He dodged the bullet thrice but couldn’t escape the fourth time. Baddie Akashdeep Sehgal and his Pakistani partner Pervez Siddiqui have finally been eliminated from Sony’s Comedy Circus 2.

A reliable source informs, “For four consecutive weeks, Akashdeep and Pervez found themselves in the bottom two. In the first week, they managed to beat Sucheta and Salim Afridi. A week later, a tie between them and Kamya-Rajiv, saw them survive again. In the third week, Sayantani Ghosh was disqualified after her partner Kuldeep Dubey failed to turn up. That saved the day again for Akashdeep and Pervez.
However, their luck ran out as they weren’t able to beat Shailesh Lodha and Apara Mehta in the fourth week.”

Despite repeated attempts, Akashdeep remained unavailable for comment. Akashdeep’s elimination episode will be broadcasted on 24th May.

Another interesting development in the show is that Shekhar Suman will now be a permanent member of the jury panel. Earlier, the show was to have a rotating third judge. Shekhar made his first appearance last week and from here on we will see him till the end. An elated Vipul Shah, producer of the show says, “We can now confirm that Shekharji will be a permanent fixture on our show. We are honoured to have him on board. He’s a very intellectual man and a brilliant judge too. He’s never one to mince words.”
