Krishna Bharadwaj talking about his offscreen bond with Kunal and Nikkhil on Sony SAB’s Tenali Rama
“We three are called “The Fun Musketeers” of the show,” says Krishna Bharadwaj talking about his offscreen bond with Kunal and Nikkhil on Sony SAB’s Tenali Rama

Sony SAB’s Tenali Rama continues to keep audiences hooked with its exciting mystery arc. While the show still thrives on wisdom and wit, it also takes viewers on an investigative journey — with Tenali Rama (Krishna Bharadwaj), Laxmanappa (Kunal Karan Kapoor), and the sharp Kotwal (Nikkhil Arya) solving complex cases using old-school intelligence and deduction.
But step behind the camera, and you’ll find a completely different kind of scene filled with endless laughter, running jokes, and a trio that’s become the heart of all the fun on set. This trio has become the show’s Fun Musketeer balancing intense sleuthing on screen with complete masti off it. Whether it's pulling harmless pranks, sharing memes, or laughing at their own bloopers, their camaraderie sets the tone for a vibrant, collaborative shoot environment.
Krishna Bharadwaj opens up about their off-screen bond, saying, “Kunal & I are an absolute riot on set—like two mischievous kids always laughing, joking, and playfully teasing those around us. Our favourite target is Nikkhil Arya, who, despite being endlessly confused by our bursts of laughter, takes it all in good spirit. When we three come together, our off-screen chemistry is so infectious that we have rightly earned the nickname “The Fun Musketeers” of the show.”
