Reunion of Laughter Legends

Sidhu’s return marks a heartfelt homecoming. He previously served as a key figure on Comedy Nights with Kapil, The Kapil Sharma Show, and Family Time with Kapil Sharma until his exit in 2019 due to political controversy. Archana Puran Singh graciously stepped into his seat then, and her hearty, infectious laughter has since become a highlight of Kapil’s comedy universe.

Now, both personalities will share the same stage again, reviving that signature trio dynamic. Kapil himself celebrated the reunion, saying:

“Har Funnyvaar badhega Humaara parivaar … stay tuned because this season jokes aur laughter dono ho gayein hain triple!”

Sidhu echoed this sentiment, calling it a “home run” and expressing his gratitude, humorously and poetically, for his return to the people’s show.

What This Season Brings

Season 3 promises an upgraded comedy experience with several exciting new features:

Two-judge setup: Sidhu joins Archana, creating a dynamic comedic duo that blends witty banter and poetic shayaris.
Superfan spotlight: Selected fans get to join the judges and Kapil onstage, performing and interacting live.
Star-studded guests: The premiere will feature the cast of Metro In Dino, including Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, and Neena Gupta.
Cricket special episode: An episode with Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma, and Yuzvendra Chahal has reportedly been filmed—Sidhu will step in for Archana in that segment, intensifying the cricket-infused fun.
