Comedy of errors? Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover and their on-and-off tiffs

Comedians Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover have shared a bittersweet
relationship — entertaining fans on screen and leaving them in splits with
their witty humour, while often engaging in spats off-screen. Reports suggest
that Sunil might be making a comeback on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ after having
left a few times before due to frequent war-of words with Kapil.

Here is an account of the comedy-duo’s tussles that made
headlines.

Sunil Grover
walked out of the show in 2017

Sunil, who had earned a reputation as ‘Gutthi’ on Kapil’s show ‘Comedy
Nights With Kapil,’ exited in 2017 when Kapil and the producers of the show reportedly
refused him a raise in salary. Neither of them gave any official statement,
however, he told The Times of India, “All I can say is, he (Sunil) should have
never left our show, we were all part of the success of our show. Sunil has
been around trying to find his bearings in the entertainment industry. He’s my
senior. I’ve the highest regard for his talents. And I am not the kind to feel
threatened or competitive about anyone.”

Sunil Grover makes a comeback 

Destiny had written something else for Sunil
as he soon returned to the show, unable to hold on to his fandom after leaving
the show. He assumed the role of Kapil’s father-in-law.

Kapil Sharma allegedly upset with Sunil Grover acting in films

In 2017, Sunil starred in Bollywood film
‘Coffee with D.’ Apparently, Kapil was hesitant in promoting the film on his
show and wasn’t very excited about Sunil doing films. Later, Sunil confirmed
that Kapil was not involved in the movie not being promoted on ‘The Kapil
Sharma Show.’

“Yes, the
promotion of Coffee With D on The Kapil Sharma Show is not happening. However,
Kapil did not refuse it. Anything of that sort did not happen. Kapil did not
say a No,” the comedian had said.

behaviour.
