This Comedian Might Replace Sunil Grover On The Kapil Sharma Show

Now that Sunil Grover has made up his mind to move on from TKSS, Kapil's hunt for a suitable replacement for the ace comedian has begun. And if reports are to be believed, he seems to have zeroed down on none other than his old friend Raju Srivastava, who appeared on his show, after Kapil made an SOS call to him.

The Laughter Challenge comedian has confirmed being approached by Kapil.

"Talks are on, but things are yet to be finalised I don't want to rush into it, but it's a great opportunity. Sharing the stage with Kapil is always fun," he told DNA.

Kapil is in news over assaulting Sunil Grover in a flight, while returning from Melbourne, and abusing Chandan Prabhakar, Ali Asgar, and Kiku Sharda. Kapil reportedly not only hurled abuses at his fellow comedians but also a shoe at them, as they ate before him.

He has been getting a severe backlash from all quarters post the incident and is said to have broken down several times on the sets of his show. While Sunil, Chandan, Ali, Sugandha have boycotted him, Sumona and Kiku are still on his side.

Meanwhile, the triumvirate of the Laughter Challenge fame--Sunil Pal, Raju Srivastava and Ahsaan Qureshi saved his day by shooting for an episode that aired on Sunday.
