New Delhi:

Comedians Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover finally reunite for Netflix project Kapil’s great Indian show. Sunil Grover previously appeared in Kapil Sharma’s shows like Comedy nights with Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show. However, Sunil Grover quit the show following an alleged incident in which Kapil Sharma allegedly manhandled him during a flight from Melbourne in 2017. The two have not worked together since. On Tuesday, Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover were together at the Netflix event titled ‘Next on Netflix: Blockbuster Entertainment Ka Next Level’.

Here is a summary of the journey from Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover’s conflict to reconciliation:

1. Fight on the flight and Sunil’s exit from the show.

In March 2017, during a flight back from Melbourne, Australia to India, Kapil Sharma had allegedly verbally abused Sunil Grover. After this incident, Sunil decided not to return to The Kapil Sharma Show. Later, other co-stars like Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar also left the show. However, Chandan decided to return to the show after a few weeks.

In a 2017 interview with Bollywood HungamaKapil Sharma spoke about the flight incident. He had said: “I admit there was a problem. And I have paid a high price for it. But what was reported was wildly exaggerated and almost entirely made up. It was said that I asked to be served food first on the flight and that I became angry and I threw a shoe at Sunil. All these stories of shoe throwing and tantrums started in one section of the digital media.”

2. Kapil Sharma’s apology

After Sunil Grover stopped appearing on the show, Kapil Sharma publicly apologized on X (previously known as Twitter). The star wrote: “Paji Sunil Grover, I am sorry if I hurt you unintentionally. You know very well how much I love you. I’m upset too. love and greetings always :)”

After that, Kapil also posted a detailed note on Facebook. He wrote: “Hello… good morning friends… I was celebrating my best moment and suddenly I heard a news about me and Sunil Paji fighting… first of all see where it comes from… what are the intentions behind this …If I fought with him on the flight, who saw it and informed you? Is he trustworthy? Some people enjoy this kind of thing…we eat together…we travel together…I meet my brother once a year…and spend almost every day with my team…especially Sunil…I I love… I respect him. He… yes, I had an argument with him, but aren’t we normal people? I shouted at him for the first time in 5 years… itna to chalta hai bhai. We’ll sit down and talk about where the problem is. I love him as an artist and as a human being. He is like my older brother. Why so much negativity all the time? I respect our media. other serious issues that we must focus on. Is Sunil’s issue so important in relation to the security of my country? We spend a lot of time together instead of our families…and sometimes it happens in the family…it is our family matter…we will sort this out…zyada maze mat liya karoo.”

3. Sunil Grover’s response to Kapil Sharma’s apology

While responding to Kapil Sharma’s apology, Sunil Grover shared a note about X. He said, “Bha ji! Yes, you hurt me deeply. Working with you has been a learning experience. Just a piece of advice: start respecting human beings above animals as well. Not everyone is as successful as you. Not everyone is as talented as you. But if everyone is talented like you, who will value you? So, have some gratitude for your existence. And also, if someone is correcting you, don’t abuse that person.”

“Refrain from using foul language in front of women who have nothing to do with the stardom you have, they just happen to travel with you. Thank you for making me realize that it was your program and that you have the power to expel anyone, at any time. You are the most resourceful and the best in your field. But don’t act like a “God.” Take care of yourself. I wish you much more success and fame,” added Sunil Grover.

He said: “When you move with such a big team, you have to manage a lot of things and I am very bad at that, I will say that. Touchwood, we have been working together for many years and I would like to repeat it once again, I didn’t actually fight with Sunil Grover at all. It didn’t happen.”

Kapil went on to explain that he had an altercation with Chandan Prabhakar. He explained: “When we arrived in Australia, from the first day, my mood was really bad. I was juggling so many things, I was filming the show and other things. During that time, the artist of my film died. I was very nervous .and it became very negative. I wanted to cancel the Australian show but I couldn’t and before the show, a girl came to me complaining about a boy who happens to be my childhood friend Chandan. I scolded him. I had to perform for one. Hours and a half and that girl and that artist boy had 10-minute periods. My whole thing was, ‘You’re bothering me with this when I have such a long performance ahead of me’. I’m a little impulsive. Chandan was missing for five days.” I wanted to meet him and apologize because I didn’t hear his side of the story. “I saw it an hour before the flight to Australia and I got lost again and used bad words again.”

6. Sunil Grover on not receiving Kapil Sharma’s call

Intezar kar Ke ab maine kuch aur sign kar liya kal. Aap logon ki duaon se ek achhe project Ke sath juda hoon. Jaldi aapke samne Aata hoon. (Brother, some others have asked me the same question. But I did not receive any call for this program. My phone number is the same. After waiting, I signed up for something else yesterday.
