flop. But today, it is one of the most popular shows on TV. Initially, it was tough, but not anymore. It is the same with the new show. After performing on one hit show, I will have to prove myself all over again [in the new show]. I am nervous about the reaction of the audience. Some people have said that I will fail. But I think the audience's memory is short, and they will accept Bharti and me eventually. People just want to be entertained. And once they get used to us, things will get better," Krushna said.
The comedian was also asked if had a chance to speak to Kapil after he parted ways with Colors. He revealed the he doesn't know what he would say to him. He was shocked to learn that he would replace Kapil on his show. He added that he is a fan of Kapil, but he is "not competing with him" neither he is scared of him.
"I am an actor, while Kapil is more of a stand-up comedian, and I don't want to be a stand-up comedian like him."
He recalled that things changed between him and Kapil after he did not accept the offer to join "Comedy Nights with Kapil."
"We respect each other. But we are not friends. We spoke on New Year's Eve. He knew that I was replacing him, but we didn't talk about the show."
