Actor-comedian Kiku Sharda was in New Delhi on November 10 to promote a radio jockey competition for children, ahead of Children’s Day (November 14).

Sharda, popular for his avatar as Palak on the TV show Comedy Nights With Kapil, is the celebrity judge for Big FM’s BIG Junior RJ talent hunt show.

The second season of the hunt started on November 2 to identify kids between the age of six and 14 years who have the potential to become radio jockeys.

Sharda, who has two sons with wife Priyanka, said such events can help the younger generation to enhance their will power and showcase their talent. “I think it’s a fantastic effort. They are providing a platform to the younger generation to enhance their confidence and will power.

“Being a father myself, I think the current generation is smarter and sharper. If kids are getting such a platform during their early years to explore their talent, it’s a great job,” Sharda said.

The 39-year-old was also seen dancing with the children in his trademark style from Comedy Nights... During the event, Sharda also interacted with the children and attempted arm-wrestling.

The winner of the talent hunt show, to be announced on November 20, will get a chance to join Sharda in his TV show Akbar Birbal.
