Since the news about Kapil Sharma physically assaulting and abusing Sunil Grover broke out, there have been speculations doing the rounds about Sunil quitting the show. But the actor-comedian is still in two minds about whether or not to leave the show.
Talking to media Sunil sounded hurt and unsure of himself as he said, “Please give me 2-4 days. I don’t want to comment on what’s happening. Let me figure out things and I will speak.” Meanwhile, Kapil is trying his best to make Sunil return to the show.
Meanwhile, reports on Wednesday suggested that co-actors Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar have also boycotted the show’s shoot for two days in a row now.
A Spotboye report said that Chandan and Ali did not show up for the shoot on Monday and Tuesday. Sunil has been missing from the scene too. “The lights are certainly dimming. We made SOS calls to Sunil Pal, Raju Shrivastav and Ahsaan Qureshi after the (infamous) flight-fight to raise a laugh, and thankfully they agreed,” it quoted a source as saying. The three comedians will only appear in one episode that will be shot on Wednesday evening.
The team of Taapsee Pannu’s Naam Shabana was on the sets. Chandan told the tabloid, ““Yes, I am not shooting with Kapil today. They called me but I refused. I told them that I am unavailable.”
Ali Asgar remained unavailable for comment but he was neither a part of the shoot with Naam Shabana team--Manoj Bajpayee and Taapsee Pannu nor did he shoot for the stand-up comedian's special episode. But to sustain the laughter metre of his show, Kapil invited his friends and colleagues Sunil Pal, Raju Shrivastava and Ahsaan Qureshi from his previous show Comedy Circus.
The only comedians to be found around Kapil on the sets were Kiku Sharda aka Palak and Rochelle Rao (who plays the nurse).
"I am not quitting the show. I am very much a part of it. I shot for it the last two days as well. But I cannot comment on others. Also, I wouldn't want to comment on the incident and anything else." He also informed about the schedule of the next shoot. "The date for the next shoot hasn't come yet. It is still being figured out," Kiku added.
Sumona Chakravarti who plays Sunil Grover's daughter in the show, says that it is her job to shoot and she is doing that. "I am going for the shoot, doing my job and that's it about it. I am not in a position to comment on anything else," said Sumona.
Sugandha Mishra was also not a part of the shoot of the show on Monday and Tuesday. But the comedian says that it has nothing to do with the reported fight between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover. Sugandha said, "I was very busy with my prior travel commitments, hence the dates didn't work out. I will definitely shoot with them if dates work out mutually."
Meanwhile, Kapil’s professional rival Krushna Abhishek has extended support to him saying that friends often fight and there is nothing unusual about it. It is interesting to note that Krushna, who is currently hosting Comedy Nights Bachao (a show that replaced Kapil’s Comedy Nights) had expressed interest in working with Kapil again.
