Navjot Singh Sidhu
Former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu is making a much-anticipated return to The Kapil Sharma Show after a five-year hiatus. Sidhu, a fan favorite, had been a staple on the popular comedy talk show for several seasons before stepping away in 2019 due to personal and professional commitments.
In an exciting teaser shared on his social media platforms, Sidhu can be seen marking his comeback to the beloved comedy show, much to the delight of his fans.
The teaser has already generated considerable buzz, showing Sidhu once again in the familiar setting of The Kapil Sharma Show, where he had long been a central figure.
In the teaser, Archana Puran Singh, who has filled Sidhu’s role during his absence, humorously requests Kapil to give her seat back to Sidhu, sparking laughter. This playful moment has left viewers eager to see how Sidhu’s return will impact the show’s dynamic.
Adding another twist, the teaser also features comedian Sunil Grover, who once portrayed Sidhu’s character on the show, joining in the fun and banter. His inclusion has added even more excitement for the audience, as Grover and Sidhu have both contributed significantly to the show’s success in their own ways.
The promo also includes a guest appearance by former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife, actress Geeta Basra, further boosting anticipation for the upcoming episodes. Harbhajan and Sidhu share a longstanding friendship, which is expected to bring an added layer of entertainment and camaraderie to the show.
Fans were quick to react to Sidhu’s teaser, expressing their joy and excitement on social media. Many long-time viewers have missed his signature laughter and witty commentary on the show.
While actress Archana Puran Singh has held Sidhu’s seat for the past five years, fans often speculated about whether Sidhu would ever return to the show. His comeback has finally answered their hopes.
Sidhu’s departure in 2019 came under controversial circumstances following a statement he made about the Pulwama attack, which led to a significant backlash. Protests erupted in India, with Hindu extremist groups demanding his removal from the show.
Under pressure, the show’s management eventually decided to part ways with him at the time. Despite the controversy, many fans continued to support Sidhu and hoped he would return to his role on The Kapil Sharma Show.
With his return now confirmed, fans are eager to see how Sidhu will reintegrate into the show’s setup and how his presence will enhance the comedic chemistry between him and Kapil Sharma once again.
His comeback is expected to breathe new life into the show, which has maintained its popularity even in his absence, but has always left room for his anticipated return.
