Kiku Sharda opens up about facing trolls and fat shaming with Prisha Dhatwalia from 'Meri Bhavya Life'; says 'For the longest time, I was the funny overweight guy and that label felt like my identity'
Comedy powerhouse Kiku Sharda is stepping into the spotlight as a champion for body positivity on television's newest offering ' Meri Bhavya Life '. Known for making the nation laugh, Kiku gets candid about the emotional weight behind the punchlines—and he does it with unflinching honesty. Kiku has carved out a legacy of laughter in an industry obsessed with six-packs and size-zero frames. But behind the applause lay years of silent struggles and societal labels that tried to shrink his worth to a single dimension. Now, through a conversation with Prisha Dhatwalia starring in the said show, he opens up about how he reclaimed the narrative, reminding everyone that humour, heart, and confidence aren't measured on a weighing scale. Kiku Sharda says, 'Meri Bhavya Life is walking the talk when it comes to challenging the ingrained biases about size, appearance, and worth.

For the longest time, I was the 'funny overweight guy' and that label felt like my identity. People loved me, but always with an asterisk. 'He's gifted but… he should lose weight.' The lesson that laughter doesn't come in a size, and neither does confidence came to me gradually. When you're a plus-size individual, there's a lot to prove in the showbiz that endorses shedding kilos. While that sentiment didn't hurt, it made me hyper aware of the narrow lens with which society sees the people of my size. And then came the trolls , the taunts, the memes, the unsolicited advice on social media. I had to learn how to laugh with the world without letting it laugh at me. I hope with Meri Bhavya Life, they realise that self-worth isn't measured in kilos. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Download Chrome Symptomdepot Undo It's about what you bring to the table, your vibe, your heart, your hustle. I'm proud to be joining forces with a show that's not trying to 'fix' plus-size people, but instead wants to positively change the perspective that equates fat with failure. That's a story worth telling.' 'Meri Bhavya Life' revolves around Bhavya (Prisha Dhatwalia), a brilliant architect, gold medallist, and a plus-sized woman who's abandoned at the mandap by a man more interested in her father's stature than her soul. But she isn't one to break — she rebuilds, rising with talent, grace, and unshakable self-belief. Her polar opposite Rishank (Karan Vohra), a fitness fanatic and praise-chaser, waltzes into her life, becoming her unexpected challenge.
