Indian actor-comedian Sunil Grover recalled the time when he was replaced on a show without being informed by the makers.
In a recent conversation with an Indian tabloid, Grover, best known for his portrayal of Dr Mashhoor Gulati and Gutthi on comedy shows, spoke about the rough phase in life when he was removed from a show after working for just three days.

Without naming the title, Grover said, “Ek show tha jisme main replace ho gaya tha 3 din mein hi aur mujhe bataya bhi nahi tha. Kisi aur se pata chala tha mujhe, (There was a show in which I got replaced within 3 days and they didn’t even tell me. I got to know through someone else.)”
“I had immense self doubt, mujhe ni lagta tha ki main dobara ja paunga ya un logo ke saath shooting kar paunga. Toh main ek shell mein chala gaya tha almost one month ke liye, ( I didn’t feel that I could ever go back and work with the same people. I had gone in a shell for almost a month),” he explained.
“Then I thought may be I will not pursue it but then I don’t know if it was some kind of stubbornness which made me say, ‘chal koi nahi…ek baar aur try karte hai‘, (Let’s try it once again),” Grover added.
When asked about his massive fan following across social media platforms, the actor urged his fans to never judge a celebrity by their followers count. “Please don’t do that. Maine kayi logo ko depression mein jaate hue dekha hai iss wajeh se, (I have seen many people go into depression because of that),” he told the interviewer.
