Sunil Grover On Nepotism: ‘I was lucky that I did not face any nepotism, but I do feel sad for those who have.’
Popular TV actor and comedian Sunil Grover, who rose to fame with his role in The Kapil Sharma Show and Comedy Nights With Kapil, recently opened up about the ongoing debate of nepotism in Bollywood. Talking about his experience, he told E Times, “When I came to Mumbai, I had no support system in this city. I was lucky that I did not face any nepotism, but I do feel sad for those who have faced it. I also believe that talent finds a way sooner or later. Television has given me a lot of respect, fame and love. In fact, I feel that the TV industry in India has given chances to lakhs and lakhs of people and it is the best medium for newcomers to showcase their talent.”
Sunil told the portal that he is not playing the role of his popular character Gutthi anytime soon as he quoted, “I am not reprising Gutthi. If Kapil and I are destined to work with each other again, we will. But, as of now, there are no such plans. Also, it is common for people to ask me something on Kapil, whenever I am doing a new show. We do occasionally talk to each other. A lot of time has passed since I exited his show, and time changes many things. “
Sunil Grover also opened about pay cuts due to the current COVID-19 situation and stated, “I feel that in the current scenario, we need to accept a pay cut; what matters is going out and working. We should let others also earn their daily bread. I may sound preachy, but the current situation is compelling all of us to contribute to society in our own way. I also plan to donate my earnings from the show.”
