Last Updated: Sunil Grover rose to fame with his enactment of a cross-dressed woman, Gutthi, and Dr Gulati, who offers unique medical treatments to his patients in The Kapil Sharma Show. Sunil Grover is indeed one of the best comedians in India. The actor has carved a niche for himself in the Indian entertainment industry with his unmatched comic timing and mimicry. He rose to fame with his enactment of a cross-dressed woman, Gutthi and Dr Gulati, who offer unique medical treatments to his patients in The Kapil Sharma Show. As he celebrates his 48th birthday today, August 3, 2025, let's take a look at some lesser-known facts about the actor. As per ETimesTV, Sunil earlier shared that it was Jaspal Bhatti who first spotted his acting talent during college days and gave him the opportunity to work with him in stage plays and some TV serials. The comedian described Bhatti as a visionary who could see the talent in individuals even when they didn't believe in themselves. Sunil Grover Earned Rs 500 During The Initial Days Earlier, speaking to Humans of Bombay, Sunil spoke about his initial days in Mumbai when he used to earn only Rs 500. The comedian said, 'After completing my master's degree in theatre, I moved to Mumbai to act. But for the first year, all I did was party. I lived in a luxury neighbourhood with my savings and some money from home. I would only earn about Rs 500 per month. But I believed I would be successful soon." 'Eventually, I learnt that there were many people like myself who were 'superstars' in their town and 'strugglers' here. I soon found myself without an income and faced a harsh reality. I was demotivated," he added. Sunil Grover Worked As A Radio Jockey After facing major setbacks in Mumbai, Sunil received an offer to work for a Radio station, exclusively for the Delhi audience. However, when his show went on air, it became an instant hit among the listeners, and the Radio channel decided to air it across India. How Did Gutthi Happen To Him? Sunil said, 'Gutthi happened and quickly became a household name! I remember being called on a live show, and when I walked on stage, the fans cheered for me! I turned to see whether they were clapping for anyone else, but it was all for me. It took a few occasions like that to reawaken the little boy in me who once believed he could rule the world." Then There Was No Looking Back For The Actor After his appearance as Gutthi in Comedy Nights With Kapil, there was no looking back for the actor. He went on to appear in big-budget Bollywood films, including Heropanti, Gabbar Is Back with Akshay Kumar, Baaghi with Tiger Shroff, Ghaijini with Aamir Khan, Bharat with Salman Khan and Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan. He is currently a part of comedian Kapil Sharma's show The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, which premieres on the OTT platform Netflix.
