Actor-comedian Sunil Grover, who is gearing up for his streaming show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ with fellow comic artist Kapil Sharma, has said that his public spat with Kapil was a publicity stunt.
Speaking to the media on the sets of his show on Tuesday, Sunil poked fun at the fight between him and Kapil, who took the entertainment industry by storm six years ago.
Sunil jokingly told the media that back then, streaming platforms were gaining ground in the country, so he and Kapil thought of what they could do to give TV content an edge or better jump on the OTT bandwagon.

He joked, “Us time pe Netflix India mein naya naya aaya tha toh humko laga ki television audience ko baandh ke rakhne ke liye kuch karna padega (Netflix had just entered India then. So Kapil and I thought we have to do something, what will keep our TV audience”.
“So we came up with the idea of fighting as a publicity stunt,” Sunil said as he couldn’t hold back a laugh at the cooked-up story.
