Several celebrities including Kusha Kapila, Varun Dhawan, Zakir Khan, Vrajesh Hirjee, Paritosh Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Sheeba Chaddha also praised Sunil Grover’s performance. Dressed as Khan, the comedian recreated his iconic expressions, voice modulation, and comic timing from popular Bollywood films

Veteran actor Gajraj Rao showered praise on comedian-actor Sunil Grover for his impressive mimicry of legendary actor-writer Kader Khan during the finale episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. Taking to Instagram on Sunday (March 15), Rao shared stills of Grover from the episode and penned a heartfelt note applauding his performance and versatility.

In Hindi, Rao wrote, “I am a fan of Sunil Grover; whatever he does touches the heart. When he comes on stage as Kapil Dev, even Kapil Dev keeps watching him in amazement. When he takes on the form of Salman, he actually starts looking like Salman… Dara Singh, Sidhu, Aamir Khan, Rajamouli - he can become anyone.

“In yesterday’s episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, he appeared as Kader Khan, and it felt as if Kader Khan himself was standing on the stage. Grover does not merely mimic; he enters the soul of that person. He absorbs their speech, expressions and mannerisms completely. Grover is one of the greatest shape-shifters of our time; his art is divine and he is truly unique.”

Rao also praised the entire team behind the show, adding that the magic wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s contribution.
