Sunil Grover on life before Gutthi: I used to earn 500 a month
"I was someone who was always good at mimicry, acting and making people laugh. I remember when I was in 12th, and took part in a drama competition -- the chief guest said that I shouldn¡¯t participate, because it was unfair to the others! After I finished my masters in theatre, I shifted to Mumbai to pursue acting. But for the first year, I did nothing but party. I lived in a posh area, using my savings and some money from home. I¡¯d only earn around Rs. 500 a month. But I thought I didn¡¯t have to worry because I¡¯d be successful and would earn more soon," Sunil had revealed to Humans Of Bombay.?
After trying his luck in TV and films, he joined radio. "I got offered to do a radio show. It was only going to be aired in Delhi, but when the show went live, it went viral! They decided to air it across India!?After that, I started getting all kinds of opportunities on radio, T.V, and films. Soon ¡®Gutthi¡¯ happened to me, and in no time, it became a household name! I remember how I was called on a live show, and when I entered the stage, the audience was literally roaring for me! I turned around to make sure there wasn¡¯t anyone behind me, whom they were actually clapping for -- but it was all for me."
