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?

Looks like the Bangtan Boys are all having fun in Los Angeles! It is known that BTS is prepping for their highly anticipated spring 2026 comeback album in the USA, and they're leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the members' enviable physiques remain the top shape. Physical: 100 star Ma Sun Ho revealed how one by one the teammates joined V and Jungkook as they worked out together while staying in LA. How the members of BTS ended up getting ripped together A new video on singer Kim Jong Kook's YouTube channel showed him having a chat with bodybuilder Ma Sun Ho. The latter revealed about being on a business trip with the members of BTS to help them train their bodies while working on their group comeback album. He shared how initially it was only Kim Taehyung (V) and Jungkook who worked out, but learning of the fun they had together, leader Namjoon (RM) joined them. Slowly and surely, hearing about the interesting time they had, SUGA and Jimin joined the bunch, making for a group gym session. The Turbo star asked if Jungkook had bulked up, to which an update was provided about how the singer had indeed gained a lot of muscle (during his military service). Ma Sun Ho went as far as calling him 'almost a bodybuilder', and as a professional in the field, it was a huge compliment for the SEVEN singer. When Kim Jong Kook bragged about having V appear in one of his videos, the younger star revealed that the BTS member would appear on his YouTube channel soon. It seems that the entire team is having a jolly good time while working on their music and maintaining their bodies as well. Previously, RM had shared that V has managed to get buff during his time in the SDT arm of the South Korean military. He went on to praise his physique further, sharing that it was better than his own and even Jungkook's, who was known to be the most muscular in the team. With the members' recent fondness for going shirtless every chance they get- we're looking at you, J-Hope- the day when all seven of them show off their toned physiques together is not too far!
