More details of the Kapil Sharma-Sunil Grover spat have been revealed by a Hindustan Times report, which details out the account of an eyewitness who was on the same Air India flight from Melbourne to Mumbai as the two stars.
Apparently the source on the condition of anonymity revealed that Kapil had consumed an entire bottle of whiskey and lost his temper when the cabin crew served food while he was still drinking, and his team members didn’t wait for him to finish before digging in.
Kapil reportedly yelled at his team saying, “jab maine khaana shuru nahi kiya toh tum logo ne kaise le liya khaana?” The eyewitness went on to reveal that Sunil Grover tried to calm him down as his entourage began returning their trays. Apparently, Kapil hit Sunil with his shoe and also slapped him several times.
During Kapil and Sunil’s scuffle, a female member of their team was also hit according to the eyewitness, which explains the lady Sunil Grover was referring to in his tweet.
The HT report also says that as the fight escalated, passengers in the economy class also got curious. Kapil could not be controlled by the cabin crew or his team and reportedly continued screaming at them. The eyewitness recollects that Kapil kept yelling about how they should all be grateful to him for their success and targeted Sunil Grover specifically, taunting him about the fact that he had left Sharma’s successful show, but had no choice but to return.
While yelling, Kapil also kept loudly abusing in Punjabi. At some point, the cabin crew told Kapil that they would have to call security on landing, if he didn’t stop. He, however, kept repeating, “Arrey yeh log samajhte kya hai. In sab ka career meri wajah se hai.”An eye-witness account
This entire incident seems to have spiralled out of control as far as Kapil Sharma is concerned. Many believe that he had made the announcement about his girlfriend on the morning of his arrival from Melbourne, only to deflect the media’s attention from this controversy.
