The Kapil Sharma Show: Navjot Singh Sidhu returns and threatens Archana Puran Singh, but there’s a catch

There’s no denying that Navjot Singh Sidhu used to cast a spell on us with his unmatched charm. His inimitable laughter, shero-shayari and witty one-liners would mesmerise the audience every single time. But the former cricketer was ousted after his remark on the Pulwama attack and replaced by Archana Puran Singh on the show. Since then, Archana seems to have become a permanent fixture. But it looks like Sidhu is going to return on the show and threaten Archana for taking over his seat. But, there’s a catch.

Kapil Sharma recently shared a video on his Instagram wherein he is seen dressed as Sidhu. Wearing his typical silk kurta-pyjama, Sidhu comes on stage looking for Sapna (Krushna Abhishek). He then asks her if she can deliver his message to Archana. When Sapna asks what message, Sidhu, in the very next moment, hands over a brick to Sapna and asks her to deliver it on Archana’s head. Sapna then breaks into laughter and adds, “She laughs a lot, it will be a lot of fun.”

Unlike fiction shows, The Kapil Sharma Show involves the audience too. Now, there is no live audience. They have been replaced by cardboard cut-outs. “For all these years that I have been working, the audience has played a huge role in my success. Whenever I perform, I get a reaction and that helps me build on it further. Since we can’t host audience on set (due to the pandemic), you will see cardboard cut-outs of audience reactions now. It does feel incomplete to shoot without an audience, however, Archana (Puran) ji makes up for it — she and her laughter are equal to 100 people on set,” Kapil Sharma quipped.

He further added, “Technology has helped him to “engage with people without their actual presence”. People can now get in touch with us and express their interest and we will be more than happy to video call them. Not just them, we can interact with their whole family through this call,” he shared.

There are other safety measures too taken by the team on set. “From sanitisation to temperature checks and people working in PPE suits, we are taking all preventive measures in our capacity while shooting. Personally, we are all very careful and conscious. Our display of affection has also changed. Now we consciously maintain a distance and greet each other with a namaste. We shoot with a limited number of crew and even our personal staff who accompanies us on the set is minimum. “We have a hand sanitiser readily available on the stage for guests. But it gets used by Archana ji more often than not,” he quipped.

Take a look.
