Co-Actor Upasana Singh Reveals Sunil Grover's Past Struggles
A former co-star named Upasana Singh shared that a famous comedian, Sunil Grover, was very sad and even went to the hospital for depression before he became famous on a show with Kapil Sharma.
When he first started on the show, some people in charge thought he should be fired because he spoke a little too slowly, and they worried he didn't fit in with the other funny people.
But Upasana told them he was a great actor and they should keep him.
Later, Sunil Grover became very popular for his characters on the show.
However, he stopped working with Kapil Sharma after an argument on a plane in 2017.
They later apologized to each other and have since worked together again on a new show.
Upasana Singh revealed that Sunil Grover was hospitalized for depression before joining Kapil Sharma's show.
Early in his career on Kapil Sharma's show, creative executives wanted to fire Sunil Grover.
The reason for wanting to fire Sunil was his slower speaking pace, which they felt did not match the cast.
Upasana Singh advocated for Sunil, telling the team he was a good actor and should be kept.
Sunil Grover left Kapil Sharma's show in 2017 after an alleged feud and has since reconciled and worked with him again.
