Sunil Grover, Kapil Sharma get into ugly Twitter fight

We all know what happened to Indian TV’s favourite stand up comedian, Kapil Sharma, when he fought with fellow comedian Sunil Grover on a flight last year. Many artists left his programme, The Kapil Sharma Show, and ultimately it was taken off air due to bad ratings and Kapil’s ill health. Now, Kapil is back with a new show. He’s assembled most of his old friends except Sunil.

A twist in the tale came on Saturday when Grover tweeted that he had not been approached for the show. Responding to a fan, he wrote, “Bhai aap jaise kuch aur log bhi mujhse same poochte hain. Lekin mujhe iss show ke liye KOI call nahin aaya. Mera phone number bhi same hai. 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.” Kapil, too, took to Twitter and clarified his stand. “Paji I called u more then 100 times n came to ur house to meet u twice .. every time u were out for some show n all .. pls don’t spread rumors that I didn’t call u. (sic)” Kapil also said, “Yes .. he is lying .. I called him 100 times n sent my people to his home .. even I went to his home to meet him for the show .. but now I will not let anybody take any advantage on my name .. enough is enough. (sic)”

He is not happy with Sunil for taking it to social media. Kapil wrote, “Ab saari baat Twitter pe hogi.. nothing personal .. bahut ho gya.” Grover responded to Kapil’s allegation with a long post on Twitter. He said, “Main iss show ki baat kar raha hoon aur aap purana kissa ro rahe hain.” Grover also wrote, “Kidney 2 aur liver 1 hee hai. Take care of your health. (sic)”
