Comedian Sunil Grover he’s back to have fun. In a new promo for India’s Laughter Champion, Grover, who has not been on screen for quite some time, makes a surprise appearance as Dr Mashoor Gulati. The show also marks the comeback of Shekhar Suman joined by Archana Puran Singh. The duo has previously shared the stage for shows like Comedy Circus and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. The show is hosted by Rochelle Rao.
In the new promo, Sunil Grover is greeted with thunderous applause and pretends to exchange flirtatious banter with Archana, asking to see “her smile up close”. “Aur paas nahin, main barbaad ho jaaonga (Not too close, then I’ll be destroyed.) In one segment of the clip, he even plays blind buff with the show’s participants. He also exchanges a hug and kiss with Shekar Suman and gets a quick kiss from Archana Puran Singh. Grover played the character of Dr Mashoor Gulati in the Kapil Sharma-fronted Kapil Sharma Show. He walked out of the show after an argument with Kapil. Since then, they have been on cordial terms but have not worked together.
Excited to see him back, fans commented on the video, “Welcome Mr. Sunil, nice to see you on the dance floor.” Another added, “The most emotional moment for all the viewers who are eagerly waiting for This Made man.” Others asked him to returned to The Kapil Sharma Show. After Grover he spat infamously with Kapil Sharma on the plane, the duo stopped working together. However, after Grover’s recent heart surgery in January this year, Kapil Sharma reached out to him.
On the work front, despite being absent from the comedy scene, Sunil was last seen in Salman Khan’s Bharat, Pataakha, Tandav with Saif Ali Khan, Sunflower and others.
