Why did he leave the show?
Navjot Singh Sidhu was quite popular among fans because of his clever one-liners, poetic humor, and contagious laughter. He was a regular on Kapil Sharma’s previous shows. But in 2019, Archana Puran Singh took his place.
The statement that “nations cannot be held responsible for the dastardly acts of terrorists,” made by Sidhu, sparked a great deal of criticism, pushing him to quit the show.
Recently, Sidhu broke his silence during an interview on the YouTube channel “The Grain Talk Show.” He revealed that there were more reasons behind his departure than just his controversial comments.
He cited “political reasons” as one of the causes but refrained from delving into details. He expressed his admiration for Kapil Sharma, calling him a “genius,” and shared his desire to see the original team reunite. “The show is a bouquet made by God. I wish that bouquet gets together again,” he said.
