Comedian-actor Sunil Grover's recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show has sparked widespread buzz due to his accurate and hilarious portrayal of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, leaving audiences amused. His flow, body language, expressions, and exceptional skill in capturing detailed aspects of a personality have blown the minds of onlookers. While Sunil Grover is the talk of the town, receiving appreciation for his unmatched impersonation skills, did you know that the comedian once failed to impress Aamir Khan with his mimicry years ago, but onscreen? Aamir Khan Praises Sunil Grover’s Mimicry of Him on ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, Calls It ‘Priceless’ (Watch Video).

When Sunil Grover Failed To Impress Aamir Khan With His Impersonation Skills

As the internet continues to go gaga over Sunil Grover’s near-perfect impersonation skills of Aamir Khan,  fans of the Bollywood superstar may know that this is not the first interaction between the two immensely talented gentlemen.

Their first meeting (as known publicly) goes back to 2008, in the hit film Ghajini. The cult classic featured Khan as businessman Sanjay Singhania, who keeps his real identity hidden after falling in love with the kind-hearted Kalpana Shetty (played by Asin Thottumkal).

In one particular scene, Asin’s Kalpana promises her agency’s boss that she will bring the real Sanjay Singhania to one of their events, which would draw huge attention to the company. Unaware of her boyfriend Sachin/Sanjay’s true identity, she hires a talented artiste, Sampath (played by Sunil Grover), to impersonate him at the event. However, unimpressed by his acting, Kalpana ultimately chooses Aamir Khan’s character to impersonate himself.
