Sunil Grover (born 3 August 1977) is an Indian actor and stand up comedian. He came into limelight for his portrayal as Gutthi on Comedy Nights with Kapil but gained popularity for playing the role of Dr Mashoor Gulati on The Kapil Sharma Show. Grover was also seen in Bollywood film Bharat.[4]

Early life and family background

Sunil Grover was born on 3 August 1977 in Mandi Dabwali, Haryana. He received Master's Degree in Theatre from Panjab University Chandigarh. He is married to Aarti and has a son Mohan.[1][2][3]

Acting career

Grover was discovered during his college days by the late satirist and comedian Jaspal Bhatti.[5] He has also acted in India's first silent comedy show, SAB TV's Gutur Gu in the initial 26 episodes.

He gained a lot of popularity from the comedy show Comedy Nights with Kapil and became well known for his comical characters like Gutthi, Rinku Bhabi and Dr. Mashoor Gulati.[6][7] But after having a controversial fight with his co-actor Kapil Sharma, Sunil left the show.[8][9]

Soon after leaving Kapil's show, Grover returned to television with Star Plus's show Kanpur Wale Khuranas with Aparshakti Khurana as the host. The plot of the show was similar to that of The Kapil Sharma Show, but it didn't last long and soon went off air.[10][11]

Sunil debuted in the Punjab film industry, with Vaisakhi List in 2016 and the same year he portrayed Shraddha Kapoor's father in Baaghi.
