Kapil did not miss the opportunity to take a dig at Archana. “Sidhu na bolna, unko darr lagta hai (Don’t say the name Sidhu, she gets scared),” Kapil told Sidharth, leaving Archana in splits. Her replacement of Navjot Singh Sidhu as a permanent guest on The Kapil Sharma Show has been a long-running gag.


Archana and Kapil often take playful digs at each other. On Tuesday, she shared a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show, in which she teased him about his ‘paunch’, while he joked that she posts about the cast members only to increase her followers on Instagram.

The Kapil Sharma Show returned with a new season last month. The show went off the air in February as Kapil took paternity leave to spend time with his newborn son Trishaan, wife Ginni Chatrath and daughter Anayra.

Directed by Vishnu Varadhan, the film opened to largely positive reviews and recently became Amazon Prime Video’s most-watched film in India.

Reacting to the achievement, Sidharth wrote on Instagram, “Overwhelmed with the love and appreciation that we are receiving for #Shershaah. Thank you everyone for making it the most watched film on @primevideoin #FeelingBlessed #YehDilMaangeMore.”
