Here’s Why Navjot Singh Sidhu Quit The Kapil Sharma Show?

On Kapil Sharma’s comedy show, now known as “The Great Indian Kapil Show” (TGIKS), former Judge Navjot Singh Sidhu is scheduled to make a grand comeback.

While Archana Puran Singh will remain the ‘laughing’ judge, Sidhu will be a special guest in the upcoming episode, which will be available on Netflix this Saturday, November 16.

Other guests for this episode will be Navjot Singh Siddhu’s wife, Navjot Kaur, as well as former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and his wife, Geeta Basra.

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.

Siddhu is Back!

This year is special for the cast of Kapil Sharma show, recently Kapil reunited with Sunil Grover putting an end to a long controversy.

And now, the OG ‘laughing buddha’ of the show, Siddhu is back!

The makers of TGIKS teased Sidhu’s comeback earlier this week calling it the “biggest surprise of the season.” Navjot Singh Sidhu also shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the set on his Instagram.
