Vegetarian by habit and identifying with Hinduism, Sharda grew up with an interest in performing that he pursued alongside his formal education.

He gained widespread audience attention with the comic role of Constable Mulayam Singh Gulgule on SAB TV’s F.I.R in 2006. His association with Kapil Sharma’s comedy shows brought him national recognition; in 2013 he became especially well known for playing the character Palak on Comedy Nights with Kapil and later performed a range of recurring comic personas such as Bachcha Yadav, Bumper and Lachha across different seasons of The Kapil Sharma Show.

In 2023 he shared posts about the passing of both of his parents within months of each other; his father Amarnath Sharda had been associated with SMG Securities Limited in Mumbai. He is one of three brothers; his siblings include Sid Sharda and Sudarshan Sharda.
