Sunil Grover: I am more popular than Kapil and that’s an excellent touch

If any controversy can match up to the Kangana-Hrithik spat or even travel with it, it is the Kapil Sharma-Sunil Grover fallout.

The comedians were on a flight back home from a show in Australia when an inebriated Kapil started yelling at Sunil Grover and the rest of the team for eating without him. He allegedly had his sandal on Grover and boasted of making his life history.

Watching over the incident, the producers of the show have reportedly decided against renewing Kapil’s contract (for a whopping 103 Cr).

Sunil, on the other hand, has written, heartfelt notes on Facebook urging Kapil not to act like ‘God’ and has admitted to enjoying the ‘tamasha’ revolving around it.

In an earlier interview with a leading daily, Grover had called himself a better actor and claimed to be more popular than the star comedian.

When inquired if any kind of competition was going on between the two, Sunil reportedly said, “You know what the most important affair is? That person is watching the show. As long as the TRP is up and audiences love us, none of us wants anything else. It was never Kapil vs Gutthi. It would never be. There’s no competition. We are a part of a single team and we need to cooperate and coordinate. But I cannot deny that I’m more popular than Kapil. And that is an excellent feeling. But yes, people are used to seeing all of us together. The formula works.”
