Early life
Sunil Pal came to Mumbai in 1995 when his father (who then used to work
with Indian Railways) got transferred. He studied in Janata Vidyalaya city
branch Ballarpur school. He joined the Junior College. There he used to
mimic his professors and famous actors. After college, he struggled for
three years.
Early Career
During one of his interviews, he says that "I was working at a tea stall
in Santacruz as waiter. Those days I'd sleep on the footpath. And I used
to use the telephones of a nearby shop to keep in touch with my contacts
in film industry." In 2000, Sunil got a chance to do a world tour with Aamir
Khan (for Lagaan) as a junior artist. He was also involved in other tours
of famous actors like Priety Zinta, Aishwarya Rai.
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge
Later Sunil Pal contested in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, and won
the competition. He was the favourite of viewers, who were enthralled by
his remarkable ability of impersonating many film actors (like Sunil Shetty,
Nana Patekar, Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, and Irfan Khan)
with commanding progress. In addition, his self-created character of the
drunkard "Ratan Noora" was widely admired.
Bollywood Career
