Raju Srivastava replaces Sunil Grover, becomes permanent member of 'The Kapil Sharma Show'?

New Delhi: Ace comedian Raju Srivastava, who was recently seen spilling humour on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', is now likely to replace Sunil Grover on the popular television program. The 53-year-old comedian reportedly confirmed that he is in talks with the showmakers regarding the same.

“Talks are on, but things are yet to be finalised. I don't want to rush into it, but it's a great opportunity. Sharing the stage with Kapil is always fun,” Mid-Day quoted Raju as saying.

Oh boy, this pretty much tells that Kapil is trying their best to make the show entertaining again. However, no official confirmation has been made yet. But, keeping in mind the heartfelt note which Sunil posted online on Tuesday, speculation are rife that he won't be making a comeback on the TV program.

The whole controversy began when Sunil was reportedly abused verbally and physically by Kapil, who was then in an inebriated state. Sharma and his team were returning from Australia when the incident took place on flight. Soon after the issue made headlines, the 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon' actor took to Twitter to apologise to Sunil. 

However, Sunil replied by posting a message online urging Kapil to 'start respecting human beings also apart from animals'.
