Ace comedian Kapil Sharma, who has never refrained from showing his love and respect for his counterpart Sunil Grover since his departure from "The Kapil Sharma Show" after their fight, on Thursday wished him on his 40th birthday.

"Wish you a very happy birthday Sunil Grover paji... May God bless you with all the happiness of this world. Lots of love always," Kapil tweeted.

Sunil was part of the hit ensemble of comedians on Kapil's show, until the news came that Kapil allegedly assaulted and abused him in an inebriated state while on a flight from Australia earlier this year.

Since then, the two have remained tight-lipped about their fight.

However, Kapil, in a live chat on Twitter, earlier revealed that he misses spending time with Sunil. He also said that Sunil is like brother to him and he would welcome him with open arms whenever he decides to return to the show.
