Cricketer-turn-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, who plays a celebrity judge in a popular television comedy show, is willing to broker peace between bickering programme host Kapil Sharma and fellow comedian Sunil Grover.
Kapil and Sunil had a fight when they were flying back with their team to New Delhi after a show in Melbourne. Apparently, Kapil got drunk on the Air India flight last Friday, belittled Sunil and also physically assaulted him. Kapil apologised to him on Twitter, but the two have yet to patch up.
“Kapil and Sunil are brothers. Being a senior member of the show, it is my duty to bring them together again,” said Sidhu, a cabinet minister in the new Congress government in Punjab.
“It is a show that is much loved by the people,” he said, referring to the hugely successful The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony.
Sidhu is associated with show right from the start, and enjoys a great rapport with entire crew, including Kapil and Sunil.
Besides the Kapil-Sunil feud, the 53-year-old Sidhu’s participation in the show has also come under a cloud as government ministers are not supposed to promote private programmes.
Though the comedians and the crew were initially quiet about the spat, Sunil took to Twitter to express his feelings and all hell broke loose after that.
