Great Indian Kapil Show 3 returns with Sidhu's punchlines, Archana's laughs
The Great Indian Kapil Show is all set to return with a bang on Netflix India with Season 3 premiering on June 21 — and this time, there's a major twist! Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu is making a surprise comeback to the show, joining Archana Puran Singh in a double-judge twist that has left fans buzzing with excitement.
Ever since its announcement, The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 has been creating major buzz online. The much-awaited shoot is now underway, and the new season is all set to stream soon on Netflix.
The Great Indian Kapil Show 3: Shooting begins
The official announcement came with a hilarious twist – Netflix shared a promo video where Kapil Sharma teases Archana Puran Singh with the promise of a grand surprise for her contribution to two successful seasons.
An aspirational Archana can be seen hoping for a home, a car, or perhaps some Netflix equity shares, but her excitement wanes when she witnesses Navjot Singh Sidhu's poetic entrance into the program. Both Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu will co-judge The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, according to the trailer.
Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, and Sunil Grover will also be in the upcoming season. Alongside, the producers have recently filmed a new episode with Indian cricket players Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma, and Yuzvendra Chahal as fans wait to witness Kapil Sharma and his colleagues tickle their funny bones.
The entire crew just filmed with the 'Metro…In Dino' cast for the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show 3. Anupam Kher, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal are among the characters in the film.

Let the kids rot
Once upon a very real time not so long ago, Indian summers were about watching the clock slow down. As schools broke for the holidays, children shed their baggage of schedules and slipped into long lazy days filled with mangoes, mischief and that rare thing — unsupervised time. Days of chasing dragonflies and inventing games out of thin air, of lying on cool floors under creaky ceiling fans and watching the play of sunlight through the curtains, of turning cardboard boxes into doll's houses, of fighting and making up with siblings and cousins all in the span of an afternoon. It was, as the nostalgics would say, the golden age of boredom, and it was beautiful. The age of overachievement, however, transformed summer from a season of wonder into a gap to be filled with workshops, boot camps and other skill-building, prospect-enhancing activities, ranging from mindful movement to creative writing sessions. Screens crept in, too — glowing, addictive companions that turn idle time into something far more passive and far less magical. In chasing productivity, the poetry of those long days was slowly written over. Now, scarred by overpriced summer camps and stress-inducing hyper-structured productivity plans, the West has finally cottoned on to the joy of letting children do nothing for a few precious weeks. In the US, the phenomenon is being branded as 'summer kid rotting', a variant of 'bed rotting', that celebrates the unhurried and the purposeless while coaxing the modern parent, with her emphasis on over-optimisation, to step back and take a deep breath. The gentle rhythms of idle days, however, have always held a quiet wisdom. It allows friendships to steep into rich lifelong bonds, teaches children how to sit comfortably with themselves and makes room for curiosity and joy. Perhaps, the greatest gift adults can give children, then, is this freedom to waste a little time. After all, the best memories are often made not when everything adds up, but when nothing needs to.

Shifting Stands: Bengalureans opine on Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga controversy
The entire Indian film industry runs on a broken model – lead actors are massively overpaid, while writers, editors, and others who contribute just as much are underpaid. Yet, no one bats an eye when Rajinikanth charges `250 crore. Bringing it up during a spat only reveals how Vanga and his team seem more bothered when a woman demands the same sum that male leads have always gotten away with. She's a new mother caring for her 8-month-old baby. In contrast, many male stars come to sets on their own time, refuse multiple takes, and leave early – and no one calls them out. A mother requesting an 8-hour shift is simply asking for the bare minimum. But it's fair for a passionate filmmaker like Vanga (setting aside his politics) who expects full emotional commitment from actors to be hurt by Deepika's refusal to dub in Telugu. The team even rescheduled the shoot around her pregnancy. To wait that long, only to hear she won't dub, can be disappointing.
