Grover
says
that
re-entering
"Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil" is
like
coming
home

collaborating

host
Kapil
Sharma
was
like
reuniting
with
an
old
friend.

The
stand-up
comedian,
who
quit

show

year
and
has
made
a
fresh
entry
as
Bittoo
Sharma's
father-in-law,
talks
at
length
about
his
comeback
and
his
new
avatar.
Excerpts
from
the
interview:
Q:
You
are
back
on
"Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil"?
A:
Yes,
we
recorded
my
re-entry,
if
we
can
call
it
that,
on
Wednesday
night.
I
had
eaten
the
auspicious
dahi-chini
(curd
and
sugar)
before
leaving
for
the
shooting.
It
was
like
coming
home.
But
of
course
I
was
nervous.

Q:
How
did
the
audience
react?
A:
The
audience
broke
into
spontaneous
applause.
I
felt
very,
very
welcomed.
Q:
How
did
Kapil
welcome
you?
A:
We
have
been
in
touch
all
through
the
period
when
I
was
away
from
"Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil".
He
welcomed
me
very
warmly.
Rather,
I
welcomed
him,
since
I
reached
the
set
before
he
did.
He
came
15
minutes
after
me.
When
I
saw
him,
I
said,
"Welcome
to
'Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil'." We
sat
together
laughing,
sharing
jokes,
chatting
in-between
shots.
Q:
This
sounds
like
being
too
good
to
be
true?
A:
In
fact,
it
felt
as
though
I
had
never
left
the
show.
The
period
in-between
simply
evaporated.
I
met
Kapil
like
two
friends
who
pick
up
the
threads
of
their
relationship
after
some
time.
He
was
very
warm(gets
emotional).
Kapil
is
a
sensible,
decent
man.
We
share
a
terrific
chemistry.
The
minute
we
see
one
another
we
smile
at
one
another.

With

Sharma!
Q:
Why
do
you
feel
your
re-entry
may
not
be
called
a
re-entry?
A:
Because
I
never
felt
I
had
gone
away.
The
'Comedy
Nights...' team
has
been
and
always
will
be
a
part
of
me.
I
may
have
gone
away
for
a
while.
But
I
was
never
far
away.
Q:
What
would
your
re-entry
be
like?
A:
I'm
playing
Kapil's
father-in-law,
to
begin
with.
We'll
see
how
the
audience
reacts
to
that
character
and
then
take
it
up
from
there.
If
you're
hinting
at
a
formal
re-introduction,
I
don't
think
that's
needed.
How
they
bring
me
back
into
the
show
is
the
channel
-
Colors'
call.
Q:
How
do
you
feel
about
the
show
"Mad
In
India"?
A:
When
I
did
that
show,
I
didn't
do
it
with
the
intention
to
be
one-up
on
'Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil'.
I
got
the
offer
after
I
left
'Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil'.
I
keep
saying,
'Comedy
Nights...'
was
not
and
is
not
a
'Gutthi
Show'
or
a
Sunil
Grover
Show.
I
am
part
of
an
ensemble
cast.
The
show
existed
before
me.
It
will
go
on
after
me.
Q:
Why
do
you
think
"Mad
In
India"
failed?
A:
There
are
many
reasons
why
a
show
fails.
I
worked
hard
on
the
show.
But
no
point
in
brooding
over
the
it.
It's
time
to
move
on.
Q:
How
much
time
will
you
devote
to
"Comedy
Nights..."?
A:
I
am
now
fully
into
the
show.
It
will
take
up
a
lot
of
my
time.
And
if
Gutthi
comes
back,
it
will
be
even
more
time-consuming.
She
is
a
very
demanding
girl.I
tell
you!
