Archana Puran Singh shares a warm camaraderie with Kapil Sharma, having witnessed his rise from a budding comedian on Comedy Circus to a household name. Over the years, their bond has grown stronger through shows like Comedy Nights With Kapil and now Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. Recently, Archana addressed Kapil’s running joke about her getting paid just to laugh, clarifying it’s all in good humour and part of their long-standing, affectionate on-screen rapport.
Archana Puran Singh addresses Kapil Sharma’s ‘getting paid to laugh’ remark
For those unaware, a few years ago, during one of his show’s segments, Kapil Sharma jokingly remarked that Archana Puran Singh gets paid only to laugh in the show. While it did not initially sit well with the audience, it has now become a recurring gag between the two. The actress addressed the same in one of her recent YouTube vlogs, which have become quite popular now. Archana said that most of Kapil’s remarks on his shows are meant for lighthearted banter and jokes that pack a punch, but people tend to take them seriously. In her words:
“Now it’s become a joke. Kapil makes jokes about everything, people take it seriously. I don’t because I know the name of the game is make a punch, get a laugh out of it, and move on.”
