Actor and comedian Sunil Grover has done it again. His latest impersonation—a stunning tribute to the late veteran actor Kader Khan on The Great Indian Kapil Show—has gone viral, earning him heartfelt praise from none other than actor Gajraj Rao, who hailed him as the “greatest behrupiya (master of disguise) of our times.”
In a lengthy and appreciative social media post, Rao lavished praise on Grover’s unique talent for not just mimicking, but embodying the personalities he portrays.
Gajraj Rao’s Heartfelt Praise
Rao began by declaring his fandom, stating, “I am a fan of Sunil Grover; whatever he does wins hearts.” He listed Grover’s remarkable range, noting how he transforms into figures like Kapil Dev, Salman Khan, Dara Singh, and SS Rajamouli with uncanny accuracy.
But it was the recent Kader Khan act that truly moved him. “In yesterday’s episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, he appeared as Kader Khan. It felt as if Kader Khan himself was on stage. Grover doesn’t just mimic people; he enters their soul. He absorbs their speech, gestures, and expressions completely.”
He concluded by calling Grover a “divine” and “unique” artist, and extended his appreciation to the entire team behind the show, including Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Kapil Sharma, the writers, and the makeup and costume team. “Without everyone’s combined effort, this magic wouldn’t be possible,” he wrote.
Sunil Grover’s Graceful Response
Overwhelmed by the praise, Grover responded with characteristic grace and humility.
“My lord, thank you so much for giving me so much love and respect. You are truly generous. When I receive this kind of love and blessings from a great person like you, my first thought is, ‘Thank God,’ and the second is, ‘How do I even respond to this?’”
He added, “You have always boosted my confidence, and this is not just today; you have been doing this for a very long time. On behalf of myself and our entire team, I thank you immensely. Also, your choice of songs is wonderful. Love and regards, your fan.”
A Viral Sensation
Fans have flooded social media with praise for Grover’s performance, noting how he masterfully captured not just the voice and gestures of Kader Khan, but the very essence of the beloved personality. The exchange between Rao and Grover has only added to the warmth surrounding the viral clip, highlighting the deep mutual respect between two of India’s most beloved performers.
