Mumbai, Feb 19

Actor-star comedian Sunil Grover was seen embracing simplicity as he washed clothes at a roadside hand pump

Sunil took to Instagram, where he shared a video of himself dressed in a casual light pink T-shirt and black sweatpants. In the clip, the stand-up star is seen with a bucket of clothes by his side. With his sleeves rolled up, he is seen washing his clothes and then pumping water to wash his face.

He kept it simple and didn't add any caption. However, he added the song Na Tum Hamen Jano by Hemant Kumar from the 1962 film "Baat Ek Raat Ki" as the background score.

This is not the first time Sunil has seen embracing the simpler things in life. Last month, he shared a video of himself sitting on the floor and making rotis on a traditional 'chulha'.

In the video, Sunil could be seen kneading the dough, shaping it into perfectly round rotis, and roasting them directly over the open flame of the chulha.

Sharing the video, Sunil Grover wrote, "Friends Roti kha lo ..."

On the work front, Sunil is currently seen in The Great Indian Kapil Show, which streams on Netflix.

Sunil was discovered during his college days by the late satirist and comedian Jaspal Bhatti.He has also acted in India's first silent comedy show, Gutur Gu in the initial 26 episodes.

During 2000s, he made his television debut with Chala Lallan Hero Banne. He gained a lot of popularity from the comedy show Comedy Nights with Kapil and became well known for his comical characters like Gutthi, Rinku Bhabi and Dr. Mashoor Gulati.

He also mimics famous Bollywood actors like Amitabh Bachhan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.

After leaving Kapil's show, Sunil returned to television with Kanpur Wale Khuranas with Aparshakti Khurana as the host. The plot of the show was similar to that of The Kapil Sharma Show, but it didn't last long and soon went off air.

In 2016, he debuted in the Punjab film industry with Vaisakhi List and the same year he portrayed Shraddha Kapoor's father in Baaghi.

In 2021, Sunil portrayed Gurpal Chauhan in political drama web series Tandav, starring Saif Ali Khan, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Kumud Mishra, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Gauahar Khan, Amyra Dastur, Kritika Kamra, Sarah Jane Dias and Sandhya Mridul, Anup Soni and Dino Morea.

In the same year, he portrayed Sonu Singh in the thriller web-series Sunflower, for which he shed almost 8.1 kilos.

Love Sunil Grover! From Gutthi to making rotis on a chulha and now this. He never forgets his roots. The Hemant Kumar song in the background is the perfect touch. True artist.

While I appreciate the sentiment, part of me feels this is a bit performative. He's a millionaire actor posting a styled video. Real "desi" life isn't an Instagram aesthetic for most—it's a daily struggle without a choice.

This is so charming! As someone not from India, it's wonderful to see these glimpses of traditional life. The song choice sounds beautiful. He seems very genuine.

Haha, reminds me of my summer holidays at my nani's house in Punjab. We all had to take turns at the hand pump! Good on him for keeping it real. Miss his comedy with Kapil though, the new show is okay.

It's nice, but let's not romanticize poverty or lack of amenities. A hand pump is hard work and often indicates no running water. The real tribute would be to support NGOs working for water access in rural areas.
