Navjot Singh Sidhu Rejoined Kapil Sharma’s Show for a Special Episode
After a notable absence, Navjot Singh Sidhu made a special appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, reuniting with host Kapil Sharma and the show’s crew. Sidhu was previously a regular judge on the show until his exit in 2019, where he was replaced by Archana Puran Singh.
During this much-anticipated reunion, Kapil extended an invitation for Sidhu to return as a cast member for the upcoming third season. Following Sidhu’s joyful return to the episode, Kapil reminded viewers of Sidhu’s significant role on the show, before proposing that both he and Archana could serve as judges in the new season.
Sidhu expressed profound joy at his return, describing it as one of the highlight moments of his life. He emphasized the show’s importance to him and the audience, stating, “This show is not just Kapil’s; it is the show of the whole country. God created it, and it’s a bouquet with unique fragrances, where every flower represents something special. Before I leave this earth, I hope to see all these flowers together once more, alongside Archana.”
In response, Kapil warmly welcomed Sidhu back, referring to him as the essential “flower pot” that the show needs. He then asked the audience if they wanted to see Sidhu return, to which they responded with enthusiastic cheers.
Sidhu indicated that he would be willing to join the third season of the Netflix adaptation of the show, contingent on Archana sitting beside him, reinforcing their strong camaraderie.
The Circumstances Surrounding Sidhu’s Departure
Historically, Sidhu’s exit from The Kapil Sharma Show took place in 2019 under controversial circumstances. Reports at the time suggested that he was asked to leave following his remarks about the Pulwama attack, which were deemed inappropriate. Archana Puran Singh subsequently took over his position.
In a recent discussion on The Grain Talk Show, Sidhu acknowledged that political factors played a significant part in his departure, though he refrained from diving into specific details. “There were political reasons I don’t want to discuss. Other factors contributed as well, leading to a disbandment of the bouquet. My desire is to see that bouquet come together again. I’m more than willing to facilitate that. Kapil’s show continues to thrive, and he is a true genius,” he remarked.
