Actor-comedian Krushna Abhishek, who collaborated with Kapil Sharma, once his rival, for his new show, recently told DNA that their personal equation has always been good. "I didn't have any personal rivalry with him. Mera personal equation Kapil ke saath kabhi kharab nahi tha. We have always been respectful of each other," he said. Kapil returned to television after a break of nine months with the new season of The Kapil Sharma Show. "I didn't have any personal rivalry with him. Whatever rivalry we had was in connection with the ratings of our shows. Both of us wanted our shows to be the best and rank high on the charts," Krushna Abhishek told DNA.
Apart from Krushna, Kapil also roped in colleague Bharti Singh for the show. The trio earlier worked together in Comedy Circus.
