From Gutthi To Acclaimed Actor
Sunil Grover’s journey is as layered as his performances. Born in Haryana’s Mandi Dabwali, he trained in theatre at Punjab University and worked closely with satirist Jaspal Bhatti before entering mainstream entertainment. After early struggles in Mumbai, Grover found national fame in 2013 with Gutthi on Comedy Nights with Kapil, followed by the hugely popular Dr Mashoor Gulati on The Kapil Sharma Show. Characters like Rinku Devi, Mr Khurana and Piddu further cemented his popularity.
Beyond Laughter: Films And OTT Success
Over the years, Grover expanded his repertoire with films such as Ghajini, Gabbar Is Back, Bharat, Baaghi and Jawan. His shift to OTT proved pivotal, earning acclaim for darker roles in Tandav and Sunflower. His performance as Sonu Singh in Sunflower won him a Filmfare OTT Award, reshaping his image from comedian to serious actor.
Kapil vs Sunil: Popularity Debate Resurfaces
Grover’s viral Aamir Khan act has once again triggered comparisons with Kapil Sharma. While Kapil dominates in scale, boasting around 30 million Instagram followers, strong TRPs and a Netflix show with global reach. Grover thrives on performance-driven acclaim. With roughly 7 million followers, he is often credited as the artist who elevates episodes through sheer skill, even as Kapil remains the face of India’s biggest comedy franchise.
