Hours after comedian/actor Kapil Sharma set the internet ablaze by introducing his girlfriend Ginni, and then saying that he would marry her within a year, it seems like he isn’t done just yet.
Reports are doing the rounds online that Sharma physically assaulted fellow comedian, and cast mate of The Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil Grover, on a flight, leaving many disheartened.
The cast of the popular comedy show was returning from Australia after a performance tour when an altercation between Sharma (who is said to have been drunk) and his crew broke out.
While Sunil, kept quite, Kapil did not stop there. He went on and physically assaulted Sunil. It was only when the cabin crew intervened that Kapil could be brought under control. Sunil, in fact apologised to everyone for the drunken behaviour of his friend Kapil.
Neither Kapil, nor Sunil have commented on the incident yet.
An eyewitness on the flight told The Quint: “Without any provocation, Kapil pounced on Sunil Grover. We saw Kapil loudly abusing Sunil.
Sunil kept quiet, probably thinking that Kapil would calm down after the outburst. But Kapil got more aggressive. His loud abuses could be heard right across the flight cabin.He then physically assaulted Sunil. That’s when all hell broke loose.
The flight attendants rushed to the spot.They wanted to handcuff Kapil in order to restrain him. To his credit Sunil stood by his unruly colleague and asked the cabin crew to overlook his drunken behaviour.
The two popular comedians have history and have known each other for a long time now. Both them began their successful collaboration with the hit show Comedy Nights With Kapil. In between, it was thought that the two had a spat because of which Sunil eventually walked out of the show, only to return later. Sunil’s onscreen character of Gutthi on the show became a household name as well.
Later, when Kapil locked horns with television channel Colors, Sunil was one of the few who supported Kapil and stayed on the side of his friend. Also, when Kapil shifted his show to Sony channel, currently broadcast as The Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil remained as one of the main actors.
