It seems all is not well on The Kapil Sharma Show. Earlier this week, passengers on a flight from Australia to India were horrified to hear and see an inebriated Kapil Sharma loudly abusing and assaulting his Comedy Nights colleague, Sunil Grover.
According to members of the Comedy Nights team, tension between the two has been brewing for quite some time now. Sunil’s ‘Gutthi’ act in Comedy Nights with Kapil and his ‘Rinku Bhabhi’ and ‘Dr Mashoor Gulati’ acts in The Kapil Sharma Show are as popular as Kapil’s own comic acts, if not more.
Kapil took every opportunity he got to remind Sunil that he would have been nowhere if Kapil had not given him a platform. But after this drunken outburst, when Kapil allegedly humiliated and assaulted Sunil Grover in full public view, Sunil has decided to quit the show.
Sources from the show say, “Sunil is not coming back on The Kapil Sharma Show. He had already recorded episodes for this weekend. Ab bahut ho gaya. Agar Kapil ka yehi rawaiya raha toh aur log bhi nikal jayenge (Enough is enough. If Kapil continues in this vein, others will also quit).”
Sources add that Kapil’s behaviour in recent months has gone from bad to worse. According to them, his excessive drinking is the source of his ill temper and boorish behaviour.

“Kapil is not a bad soul, but once he downs a few pegs, he forgets who he is and starts telling everyone around him how insignificant they are as compared to him,” says a source.Meanwhile, Sunil Grover was in Chandigarh for a show and refused to comment on the matter.
