In a recent chat with Maniesh Paul for his podcast, Krushna Abhishek was asked how comedians perform in front of thousands of audiences when they are not having a good day. To this, Krushna recalled one of the toughest phases of his life, when he had performed on the sets of Comedy Nights Bachao back in 2016, ten days after his dearest father, Atmaprakash Sharma’s demise. He said that he had even done comedy shows when his father was battling cancer in the hospital. He shared:
“Unka Chautha ho gaya tha. (Four days had passed since his death). The channel guys came to me and said ‘We are in a bind, we can’t do anything, we have Katrina Kaif’s dates’. I told them ‘Mere father ki tehrvi abhi hui nahi hai toh main toh kaise karunga? Perform toh main kar hi nahi paunga.’ (My father’s tehrvi hasn’t happened yet, how will I perform? I will not be able to perform).”
Further in the interview, Krushna shared that his father was a firm believer in Lord Krishna’s ideals. Hence, his daddy had always taught him not to stop, no matter what. Krushna can be quoted as saying:
“Mere father mujhe hamesha bolte the ki karam karte raho, voh Krishna bhakt the, tabhi mera naam unhone Krushna rakha. (My father always told me, keep doing what you are doing, he was a devotee of Lord Krishna, that’s why he named me Krushna). Show must go on, unka voh vala hisab tha, chahe kuch bhi ho jaye, tu kaam karte rehna aur chalte rehna toh mere dimag mein voh baat thi toh main gaya uss din. (He believed that the show must go on, no matter what happens and I was thinking of the same that day, so I went that day).”

Ki yaar iss bande ne itna tough time hone ke baad, father expire ho gaye hain, tehrvi nahi hui hai , dasva din tha aur maine jaake sabko hasaya. Toh aise bhi kayi moments aa jate hain life ke andar.
