Sunil Grover Stuns Screen Awards as Javed Akhtar

At the Screen Awards 2026, comedian Sunil Grover delivered a standout performance, leaving the audience in stitches with his uncanny impersonation of lyricist Javed Akhtar. Grover playfully took the stage, initially seeking forgiveness from Akhtar before launching into his act. He cleverly adapted his persona, referring to himself as 'Javed Athatar,' a witty play on words.

Seated in the audience, Javed Akhtar himself was visibly amused, reacting with a smile to Grover's performance, while Raj Babbar was seen laughing heartily. The event also saw Farah Khan join Grover on stage, further enhancing the lighthearted atmosphere.
