Gaurav Gera joins Colors' Comedy Nights With Kapil as Dulaari and not Gutthi

The popular GEC Colors has been on a desperate lookout for another Gutthi ever since Sunil Grover (who earlier played Gutthi) walked out of Comedy Nights with Kapil (K9 and SOL Productions) to move to greener pastures. And with the news coming of Sunil finalizing his show with a rival channel, Colors promptly went on to send him a legal notice claiming their right over ‘Gutthi’ and the water thus tuned murkier between them. But all of it has been reported to death and thus leaving bygones past us, we are here to give you latest updates on the show. As soon as we opened our eyes in the morning sunshine, we were greeted with news on a national publication about the talented actor Gaurav Gera roped in to replace Sunil. Well before your thoughts reach far, let us burst your thought bubble. The news is not true! Gaurav is not playing Gutthi!!! Yes, the actor has definitely joined hands with the show, but that was just for a particular episode. “Yes, I shot for an episode of Comedy Nights With Kapil yesterday (25 November 2013),” informed Gaurav. And confirming about him not playing the new Gutthi, Gaurav averred, “Gutthi was my favourite too and I am sure everybody is waiting for her comeback; but am not playing Gutthi. My character’s name is Dulaari. She is a street-smart girl and has entered Kapil’s house to meet the celebrities by fooling Lachcha (Kiku Sharda).” So do we see you as a permanent character on the show? “For this you’ll have to wait. Talks are on but nothing is confirmed yet,” the actor quipped. And an interesting revelation- Yesterday, we had put a poll asking our readers who they felt could step in Gutthi’s shoes best, and we are so proud of our readers who had chosen Gaurav as the replacement. Hi-five TC readers, you’ve once again proven your mettle. And even if it’s not Gutthi we are sure Gaurav who had earlier played a sexy woman in Colors’ Mrs. Pammi Pyarelal will spread magic on the show with his impeccable acting prowess.
