While many often compare Thakur’s career trajectory with that of his longtime friend Kapil Sharma, Rajiv Thakur believes that success cannot be measured simply by fame or visibility. In a revealing conversation with one of the media houses, Thakur stated that his career has always been driven by his genuine talent and not by the shadow of others. “If I didn’t have talent, I wouldn’t have come this far,” he shared, emphasizing that talent and hard work always lead the way, not comparisons or shortcuts.

He also highlighted how Kapil’s rise to fame didn’t diminish his own path. Despite not being a permanent member of The Kapil Sharma Show, Rajiv remains focused on his own projects, continuing to make a name for himself in comedy and entertainment. Drawing from the example of Uday Chopra, Rajiv explained that having resources, fame, or a powerful last name is not enough to guarantee success in the entertainment world. “It’s not that Uday didn’t have talent, but his skills were suited to something else,” Thakur pointed out.

This perspective is especially insightful for young aspiring actors or comedians who might be entering the industry with high expectations based on their family name or connections. Rajiv said that he believes that recognizing one’s true calling and not stubbornly clinging to an unsuitable field is crucial and said, “What if Aditya Chopra had insisted on becoming an actor? He would have failed. He was born to be a producer and director.”
