New Delhi: After a much anticipated five-year hiatus, Navjot Singh Sidhu has finally returned to ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’. Even though he isn't a permanent judge this time around, the internet is going absolutely crazy about the reunion of the show's favourite cast with the former cricketer. Archana Puran Singh has been the judge of Kapil Sharma’s reality chat show since Navjot Singh Sidhu quit in 2018.
In the most recent episode teaser, Navjot Singh Sidhu is shown having a light-hearted moment while sitting in Archana Puran Singh's chair.
Sidhu jokes, saying, “Ab motorcycle nahi, car chahiye, abey audience saari keh rahi hai ki sardaar chahiye (Now they don't want a motorcycle, they want a car, the audience is saying they want a Sardar)”, referring to audience's wish to appoint him as a judge.
He gives Archana a hug and she jokes with him about how he left at the right time. Archana can be heard saying, “Main hamesha aapko duaein deti hu ke aap sahi waqt pe yahan se nikal gaye (I always pray that you left from here at the right time)”.

Navjot Singh Sidhu was a popular cast member on Colors' 2013 debut of 'The Kapil Sharma Show'. Many fans loved him because of his charisma and clever humour. His critical remarks after the Pulwama tragedy in 2019 led to his removal from the show. Archana Puran Singh took his position after that.
For fans of the program, Sidhu's comeback has brought back a flood of memories. He will be appearing as a special guest on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' on Netflix.
