Comedian and actor Sunil Grover has delivered yet another masterclass in mimicry, solidifying his reputation as one of India's top comedic talents. His latest performance involved a stunning transformation into Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan on the popular comedy program, The Great Indian Kapil Show. The act was so precise in its observation and execution that it briefly fooled many audience members into believing the real Aamir Khan had made a surprise appearance.
The Uncanny Transformation That Fooled Everyone
In a preview clip shared online ahead of the episode's broadcast, Sunil Grover made a dramatic entrance. He was dressed in a printed kurta paired with distinctive red trousers, completing the iconic look with glasses and a hairband. The get-up was an instant visual match for Aamir Khan's public persona. However, it was Grover's meticulous attention to detail—his body language, subtle expressions, and precise comic timing—that elevated the act from mere costume to a believable portrayal.
The comedy gold continued during an interaction with guest Kartik Aaryan. Adopting Aamir Khan's persona, Sunil pointedly asked the actor, "Shaadi hogayi tumhari?" (Did you get married?). When host Kapil Sharma interjected to say, "Unki nahi hui" (He hasn't gotten married), Grover, with impeccable timing, retorted, "Abhi ek bhi nahi hui?" (Not even one marriage yet?). The hilarious jab, a playful reference to Aamir Khan's own marital history, sent the studio audience into fits of laughter and quickly became the most talked-about moment from the preview.
Social Media Erupts with Praise: 'A Chameleon'
The internet was quick to react, flooding social media platforms with admiration for Sunil Grover's talent. One viral comment captured the sentiment of many, stating, "Sunil Grover as Aamir Khan... When it comes to comedy and get-up, he can easily beat AI." Another user humorously compared his skills to Bollywood acting, writing, "Sunil Grover’s mimicry skills are way better than Kartik Aaryan’s copy-paste acting."
Numerous viewers confessed they were genuinely tricked. One comment read, "Ohh teri… I thought it was Aamir at first. Even after watching again, I believed it was him until I read the caption." This widespread reaction led fans to label Grover a "chameleon" for his seemingly effortless ability to morph into different characters, proving his craft relies on sharp human observation rather than digital trickery.
Kartik and Ananya Promote Their New Film
This particular episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show features actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday as the special guests. The duo appeared on the show to promote their recently released romantic comedy film, 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri'. The movie, which also stars Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta, Tiku Talsania, Nikkhil Advani, and Gaurav Pandey, tells the story of two unlikely individuals who fall in love but face opposition from their families. Kartik plays Rehaan Mehra, while Ananya portrays the character of Rumi Wardhan Singh.
This is not the first time Sunil Grover has stolen the spotlight on the show. In a previous episode, he impressed both the audience and global star Priyanka Chopra with a musical performance. His band played a new number, and Priyanka was so delighted that she joined in and later kept his jacket as a cherished souvenir.
Sunil Grover's continuous reinvention and commitment to his craft demonstrate why he remains an indispensable and beloved figure in Indian comedy, capable of creating viral moments that resonate deeply with the audience.
