Sunil Grover speaks out on 7-year feud with Kapil Sharma, jokingly labels it a ‘publicity stunt’

Sunil Grover and Kapil Sharma, who are reuniting after seven years for ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show,’ playfully addressed their past feud at a recent press conference.

Sunil Grover joked that the fight was pre-planned during a flight when they heard about Netflix's arrival in India. He also humorously mentioned Netflix India's involvement in the idea.

‘We were seated on the flight and we learnt that Netflix was coming to India. So, kuch aisa ho ke (acha) publicity stunt ho,’ Sunil said.

Kapil stated that Sunil's busy schedule with multiple projects made their reunion difficult.

Sunil then said that his comeback felt like homecoming as he enjoyed working with Kapil and his team.

About mid-air flight

Sunil Grover rose to fame with his iconic portrayals of fictional characters Gutthi and Dr. Mashoor Gulati on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. However, the actor-comedian surprised everyone with his departure from the show following a fallout with Kapil Sharma. Reports surfaced in October 2017, suggesting that during a flight back to Mumbai from Australia, where they had completed a show, Kapil Sharma, allegedly under the influence, had a confrontation with Sunil Grover, leading to Sunil's decision to quit the show.
