Sunil Pal recalls ‘throwing up’ looking at Sunil Grover dressed as a woman on Kapil Sharma’s show: ‘Shouldn’t do that, makes me feel icky’ | Bollywood News

Comedian Sunil Pal is known for his controversial opinions and blunt statements. In a recent interview, Sunil opened up about his peers in the comedy circuit – Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover. While praising the former for evolving with time, he dissed Grover’s character as a woman on Kapil’s show.
During a podcast with Siddharth Kannan, Pal was asked about Indian comedians who have faded away, and the ones who still stand strong in the industry. “It has been 21 years. It is human tendency that we always want change. One has to accept change with time, otherwise you can get stuck in a specific circle and become limited. Both Naveen Prabhakar and Ahsaan Qureshi became a target of this. They didn’t change themselves, that’s what I feel,” he shared.

The comedian added, “In the last 40 years, the great Johny Lever is the only one who lived his era and inspired people to change. I am his devotee and fan. Besides him, I saw a strong force in Kapil Sharma. He also changed himself, and even Sunil Grover. In the last 20 years, there are hardly 5 people who I have seen changing. Otherwise, people are still doing market jokes, old arte mimicry, and not trying anything new.”
Sunil Pal also recalled “throwing up” while watching Sunil Grover perform in a cross-dressed role. “Both of us have worked a lot together in the early days of our career. His acting as a woman made me uncomfortable. So much so that I once threw up while eating, just looking at him. Coming in a woman’s get up, it makes me feel icky, once shouldn’t do that, I feel so. Otherwise, I am a fan of his work. People who do vulgarity and abuse are earning crores, and I also had this option earlier,” he concluded.
For the unversed, Sunil Grover is famous for his comedy sketches as female characters, most notably Gutthi and Rinku Bhabhi, on Kapil Sharma’s show.
