-
Ajay Devgan was of course there in the
-
film, Kajol was also there in that film
-
so, they had come for a shoot at
-
Chandigarh and I used to study at
-
Chandigarh college and did theatre over
-
there; over a period of time the thing
-
I understood that it's an amazing task
-
to make people laugh and if you have the
-
ability and you can do it, then do it for
-
sure. Many a times I stay cool too,
-
it might be feeling that every time I do
-
that I mumble, it's sometimes even that
-
I am calm. By God's grace, I have started
-
working, I feel normal everything is
-
normal-laughter is the best medicine
-
It's started?-yes-I don't even know
-
-they didn't even say Rolling, Camera,
-
Action [Laughs]- I'm sitting with my mouth
-
open like this-okay
-
The guest at Pinkvilla today has been
-
entertaining us with his free doses of
-
medicine which is laughter, ever since he
-
has set foot in this industry and please
-
welcome Mr. Sunil Grover--thank you,
-
welcome to you also- Mr. Sunil, you have
-
been in this industry for a really really
-
long time and you have done
-
-not this much-you have -just a few time
-
-haha-long time was of Raj Kapoor sir
-
or Prithvi Raj sir's, I'm just recent one
-
y'all added 2 reels
-
-yes-count only one reel-okay
-
-will remove one really, but for even that
-
few span of time you have really performed
-
each type of character-yes-say it comedy
-
small roles in the movies, TV shows-
-
-correct-I just heard you were saying you
-
even dubbed over a voice actor so, how do
-
you see your growth as an individual, as
-
an artist over this period of time
-
-mine is like who first walking on foot
-
then by sitting on bullock-cart, by
-
hanging behind someone's tractor
-
then by sitting with 3 of them in truck
-
via bus, umm train, airport airplane;
-
all these journey, I've done!-[laughs]
-
-one or two things might be missed in
-
between so, I've experienced things for
-
some time, different different things
-
I really enjoyed, I'm grateful that I
-
got a chance to experience all of these
-
and my choice also stays this only
-
and this is a bit, many of the decisions
-
from this are intentional too because
-
my bend towards experience, towards
-
experiencing different mediums; has been
-
a lot!- "united Kachhe", this title when
-
you heard it for the first time, what was
-
the first thing that came into your mind
-
-the thing which I liked-hmm-I didn't
-
accept the show due to the title, I liked
-
that Kacche means illegal elements and
-
this concept in which it was like
-
I want to do a Sit-Com whose concept is
-
like this and in one house, some people
-
stay and life around them, the vicinity
-
will be shown like this-hmm-so, it was
-
very sweet and felt that; as far as I know
-
setting up of such type of Sit-Com in
-
London is good thing and Big thing-hmm
-
-so, I said that yes, I'll do! on hearing
-
that, I felt pretty good, so, I did it.
-
because such type of attempt has never
-
been happened-correct! So, if we speak
-
about your actor, we saw trailer, teaser
-
it's very interesting so, in real life, is
-
there any of your resemblance with
-
that character?-Like, Tango's character
-
in it, he is from Panjab and I'm also
-
Punjabi and my house where we used to
-
stay on Haryana, Punjab,Rajasthan's
-
border, so, I've seen many of such
-
type of people who have a dream of going
-
abroad; now also I see it so, there are
-
many relatable things that we want to go
-
out and many of them have dream who have
-
kept the land on lease and went abroad
-
many of them sell it and go abroad
-
so, I have seen this type of people
-
I can relate to this, and one thing that
-
our aspirations, each human has it that
-
I go to some new place or by doing
-
some new work, I get in it and create a
-
destination, settle over here, it's there
-
in each profession, at each place, this
-
emotion is there-umm you had done a
-
role in Pyar toh Hona Hi Tha-yes, it was
-
my first film-it was you first film!-hmm
-
-so, now, in parties and with all the
-
stars, now, you are also a star, when you
-
meet all did you discuss about this with
-
Mr. Ajay that you know I was there in
-
Houseful-yes yes!-how was his reaction,
-
what was the..?-do you know that Anees
-
Bazmee sir was director in that and
-
Rohit Shetty was Associate director in
-
that and so, of course Ajay Devgan was
-
there in that film so, Kajol was also
-
there in that film. So, they came
-
Chandigarh for shooting and I used to
-
study at Chandigarh college and did
-
theatre over there, I was popular
-
so, a local actor was needed so I was
-
called over there by the coordinator
-
did this role, felt very nice, just before
-
few time, I met Ajay Devgan sir so,
-
he discussed this [Mimics Ajay Devgan]
-
of course he knows-you had done some time
-
before, Gutter Gu which is a silent
-
comedy show-yes yes-and your last comedy
-
show on Television was Kanpur Waale
-
Khuranas-yes-Since then, how has comedy
-
as a genre evolved and how have you
-
personally benefitted from it?-I don't
-
know about evolvement, I know a bit much..
-
I, as per myself modify and do it
-
so, when you know that you have
-
understood, that's the time when you
-
have forgotten, you have not understood
-
anything! so, just keep doing it, I feel;
-
like whatever you understand
-
Keep doing which you thing is right
-
and when you yourself feel like
-
laughing, firstly, definitely do it
-
if people laugh, it feels even more better
-
so, over a period of time, I've understood
-
that it's a very great job to make people
-
laugh and if you have the ability and you
-
can do it then definitely do it because
-
this is a very enjoying job because
-
people want is people forgetting sadness
-
pain and smiling then why should you not
-
do it if you can- definitely! on your
-
Instagram too, all your posts are
-
hilarious, all are funny memes, usually,
-
celebrities us it for their film
-
promotion for this or for that, but
-
yours in general, whichever post it is,
-
it's all related to comedy only so, that
-
is intentional or you are just like that
-
as a person- Maybe, I'm like this only
-
I like it and I feel if someone has come
-
on the page, if any post is there due to
-
which a slight smile comes on her face
-
and I don't take so much effort, time
-
on it-hmm-so, I just put it, but I wish
-
I become more active, I'm less active
-
maybe!-hmm-every person derives
-
inspiration from some place or some
-
incident or anything as a comic artist,
-
where do you look for more source of
-
inspiration for your content?-In our
-
surroundings only, people, things are
-
there and if you make them relatable,
-
so, it's more nice that if it's more
-
relatable then people will understand and
-
laugh on it so, the listeners and watchers
-
and you, both can relate to that so, then
-
eventually, it becomes comedy maybe!
-
your surrounding area, talks happen.
-
-we know you as a star, we know you as a
-
person who has been seen on the television
-
but off screen, how is Sunil Grover as a
-
person with his family, with his friends
-
how is he?-I am useful for picking up
-
everyone's bag umm if they say to pass it,
-
I just pass it, pick up that, then I pick
-
it up so, I like to host for people or to
-
do something for people whom I love,
-
so, I am telling it because I am the same
-
as I started or before that in childhood
-
More or less, I am like that and most of
-
the time I stay calm it might feel,
-
every time I am bouncing, it's not
-
like that, many a times, I am very calm
-
too-I wanted to ask that only that you
-
have calm nature also!-Mood keeps on
-
fluctuating that some day a lot bouncing
-
happens, so, when I go out for roaming
-
around then I become a very different
-
person-hmm- I really like travelling
-
going to different places-hmm-and visiting
-
and exploring new places. At that point,
-
mine every thing changes, on thinking that
-
I become happy. I like to spend time at
-
home, with family too-You have worked
-
on Television, OTT and you also have done
-
films, as an artist, through which medium
-
do you get to explore yourself more?
-
-when I used to do theatre, drama umm
-
so in that one thing is like you get
-
instant result, you performed; people
-
in front like it, either applauses either
-
silence either talks so, you get to know
-
it accurately whether if you are right or
-
wrong and instant gratification you get in
-
a second. In TV it takes 1 or 2 weeks,,
-
in films, it takes 6 months, 1year,
-
2 years-hmm-in OTT too it takes this much
-
time. different different mediums has
-
different different things, in radio when
-
I used to do, it's I used to know after
-
a few while; there is one more medium,
-
Social Media, where you put something
-
you get instant results from people
-
-if you post any post on Instagram, do
-
you keep checking again and again that
-
how many views are there, what's the
-
engagement with it or you just let it be
-
after posting it!-no, sometimes I do
-
check and I tried in between that I
-
understand many a times when you post
-
something then people see it, when you
-
post, sometimes people don't see
-
how much is coming! and I don't bother
-
that much, post it and you just get aside
-
it's their own technology, how much we
-
will put where we will put and the
-
purpose is... at that should be because
-
the more you get inside it, you will get
-
much more inside-hmm-my main medium
-
is this where I am part of Story telling
-
process' in a long format and I enjoy it
-
so, better I just put some things for fun,
-
then it's put! and it can't be my
-
obligation I'm so hardworking and there
-
is not so much capability in me that I
-
deliver I work on 4 5 mediums, I want
-
to do that for fun or for sharing to
-
do that to do that to take this as a work
-
so, it's a long format and I really enjoy
-
it!-talking about comedy, it has many
-
extensions to it the genre itself has
-
a lot of umm sub-sections to it so,
-
which kind of comedy do you like?
-
like Satire, clean comedy, dark humor
-
-in which we can laugh it's good!
-
First of all that's the requirement, rest,
-
we try that do such
-
things which can be watched with family
-
in comedy because there are few
-
subjects where you get different
-
certificates for various reasons but I
-
prefer that, my effort is so that if you
-
are watching it with family then that
-
family also gets a chance to spend time
-
together-hmm-and it's a beautiful thing
-
recently, I had gone to perform live show
-
so there were 80-90 years old senior
-
citizens had also come along with
-
5-6 years of children there were
-
8 years children too
-
so, I was becoming a lot happy that
-
grandpa, grandma, their children then
-
their children, 3 generations have come to
-
watch the show together and they are
-
enjoying, the show which they are watching
-
it's a one thing, along with they too get
-
a chance to spend time with one another
-
today, so many of them are busy
-
so, it becomes a reason that all can
-
sit together, it feels really nice
-
-anything else that you are going to come
-
up on television right now? like we have
-
a list of things, your upcoming movie
-
Jawaan and then Sunflower-yes-
-
anything on television-television is a
-
very big medium and I like it a lot
-
and I'm everything due to television
-
and there, I've a wish to do something
-
if something new comes then definitely
-
I will do-it has been almost a year, I
-
think more than a year and a month
-
since you suffered heart attack which is
-
very very shocking for everyone of us and
-
you dealt with it, what are the changes
-
that you have made into your lifestyle
-
after that and how has perspective tolds
-
life change after that?-that was one
-
incident, I had caught COVID and I was
-
suffering from COVID during which this
-
happened so, I was told that due to
-
this reason, at many places this cloth
-
occurs and happens like this so, I tried
-
understanding the things but till I
-
understood that, my surgery was done and
-
slowly slowly...that thing that comes
-
to you, I took it like that only now it
-
has come you can't ignore it and can't
-
do anything but the only way is bringing
-
some discipline in lifestyle, do few
-
slight changes and before also, I was
-
very discipline, it was somewhat
-
here-there, still a little bit too but
-
effort should be like stay happy,
-
enjoy and do your work nicely
-
It's by God's Grace that I have started
-
working again, I feel normal, everything
-
is normal and I feel good about it,
-
exercise has started, work has started
-
now, I don't even know what had happened
-
to me-thank you so much Sunil sir for
-
talking wo us-thank you!
-
Hello, I am Sunil Grover and you are
-
watching me on Pinkvilla!
