Sunil Grover’s Masterclass in Comedy: The HILARIOUS Reign of Chumbak Mittal with Sunny & Vicky Kaushal on TGIKS
When Sunil Grover makes an appearance on stage, audiences know they are in for a ride. His talent for transforming into diverse, memorable characters is legendary, and his performance as Engineer Chumbak Mittal on The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS), particularly in the episode featuring Bollywood’s beloved Kaushal brothers, Vicky and Sunny, was a spectacular demonstration of his comedic genius.
The episode, which marked the Kaushal brothers’ appearance on the popular Netflix show, quickly became a fan favourite, thanks in large part to the unscripted hilarity and razor-sharp wit of Sunil Grover’s newest eccentric creation. From taking hilarious jabs at the show’s format to completely derailing the script, the segment was a perfect storm of comedy that left the celebrity guests and the audience in stitches.
Engineer Chumbak Mittal: A New Comedic Icon
Sunil Grover’s introduction as Engineer Chumbak Mittal, often shortened to Er. Chumbak, instantly set a chaotic yet comedic tone. This character, like Grover’s previous blockbusters like Dr. Mashoor Gulati and Rinku Bhabhi, is a masterpiece of observational comedy, portraying a highly-qualified but oddly-employed professional.
Chumbak Mittal’s central joke revolves around his supposed profession. He proudly proclaims himself to be an Aeronautical Engineer, a double IIT graduate, a “Runway Engineer” who clears all “living obstacles and hindrances” before a flight takes off. This sophisticated, self-important description is quickly and hilariously dismantled by Kapil Sharma, who translates the job for the audience in simple terms: the Engineer’s primary role is to shoo birds off the runway—or, as Kapil put it, he is a “Chidiya Udata Hai” (bird-shooer).
The juxtaposition of Chumbak Mittal’s serious demeanour, immaculate dress sense, and grand claims with the sheer banality of his actual job is the core of the character’s appeal, turning him into a symbol of over-qualification in a funny, relatable way.
The Kaushal Brothers and Chumbak Mittal: A Perfect Match
The brilliance of this particular performance was how Chumbak Mittal (and Grover’s other character in the episode) interacted with the Kaushal brothers, Vicky and Sunny. The celebrity guests were not just passive spectators but active participants in the comedic chaos, leading to several viral moments.
1. The ‘K’ Connection and the Improv Masterstroke
One of the most talked-about moments involved Sunil Grover’s earlier cross-dressing character in the same episode, who flirted with Vicky Kaushal. When the character expressed that her husband’s name starts with ‘K,’ Vicky Kaushal delivered a quick, brilliant, and completely off-script response.
Vicky replied, “Even my wife’s name starts with ‘K.’ This makes us brother and sister.”
This one-liner, a witty reference to his wife, Katrina Kaif, was so perfectly timed and unexpected that it made Sunil Grover immediately break character. Staring at Kapil Sharma with a mix of helplessness and genuine awe, Grover exclaimed, “Sara script he kharab kar dia” (He ruined the whole script). This moment of meta-comedy, where the actor acknowledges the sheer power of the guest’s spontaneous retort, became an instant highlight, showing the unscripted magic that happens when a comic veteran meets a sharp-witted guest.
2. The “Business” of Laughter
Chumbak Mittal’s self-aware humour didn’t spare even the show’s structure and the permanent guest, Archana Puran Singh. In a classic roast moment, Chumbak Mittal exposed what he called the “business” of comedy. He pointed out that Archana Puran Singh’s constant, loud laughter ensures the audience believes the jokes are funny, hinting that her laughter is an essential part of the show’s operation, regardless of the quality of the punchline. This self-deprecating yet critical joke on the comedy show’s dynamics resonated strongly with the audience, proving that Grover’s comedy works best when it’s layered with satire.
3. An Engineer’s Unexpected Past
To add to the character’s bizarre yet hilarious history, Chumbak Mittal revealed a previous work assignment. Before his high-flying job of clearing runways, he claimed he was tasked with bathing small monkeys in a place called “Chota Kashmir” for five years. This completely absurd detail, introduced with a deadpan expression, showcased Grover’s commitment to making his characters as outlandish yet seriously portrayed as possible, leading to a new wave of laughter in the studio.
The Kaushal Brothers’ Candid Confessions
While Sunil Grover stole the character-driven spotlight, the Kaushal brothers contributed to the episode’s overall hilarity by sharing incredibly relatable and funny childhood anecdotes. Their candid revelations provided the perfect, grounded balance to the sketch comedy.
- Sunny’s Gutter Adventures: Vicky Kaushal revealed a hilarious childhood secret: when they were young, his younger brother Sunny had a strange habit of being found in a gutter (manhole) while walking with their father. Vicky shared that they would go out for a walk, and their father would turn back to find Sunny missing, only to retrieve him from a nearby drain.
- The Pre-Dinner Performance: They also revealed that their father, action director Sham Kaushal, would often make them perform a coordinated dance for guests who came for dinner. This pre-dinner “event” would start a day in advance, causing the brothers great anxiety but serving as a truly relatable memory of a typical Indian middle-class home.
The combination of the celebrity guests’ personal, honest, and funny stories with Sunil Grover’s magnificent character work cemented this episode as a classic, proving once again that the reunion of Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover, with fresh, innovative characters like Chumbak Mittal, is a magic potion for Indian television.
