Archana Puran Singh Makes BIG Claim, Says Kapil Sharma Show Cast Gets Double Her Paycheck: 'Paise Yeh Log...'

Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur and Archana Puran Singh will return for Season 2 of The Great Indian Kapil Show soon. The team is busy promoting the show. In a recent interview, Archana talked about her famous laughter and the strange requests she gets to laugh loudly. She also mentioned her pay compared to the other cast members.

Archana opened up on her role as a permanent guest on the show, while Kiku was asked if he feels frustrated putting in effort for costumes and performances while Archana is paid just for laughing. She said, “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’m getting paid to laugh, and they’re getting paid for their hard work. Some get paid for their beauty, others for their talent, but I get paid for all of that.”

Speaking of Archana Puran Singh’s personality, Sunil Grover praised her and said, “Archana ji’s personality is infectious.” Regarding her laughter, Archana mentioned actresses like Deepika Padukone and Kajol, saying, “A lot of women laugh loudly. My laughter stands out because I get so many opportunities to laugh on the show.”

However, Archana talked about awkward moments when people ask her to laugh loudly in real life. She said, “We live normally. Matlab mein paglon ki tarah akele hasti nahi rehti (I don’t laugh alone like a mad person). Sometimes, people meet me while I’m shopping and say, ‘Aree Archana ji, aap has nahi rahi‘ (You’re not laughing, Archana ji). It’s so irritating. Some have even asked me to laugh loudly when they’re clicking a photo. I’m not a mad person, and I’ve walked away from such situations.”

The second season of The Great Indian Kapil Show will premiere on Netflix on September 21. The upcoming season will be graced by several celebrities including Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar. Members of the winning T20 Indian cricket team will also make an appearance in the show with their captain, Rohit Sharma.
