Sunil Pal, known for his comic roles in Bollywood films and his sharp wit, rose to fame as the winner of the inaugural season of ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’.

Beyond his stand-up career, he made his mark as a writer and director, notably with the 2010 comedy film ‘Bhavnao Ko Samjho’, which featured a notable ensemble of comedians, including Kapil Sharma, Johnny Lever, and Raju Srivastav.

Pal is no stranger to controversy and has often voiced his criticism of some of Bollywood’s established comedians. His remarks about Kapil Sharma’s shift to Netflix with ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ have attracted attention, as has his critique of Sunil Grover’s portrayal of women in comedy, which he deemed “cheap” and “vulgar”.

Pal’s outspoken opinions on the comedic world have made him a polarizing figure among peers.

As the investigation into his disappearance continues, fans and colleagues are hoping for his safe return.
