Sunil Grover says Kapil Sharma was in touch with him during their time apart, jokes their fight was a ‘publicity stunt’ for new show

When asked further about their patch-up, Sunil Grover, with a rather straight face, just said, “This was a publicity stunt for six years for this show.”

In an earlier chat with indianexpress.com, Sunil had revealed that he would get “disturbed” about it earlier but not anymore. “Initially, I would get disturbed, but not anymore. I know the truth so what someone says or understands, is their problem, not mine. Those who point fingers, what is their credibility? If I need to answer something, I will do so, but usually there is no need for an explanation. They don’t have a full understanding of the matter, no facts, they are just saying something because it’s their job. Writing negative things grabs more attention. They will all understand eventually,” he said.

In 2017, Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover got in a fight during their flight from Australia to India. It was alleged that Kapil was under the influence during the altercation and hit Sunil. Soon after, Sunil cut ties with Kapil and quit The Kapil Sharma Show. They will now be seen together on The Great Indian Kapil Show.
