The third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show premiered on June 21 with a major surprise for fans the return of the original laughter king, Navjot Singh Sidhu. His comeback created quite a stir, especially since he joined Archana Puran Singh on the judge’s couch, forming a “double dhamaka” comedy court.
Kapil Welcomes Sidhu with His Trademark Humor
Host Kapil Sharma opened the show with his classic wit, teasing Netflix for splurging to bring Sidhu back. “I want to thank Netflix for giving us that much budget that we could afford Sidhu paaji,” he joked, setting the tone for the rest of the episode.
Continuing his playful banter, Kapil asked Sidhu how it felt to return after so many years, saying, “Paaji, you are back on the show after so many years, bhale hi gathbandhan ki sarkar bani ho (even if it’s a coalition government).”
Shayari, Banter, and Friendly Jabs
True to his style, Sidhu responded with a shayari that hinted at his and Kapil’s Amritsar roots, lightly teasing Archana, who hails from Dehradun. Kapil didn’t miss a beat and joked about Archana’s supposed insecurity:
“Jyotish ko jaake kehti hai, Rahu aur Ketu ko toh main sambhal lungi, ye Sidhu ka koi upay batao…”

Kapil also ribbed Sidhu for taking too long to sign the show, saying he had to take a six-month break waiting for him. Sidhu laughed and quipped, “Be glad it was just six months imagine what you’d do if it lasted nine!”
Kapil ended the exchange with a cheeky comment about Sidhu’s timing in life events.
Fan-Favorites Reunite
Alongside Kapil and Sidhu, the show also marks the return of Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda, promising another season packed with laughs and nostalgia.
