Sunil Grover, who is still remembered for his portrayal as Gutthi and Dr Mashoor Gulati on Indian television, is on cloud nine these days. He was most recently seen in superstar Salman Khan’s Eid release, Bharat (2019), which turned out to be a massive hit at the box-office. Despite the presence of several experienced actors on the ensemble star cast, Sunil Grover did not only manage to stand out but also received great response for his endearing performance in the film.
His life has changed a little after the stupendous success of the film. Besides being flooded with loads of compliments, the actor is also enjoying great female attention post the runaway success of the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial. “I get so many compliments. But when women and girls come and give compliments is always special. They say, “You are a good looking man, looked good in the film”. There is this female attention now. I am not used to such compliments.”
Recalling one such compliment which touched his heart, Sunil Grover says, “One old Punjabi lady came up to me and said, “Son, you are such a good-looking man!” That was something special.”
Before Bharat, Sunil Grover garnered praises for his outstanding performances in films like Pataakha (2018) and Baaghi (2016). The actor says that he loves playing various characters in films. “I feel I am on a journey where I have to explore many things. I love playing characters in this medium (films). The journey has started well. I want to do so many characters, be it simple, complicated, funny, non-funny. It depends on what I get,” he signs off.
