Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) 

Standup comedian Kapil Sharma says he can't force Sunil Grover aka Gutthi of "Comedy Nights With Kapil" to stay back on the show. However, he doesn't want rumours to vitiate the atmosphere.

Kapil took to microblogging website Twitter to put an end to speculation that there is a rift between him and Sunil.

"I love Sunil and Gutthi. They are always welcome in the show. I can just request him. Can't force him...But whatever...I love him...Please don't spread rumours," he tweeted.

Though sources from the channel have revealed that Sunil has not left the show but is on a holiday, he will soon be seen creating a laugh riot at the Zee Rishtey Awards 2013.

Sunil's character Gutthi won the audience's heart with her brilliant introduction sequence and also her signature song "Aap aaye hain hamare ghar mein, phool khile hain gulshan gulshan...". Then there were other Gutthi specials like "Juice me!". 

Gutthi is an integral part of Kapil's show which is aired on Colors. 

If sources from the channel are to be believed, talks are still on with Sunil to hold him back from leaving the show.
