New Delhi, Mar 19 : Kapil Sharma might be making audience laugh on his jokes, but people close to him allegedly say that his drinking habit and the subsequent misbehaviour is becoming a regular thing. And the one at the receiving end, this time, was his co-actor from the Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil Grover.

According to Indian Express, just after the fans of Kapil Sharma got the big news of their favourite comedian-actor confessing his love for long-time girlfriend Ginni Chatrath on Twitter, there was another unfortunate news which began doing rounds. According to reports, Kapil had allegedly assaulted Sunil Grover on Thursday night, during a flight from Australia to Mumbai. The show’s entire team was recently in Australia for a tour, and the incident took place when the actors were returning to Mumbai.

Kapil’s tiffs with his team members have been making news for sometime now. Kapil reportedly misbehaved and abused Sunil loudly on the flight, which got the attention of the co-passengers too. While Sunil kept quite, Kapil did not stop there. He went on and physically assaulted Sunil. It was only when the cabin crew intervened that Kapil could be brought under control. Sunil, in fact, apologised to everyone for the drunken behaviour of his friend Kapil.

Neither Kapil, nor Sunil have commented on the incident yet.

The two popular comedians have known each other for a long time now. Both began their successful collaboration with the hit show Comedy Nights With Kapil. In between, it was thought that the two had a spat because of which Sunil eventually walked out of the show, only to return later. Sunil’s onscreen character of Gutthi on the show became a household name as well.

Later, when Kapil locked horns with television channel Colors, Sunil was one of the few who supported Kapil and stayed on the side of his friend. Also, when Kapil shifted his show to Sony channel, which currently airs as The Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil remained one of its main actors.
