Archana Vs Sidhu: Reddit Debates Who's The Ultimate Judge On Kapil Sharma's Show
Navjot Singh Sidhu returns to The Great Indian Kapil Show after six years, joining Archana Puran Singh as a judge in season three on Netflix. Reddit users debate their preferences.
Former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu is back on Kapil Sharma's comedy show after a hiatus of six years. Archana Puran Singh had replaced him when Sidhu quit the show in 2019. In the third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, which is now streaming on Netflix, both Archana and Sidhu were roped in as the judges, promising double laughter. However, Reddit has an opinion on who's a better judge.
A Reddit user took to the platform to mention that Archana Puran Singh is no longer funny and is instead missed in films. The user is of the opinion that Navjot Singh Sidhu's one-liners and shayaris on the show is funnier. This created a debate on the platform, with netizens joining in the thread and sharing their opinion of the same.
In the comment, a netizen agreed to the post and wrote, 'Honestly I miss Archana the actress, she was so fabulous in Shreeman Shreemati as Prem Shalini." To this, another added, 'And De Dana Dan Loved her there torturing Akshay -gold." Others added to the comment thread naming some of her best works.
'She is there to be the punching bag of kapils jokes and laughing at his cringiest jokes so that when they see her laughing even audience should laugh even if it's not funny," opined another. Yet another user said, 'I recently started following Archana Puran Singh and her family's YouTube videos. It's a LOT less cringe than Kapil Sharma and the dynamic among the family members is very cute."
Some differed from the initial discussion post. A netizen wrote, 'I find Sidhu more annoying. The show itself has became irritating but good for Archana she is earning banks. She is there to give cue to the audience that they have to laugh, just like how older shows had laugh track. I don't mind her but ofcourse her actual talent which is acting especially in comedies is getting wasted. But her journey is quite interesting, She has survived in the industry for so long doing different gigs." Yet others said, 'I find Sidhu very irritating", 'I don't like Sidhu that much and like archana more than him".

Some also felt Sunita Ahuja, Govinda's wife, should replace Archana on the show.
In conclusion, both Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu bring their own fan base to the show. While some favour Archana, others prefer Sidhu's presence. Why do you think is the better judge on the show?
