Sidhu recounted his days as a judge on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, where Kapil Sharma rose to fame. He further mentioned that after the show, Kapil joined Comedy Circus, where, according to Sidhu, 'he was being exploited and lacked an individual identity.'
Sidhu also recalled participating in Bigg Boss for just a month to earn money to buy a house in Amritsar. After his eviction, he said the then head of Colors, Raj Nayak, agreed to give Kapil a solo show only if Sidhu joined in. Kapil then created Comedy Nights With Kapil, with Dharmendra as the first guest. The show went on to become a massive success. However, Sidhu revealed that due to politics and conspiracies, he had to step away from it.

He said, "Wherever I went, people used to ask me, 'Why aren't you returning to The Kapil Sharma Show?' And then, with hard work and destiny aligning, I got the show back when I appeared again. The love that episode received... Coming back to The Great Indian Kapil Show now feels like a Home run and homecoming."
Speaking about Archana Puran Singh, who had replaced him on the show, Sidhu said he made sure to address about her before returning, 'Maine Archana ji ke liye bhi baat kari thi. Ki main Durga ka bhakt hoon, yeh kaise ho sakta hai ki unke dil ko thes pahuncha ke main wapas aaun. Vo farmaish bhi maan li and she is with me on the show. Thank you for all the love and affection. I feel honoured to be back on this show (I had also spoken to Archana ji. I am a devotee of Durga — how could I return by hurting her feelings? I fulfilled that request as well, and she is with me on the show).'
The first season premiered on Netflix in 2024. Following the success of two seasons, the third is now set to premiere on June 21. The show features Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Sunil Grover, and Kiku Sharda. This season brings a new twist, offering fans a chance to showcase their talent on stage in every episode.

BTS' 12th Anniversary: RM aka Kim Namjoon pens emotional letter for ARMYs, says 'I truly didn't this day would come'
BTS leader RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, is back and his heartfelt words on the group's 12th anniversary (June 13) are already resonating deeply with ARMY. Fresh off his military discharge on June 10, Namjoon shared a touching handwritten letter on Weverse just minutes after the clock struck midnight in South Korea, reflecting on the group's journey, his personal growth, and the long-awaited reunion just around the corner. Happy birthday, BTS: RM gets candid in new note RM began his letter with a warm 'Happy birthday, BTS,' acknowledging the emotional weight of June 13—also known as BTS' debut anniversary. 'Somehow, 613 has come around again,' he wrote. 'Last year's 613 was really not easy, and now 250613 has arrived. I have truly been waiting more than any of you.' The phrase '250613,' symbolizing June 13, 2025, marked a bittersweet full-circle moment—12 years since BTS first debuted. With a mix of humour and sentiment, he likened the group turning 12 to 'a nephew in my multiverse,' adding, 'I'm so glad you've grown up so well.' Sharing that June 13 also happens to be his younger sibling's birthday, RM revealed he spent time with family before sitting down to pen the letter, pressing hard enough to 'break the pencil lead.' A time to look back and ahead He referenced a book titled An Experiment in Accurate Love, reflecting on the challenge of giving and receiving love in a sincere and meaningful way—something he feels deeply with ARMY but continues to question. 'To be loved accurately and to love accurately. That seemingly impossible task, I've always wanted to achieve it.' The journey continues with you by his side The letter closes with RM inviting fans to continue walking this journey with him. 'Once again, I'm going to try to go somewhere, though I don't know where… I want to walk together with romance. Will you join me?' He poetically described moving forward like 'Huckleberry Finn,' pushing through exhaustion, insomnia, and confusion—all made bearable thanks to the fans. 'Thanks to you, I endured, and thanks to you, I stubbornly walked on.' Namjoon ended with a humble acknowledgment of his own flaws and gratitude: 'Becoming talkative is also a sign of clumsy love, so please look upon it kindly… We will truly try to do better once more. Thank you for giving us the opportunity. And I love you.' BTS reunion just days away RM's letter comes at a poignant time. With Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook, and RM all officially discharged, the only member still completing service is SUGA, whose discharge is scheduled for June 21. The full group reunion—something fans have waited nearly three years for—will finally become reality. As BTS prepares for its long-anticipated comeback, RM's words serve as both a love letter and a quiet promise: no matter how unclear the road ahead may seem, they're ready to walk it again—with ARMY right beside them.

Gang rivalry, betrayal, and revenge: The inside story of Sidhu Moosewala's murder
A new documentary titled The Killing Call has shed more light on the murder of Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in broad daylight on May 29, 2022. The documentary includes revelations from Goldy Brar, a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who claimed responsibility for ordering the killing. According to Brar, Sidhu Moosewala was allegedly involved in the murder of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera, who was a close associate and mentor to both Lawrence Bishnoi and Brar. This, Brar says, was the main reason Moosewala was targeted. Sidhu Moosewala, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, rose to fame for his bold lyrics, flashy persona, and powerful commentary on Punjab's social and political issues. Originally from a small village in Punjab, he moved to Canada in 2016 to study engineering. He quickly gained international recognition, with more than five billion views on YouTube and collaborations with global artists like Burna Boy. Despite his fame, Moosewala's name became entangled in Punjab's ongoing gang rivalries. In The Killing Call, Brar revealed that Moosewala had a friendly relationship with Lawrence Bishnoi dating back to 2018. 'Lawrence was in touch with Sidhu. I don't know who introduced them, and I never asked, but they did speak. Sidhu used to send 'good morning' and 'good night' messages to flatter Lawrence,' Brar said. A close friend of Moosewala, who did not want to be named, confirmed the connection. 'Sidhu said Lawrence Bishnoi called me. Lawrence called him from jail. He said Lawrence liked his music and said Sidhu was doing really well. The communication between the two started in 2017-2018, and continued until after Sidhu moved back to India," the friend said.
