Karan Kundrra will be seen making a comeback on Laughter Chefs season 2 in tonight’s (March 22) episode. While it was announced that he is replacing Abdu Rozik for the time being as the latter is taking a break for Ramadan, it seems Kundrra will be in the show till the end of the ongoing season. The actor told India Forums that he is here to stay.
Speaking to India Forums, Karan Kundrra confirmed that he is not making a cameo on Laughter Chefs: Entertainment Unlimited season 2, rather it’s a permanent stint. In his words, “I am not here for a cameo, that is for sure. Because the way the show is going, humko aisa thodi bataya hai ke show khatam ho jayega. No, no, I am back for good. I am sure. Because all my travel is done, my dates are aligned.”
The actor who was seen in Laughter Chefs season 1 as Aly Goni’s partner added that it was never a choice of yes or no; it was just a choice of when.
