Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur, and Archana Puran Singh are gearing up for Season 2 of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’. As they prepare for the premiere, the cast is actively promoting the show. In an interview, Archana shared insights into her signature hearty laughter on the show and the unusual requests she receives to laugh loudly. She also discussed her remuneration in comparison to her fellow cast members.
In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, Archana Puran Singh addressed her role as a permanent guest on ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’. When Kiku Sharda expressed concerns about the effort he puts into his performance—donning costumes, applying elaborate makeup, memorising lines, and performing—while Archana is paid simply to laugh, Archana responded with a laugh, “Paise ye log double le jate hai. Toh sahi hai na mehnat karo bhai. (These people earn double the money, so they must do the hard work). I get paid for laughing, while they’re compensated for their hard work. Some are paid for their beauty, others for their talent, but I’m fortunate to be paid for all of that.”
Sunil Grover complimented Archana, calling her “infectious” in her personality. When discussing her distinctive laughter, Archana cited actresses like Deepika Padukone and Kajol, noting, “Many women have loud laughs, but my laughter is prominent because I have so many chances to laugh on the show.”
