Hours after finishing his show in Australia comedian and actor Kapil Sharma physically assaulted fellow comedian and member of The Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil Grover, on a flight to India, reports Hindustan Times.
The cast of the popular comedy show was returning from Australia after a performance tour.
The Indian Express reports that Kapil Sharma was drunk and got into a fight with his crew.
The report goes on to say that Sunil Grover tried to intervene in the scuffle.
But Kapil Sharma got physical with Sunil Grover while others looked on.
Sunil Grover later apologised to the other passengers on Kapil Sharma's behalf.
An eyewitness on the flight told The Quint: “Without any provocation, Kapil pounced on Sunil Grover. We saw Kapil loudly abusing Sunil. Sunil kept quiet, probably thinking that Kapil would calm down after the outburst. But Kapil got more aggressive."
"His loud abuses could be heard right across the flight cabin.He then physically assaulted Sunil. That’s when all hell broke loose. The flight attendants rushed to the spot.They wanted to handcuff Kapil in order to restrain him. To his credit Sunil stood by his unruly colleague and asked the cabin crew to overlook his drunken behaviour," the witness adds.
Neither Kapil, nor Sunil have officially commented on the incident yet.
