Sunil Pal's wife Sarita Pal stated on Wednesday (December 4) that the veteran comedian has returned home safely after getting 'kidnapped'. Yes, you read that right. Sarita made several shocking claims about the time Sunil went missing.

Sarita informed ETimes, "Sunil ji is back home, Sunil ji gave his statement about kidnappers to police after coming. Police is helping and supporting us, everything is fine with him, rest of the matter we will soon open up to our well-wishers once police allow us after complete statement procedure and FIR."

While filing a missing complaint with the Mumbai police, Sarita said, "Police are helping us. We have traced him. We will soon update you once he is with us. We want to understand what happened to him. He is also very disturbed. We could speak to him."

Sarita approached the Santacruz police on Tuesday (December 3) and stated that her husband had travelled outside Mumbai for a show and was supposed to return on Tuesday, but he did not.

She also stated that when she tried to reach him on call, his phone was unreachable, and later, it got switched off.

Reportedly, a friend of the comedian stated that he was in a "problem". Trade analyst Girish Wankhede informed TOI, "He (Sunil) told me there was a problem, but he is out of it." However, he did not reveal what the 'problem' exactly was.

Sunil shot to fame and became a household name after he participated in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in 2005. He was declared the winner of the show. Later, he also hosted The Great Indian Comedy Show, and participated in comedy reality shows like Comedy Champions, and Comedy Circus Ke SuperStars.

Besides standup, Sunil also worked in films like Hum Tum, Phir Hera Pheri, Apna Sapna Money Money, Bombay To Goa, Krazzy 4 and Kick.
