Actor Sunil Grover has played diverse characters on television and in films but way before the actor made it, he faced his share of struggles. In a recent interview, the actor recalled the time when he was replaced from a show within three days. He wasn't even informed by the makers that they were replacing him. Recalling the incident, Sunil told ETimes, "Ek show tha jisme main replace ho gaya tha 3 din mein hi aur mujhe bataya bhi nahi tha. Kisi aur se pata chala tha mujhe. I had immense self doubt, mujhe ni lagta tha ki main dobara ja paunga ya un logo ke saath shooting kar paunga. Toh main ek shell mein chala gaya tha almost one month ke liye. Then I thought may be I will not pursue it but then I don't know if it was some kind of stubbornness which made me say, 'chal koi nahi.ek baar aur try karte hai'. (There was a show in which I got replaced within 3 days and they didn't even tell me. I got to know through someone else. I didn't feel that I could ever go back and work with the same people. I had gone in a shell for almost a month and I thought I will never pursue this. I don't know what kind of stubbornness made me want to try again.)" When reminded about his success with a huge Instagram following of over 6 million fans, Sunil quickly said, "Main sabse request karta hun ki please don't judge yourself from kitne followers, kitne comments hain. Ye aapki self worth decide karega. Please don't do that. Maine kayi logo ko depression mein jaate hue dekha hai iss wajeh se. (I want to request everyone to never judge themselves based on the number of followers. Only your self worth can decide that. I have seen many people go into depression because of that.)" Sunil has been part of several shows and films over the years, but he reached the masses with the portrayal of the character Gutthi and Dr Mashoor Gulati in comedy shows Comedy Nights With Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show.
