Comedian and actor Sunil Grover, best known for his comedic brilliance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, has recently shared glimpses of his peaceful mountain getaway. In a new Instagram post, Sunil attempted to show that he is leading a simple, stress-free life. However, this attempt at simplicity was quickly overshadowed by reactions from netizens who questioned the authenticity of the content.

The viral post features Sunil seeking blessings near the Ganges, dressed in casual white and blue attire. The reel also includes a clip of him napping on the floor beside a stranger. Despite the peaceful setting, many social media users were quick to point out the presence of a photographer, calling into question the ‘simplicity’ of his trip. Comments like “Down to earth dikhne ke liye cameraman” (using a cameraman to appear down-to-earth) flooded the comment section, highlighting the irony of carrying a photographer to showcase his humble lifestyle.

Sunil, known for his humor and wit, captioned the video, “Aur kya chahiye… batao (What else can one want… say)?”. While many fans appreciated the peaceful vibe of the video, others found it too staged to truly reflect the ‘simple’ life he was trying to portray.

This isn’t the first time a celebrity’s attempt at displaying simplicity has been met with skepticism. Despite the mixed reactions, Sunil’s post continues to gain attention, proving once again that even in moments of calm, he knows how to spark a conversation.
