Making someone laugh is not everyone’s cup of tea, and those who make people laugh are everyone’s favourite. Today, we will talk about India’s one of the favourites comedians who never fail to leave people in splits.
We are talking about Sunil Grover, who once struggled to earn just Rs 500 per month. In an interview, the actor recalled his tough days in Mumbai when he was jobless. The actor who grabbed everyone’s attention with his character Gutthi in Comedy Nights With Kapil, told Humans Of Bombay, “After I finished my masters in theatre, I shifted to Mumbai to pursue acting. But for the first year, I did nothing but party. I lived in a posh area, using my savings and some money from home. I’d only earn around Rs 500 a month. But I thought I didn’t have to worry because I’d be successful and would earn more soon.”
“But it didn’t take long before I realised that there were many others like me, who were the ‘superstars’ of their town -- and ‘strugglers’ here. Soon I had no income, and was given a harsh reality check,” he said.
The comedian further mentioned that he was demotivated. While speaking to ETimes, the actor said, “Ek show tha jisme main replace ho gaya tha 3 din mein hi aur mujhe bataya bhi nahi tha. Kisi aur se pata chala tha mujhe. I had immense self doubt, mujhe ni lagta tha ki main dobara ja paunga ya un logo ke saath shooting kar paunga. Toh main ek shell mein chala gaya tha almost one month ke liye. Then I thought may be I will not pursue it but then I don’t know if it was some kind of stubbornness which made me say, ‘chal koi nahi…ek baar aur try karte hai‘. (There was a show in which I got replaced within 3 days and they didn’t even tell me. I got to know through someone else. I didn’t feel that I could ever go back and work with the same people. I had gone in a shell for almost a month and I thought I will never pursue this. I don’t know what kind of stubbornness made me want to try again.)”
