The makers of The Great Indian Kapil Show announced on Monday (June 9) that former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu will be joining the cast for the third season of the popular Netflix sketch comedy talk show. The exciting news was shared on the streaming platform’s official Instagram page.
“Ek kursi paaji ke liye please. Har Funnyvaar Badhega Humara Parivaar with the comeback of Navjot Singh Sidhu & Archana Puran Singh. Watch them in the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, streaming from 21st June at 8 PM only on Netflix,” the post read. Sidhu has previously made guest appearances on Kapil Sharma’s comedy shows, including Comedy Nights with Kapil, The Kapil Sharma Show, and Family Time With Kapil Sharma. He was replaced by actress Archana Puran Singh on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2019 due to “political reasons.”
