The jury is still out on whether comedian Sunil Grover has quit the Kapil Sharma show.

But Grover did not shoot show on Monday after allegedly being assaulted by the TV personality on board a flight, reported India Forum.

India Forum cited sources close to the production in the report, stating that Grover is no longer part of Sharma's show.

Kapil Sharma tweeted an apology on Monday night that Sunil Grover appears to have acknowledged. The Kapil Sharma Show is headlined by comedian and actor Kapil Sharma while Sunil Grover played the role of characters like Dr Mashoor Gulati and Rinku Bhabhi. Earlier, he featured as Gutthi in Kapil Sharma's previous show Comedy Nights With Kapil. The actors are believed to have been involved in a showdown onboard a flight recently.

Mr Sharma allegedly attacked Grover, say eyewitnesses.

On Monday, it was reported that Grover was on the brink of exiting the show. A source told Mid Day that Grover is "numbed" by his co-star's allegedly abusive behaviour.

"Sunil is numbed by the way Kapil assaulted him during a flight from Melbourne, where they did a stage show. He was merely trying to calm down Kapil, who was drunk and hurling abuses at another team member, Chandan (Prabhakar)," mid-day quoted the source as saying.
