The whole quarrel between Sunil Grover and Kapil Sharma began in March 2017 and followed by the latest one was on the weekend where everyone saw another war of words between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover on Twitter.

On March 16, Sunil, in a reply on Twitter to a fan who asked him to return to Kapil’s new show, said he never received a call from the production house even though his phone number hasn’t changed. He tweeted that he waited for a call from the team, now has signed a new project.

After a year now Sunil has opened up on why he never returned to Kapil’s show after the much-hyped mid-air fight. Times of India quoted Sunil as saying, “If you have noticed I have not done a regular show since last year. I have either hosted award functions, reality show finale or done live events. I did not take up any regular show. I am not denying that Kapil didn’t call me to return on the show, he even came home once and sent his two people to discuss work. But I was not mentally prepared to return to the show after the mid-air fight. I just want to clarify I am not targeting Kapil.”

The actor also added, “I was tired of the fan’s continuous questions about whether I was going to be a part of Kapil’s upcoming show, so I decided to answer it. But I had no intentions to fight with Kapil or say any nasty things about him. I remained silent even after the fight that took place last year. I never said anything. I was under pressure since few days as my fans kept on asking me if I am doing the show and I just reacted [sic].”

Apparently, Kapil’s new show has all the team members of his earlier show including Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar, and Navjot Singh Sidhu. Neha Pendse has joined the team as Kapil’s co-host. The show will go on air from March 25.
