Archana Puran Singh on Kapil Sharma's struggles

After Yashraj mentioned that he is a big fan of Kapil Sharma and still believes he is underrated, Archana responded, “That’s so sweet. Main Kapil ko bolungi. He is supremely talented, he still surprises me with his punches. Have been seeing him since 15 years. Usmein bahut depth hai, itna humour aa hi nahi sakta agar aapmein depth na ho (You can’t be this funny if you don’t have depth).”

She further spoke about Kapil’s difficult childhood, saying, “If you can make someone laugh, there has to be a lot of tears within you. Kapil ne itni struggle dekhi hai. His childhood was spent in a lot of poverty, his father died of cancer, so there were a lot of struggles. But then, he got such a talent that he can make the world laugh.”

In the same vlog, Archana also addressed the long-standing joke about her “excessive laughter” on comedy shows such as The Great Indian Kapil Show and Comedy Circus. She revealed that during Comedy Circus, her laughter was often edited in by the makers—even when the punchline wasn’t funny—which made her look “really ridiculous.” However, she clarified that this no longer happens.
