Sunil Grover sleeps on the road near a riverbank amidst many devotees
Mumbai, June 19
Actor-comedian Sunil Grover, on Thursday, shared a serene video on his social media account where he was seen sleeping peacefully on the pavement at a bank of a river.
Taking to his social media account, Sunil posted a video clip showing himself resting on a torn mat on the banks of a river at night. The video also featured many other devotees sleeping in the open, under the sky.
The actor captioned the post, "Taare Zameen Par." The video was set to the devotional track 'Jai Kar Mahakal'.
In the video, Sunil can be seen lying quietly on ground at the riverfront alongside others. The actor has not disclosed the location though.
The actor-star comedian has earlier also been seen embracing simplicity.
A few months ago, the actor was seen washing clothes at a roadside hand pump.
Sunil, back then, had taken to his social media account, to share a video of himself dressed in a casual light pink T-shirt and black sweatpants.
In the video, the stand-up star was seen washing clothes with a bucket of clothes besides him. He was then also seen pumping more water to wash his face.
Sunil added the song 'Na Tum Hamen Jano' by Hemant Kumar from the 1962 film "Baat Ek Raat Ki" as the background score.
Earlier, Sunil was also seen 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 was last seen in The Great Indian Kapil Show.
He mimicry of famous Bollywood actors like Amitabh Bachhan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan is a rage on social media.

Honestly, I find this a bit staged. He's a celebrity who can afford any comfort, so sleeping on a torn mat feels like a photo op. But I respect that he's promoting Indian traditions and spirituality—just wish it felt more genuine.
"Taare Zameen Par" indeed! 😄 He's reminding us that stars are not just in the sky, but also on the ground. Sunil is such a down-to-earth guy—washing clothes at a hand pump, making rotis on a chulha. More celebrities should embrace this simplicity.
This is what being Indian is all about. Our rivers, our traditions, our faith. Sunil Grover is not just an actor, he's a cultural ambassador. But I hope he slept safely—the banks can be risky at night. Still, major respect for this.
Can we talk about how he's using songs like "Na Tum Hamen Jano" and "Jai Kar Mahakal" in his videos? 😍 He's bringing back old classics with a spiritual twist. His mimicry of Amitabh sir is legendary, but this side of him is even more inspiring.
It's great to see a celebrity embracing our roots, but let's not romanticize poverty. Many people sleep on pavements every night because they have no choice. Sunil can go back to his luxury home later, but the devotees around him might not have that option. Just a thought.
