After a blockbuster episode featuring Narayana and Sudha Murthy alongside Deepinder and Gia Goyal, The Great Indian Kapil Show is set to entertain audiences with yet another eagerly awaited episode. Host Kapil Sharma will reunite with former co-host Navjot Singh Sidhu, marking Sidhu’s return to the popular comedy platform after a long hiatus.

Sneak Peek: Sidhu’s Return and Archana’s Reaction

A newly released promo showcases Sidhu making a comeback in the guest judge’s chair. The teaser adds a humorous twist as Kapil jokes that Sunil Grover, known for his impersonations, might be donning Sidhu’s look again. However, Sidhu quickly confirms he’s the real deal, stirring excitement among fans who have missed his signature style.

The promo also gives viewers a glimpse of Archana Puran Singh, who replaced Sidhu in 2019. Nervously, she jokes with Kapil about Sidhu’s potential takeover of her spot, highlighting the playful rivalry that has kept audiences entertained over the years. Archana’s spirited exchange with Sidhu is expected to add to the episode’s comedy quotient.

A Star-Studded Lineup

The upcoming episode will also feature cricket star Harbhajan Singh and his wife, actor Geeta Basra. Sunil Grover, known for his comedic versatility, will join the cast as well, reprising his Sidhu-inspired character in a hilarious double act. With Sidhu, Harbhajan, and Sunil sharing the stage, the episode promises a blend of nostalgia, cricket anecdotes, and laughter.

The Story Behind Sidhu’s Exit

Navjot Singh Sidhu, former cricketer and television personality, was a key member of The Kapil Sharma Show until his departure in 2019. His exit came after controversial remarks he made following the Pulwama attack in February 2019. Sidhu, while condemning terrorism, expressed that terrorism should not be associated with an entire nation, advocating for dialogue over hostility. The comments sparked public backlash, leading to widespread calls for his removal from the show. Amid the controversy, Sidhu was eventually replaced by Archana Puran Singh, who has since become a staple on the show.

This special episode, scheduled for next weekend, is anticipated to draw viewers eager to witness Sidhu’s return and the comic chemistry between Kapil, Sidhu, and Archana, along with the star guest appearances.
