He’s made millions laugh with his razor-sharp wit, but Sudesh Lehri’s latest role might be his sweetest yet. The comedian, known for stealing scenes in shows like The Kapil Sharma Show and films like Ready, just became a grandfather. His son Mani and daughter-in-law welcomed a baby boy, and Sudesh’s Instagram post said it all—a tiny hand gripping his finger with the caption, “The new member of our family #grandson.”
Fans and celebs flooded the comments. Krishna Abhishek, his old Comedy Circus partner, joked, “Now agree that it’s become official!” Bharti Singh, Sonu Nigam, and others chimed in with heart emojis. Mani, a YouTuber who once appeared on Laughter Chefs, hasn’t shared details yet, but the family’s clearly over the moon.
From stand-up to stardom
Sudesh’s career took off after The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in 2007. He became a household name with Comedy Circus, teaming up with Krishna for riotous sketches. Later, Comedy Nights Bachao let him roast celebs with a grin. TV wasn’t enough—he jumped to films, cracking jokes in Ready and Total Dhamaal.
What’s next?
Between diaper duty and dad jokes, Sudesh hasn’t slowed down. He’s still a regular on comedy stages, and fans hope for more film cameos. For now, though, the spotlight’s on that tiny hand in his—proof even comedians get soft sometimes.
