Breaking my long silence, or in
other words overcoming the writer’s block, I could write today because a
well-known comedian’s exceptional performance struck the strings of my heart so
deeply that my arteries of emotions which had dried up for more than a month
showed new signs of resuscitation. The credit for refilling my veins with fresh
emotion goes to the highly talented comedian Mr.Sunil Grover, who, by his
impeccable performance, produced a rare type of DEEWANGEE in the show which was
aired on 20 Dec, 2015. The wave of heightened romanticism which was generated
by the comedian was worthy of viewers’ standing ovation.
Hats off to Mr.Sunil Grover, the
man who appears before us as Gutthi in Comedy Nights with Kapil. He is awesome
and worthy of all my respect so I cannot but
write these lines acknowledging his soulful comedy that he recently
performed in presence of SRK on the tunes of the song Gerua from Dilwale 2015.
You may not feel what I feel about
the act. We may differ from each other in our respective perceptions. And I may
not make you realize how I feel but I need you to acknowledge that there was
something beneath the comedy which strongly moved my feelings. On the said act
his each movement was mysterously engraving his romantic and spiritual
impressions on my heart. With all his heart, Mr.Grover was presenting a tribute
to SRK in the very presence of SRK. It is nothing new but the uniqueness of the
act surfaced when Mr.Grover’s distinctive style of a comedian got spontaneously
fused with the sensitivity of a highly romantic person like SRK. The two types
of characters got so perfectly mingled in Mr.Grover during the act that it
created a homogeneous mixture of pure joy, a joy that had a spiritual appeal.
The characteristic romantic vein of SRK and the heightened sense of tribute of
Mr. Grover were so well balanced and so well integrated that it had a spiritual
expression of unity, love, harmony and emotion.
As a result at the end of the show,
I could feel how an emotionally charged man can reflect unsullied poetry and
intense romanticism on stage although he spoke nothing before the audience and
performed an act of pure comedy.
Poets, lovers and lunatics are made
up of the same stuff. And to be a lover means you are a person who enjoys
his/her madness. And in a mad but mesmerizing act, Mr.Grover’s love for SRK exudes
a symbolic meaning that the eternal spring of love that bubble up in human
heart for another fellow human-being irrespective of caste, creed, religion,
sex and social status.
