Sunil Grover addresses past feud with Kapil Sharma

Comedian Sunil Grover has broken his silence on his long-standing feud with fellow comedian Kapil Sharma, labelling it as nothing more than a "publicity stunt."

The announcement comes ahead of the eagerly anticipated debut of "The Great Indian Kapil Show" on Netflix, where Grover and Sharma will reunite after a seven-year break.

Speaking at a press conference preceding the show's premiere, Grover playfully dismissed their past discord, suggesting it was a premeditated ploy orchestrated for publicity, coinciding with Netflix's entry into the Indian market.

"We were on a flight when we heard about Netflix coming to India. So, we thought, let's create a publicity stunt," Grover mentioned, shedding light on the alleged fabrication of their rift.
