Kapil Sharma vs Sunil Grover: Was it an April Fool prank? Everything you should know about the controversy

The Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover spat is one of the most discussed topic these days with speculations doing rounds about what lies ahead for The Kapil Sharma Show and the two actors. If reports are to be believed Sunil aka Dr Mashoor Gulati will continue to be a part of the show. With the latest report, it might be conjectured that the recent spat may well be an April Fool prank.

First an ugly spat in a flight between Kapil and Sunil was reported. Then there were reports that Sunil will be quitting the show following the tussle and will be replaced by Raju Srivastav. Also, Sunil Grover was missing from the recent episode, which added more fuel to the fire.

But interestingly, latest reports suggest that some source from the show says Raju Srivastav, Ehsaan Qureshi and Sunil Pal are not part of the show but they appeared in a special episode (as reported by ANI). 

‘Who will replace Sunil Grover’ has been the talk of the town ever since the alleged fight between the two broke up. And now, reports are quoting a source as saying that “Sunil Grover and others will still be a part of the show, we’ll have to see when they are joining, shooting for the next episode.”

Now, with the latest report about Sunil Grover making a re-entry in the show might raise eyebrows. Even after such an ugly spat in which Kapil allegedly abused Sunil, Ali Asgar, and Chandan Prabhakar both physically and verbally, why all these comedy stars are reportedly willing to continue to be a part of it? Is team Kapil planning to launch a new show? Is all this reported tussle an April Fool prank? Well, we can only wait and watch.

What all happened on the flight between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover?

It all started when the entire crew of the Kapil Sharma Show was on board a flight from Melbourne to India. Kapil was reportedly drunk during the flight and went out of control. A person on the flight shared details with Hindustan Times about a brawl. Kapil reportedly abused all the crew members for having meals before him. “Jab Maine Khana Shuru Nahi Kiya to Tum Logo Ne Kaise Le Liya Khana?”

Humiliated with the behaviour of Kapil, they left their food plates half finished. But it did not end over here. When Sunil tried to calm him down, Kapil got more furious and said, “Tum logon ko maine banaya hai. Sabka career khatam kar dunga. Tum TV waale kya samajhte ho? Sabko nikaal dunga main.”

Kapil even taunted Sunil saying he had earlier left his show on Colors for a movie but the film turned out to be a big flop and he had no option than returning to Kapil’s show in order to save his career.

The brawl took an ugly turn when Kapil hurled a shoe at Sunil and started abusing him and other members saying he (Kapil) is the only real Mard in the show as all others dress like women.

Sunil Grover replies to Kapil Sharma’s tweet:

“Bha Ji! Yes, You hurt me deeply. We with you has been a learning experience. Just one advice start respecting human beings also apart from animals. All are not as successful as you are. All are not as talented as you are.

But if they all are talented like you, who will value you. So, have some gratitude towards their existence. And also, If someone is correcting you, don’t abuse that person. Refrain from using foul language In front of women who had nothing to do with the stardom you carry, they are by chance just traveling with you.
