So yesterday, Arjun Rampal finally made it to The Kapil Sharma Show
(aired on Sony) at Film City, after Kapil sent him back the other day- but
there was more drama to unfold. Navjot Singh Sidhu's iconic chair was
conspicious by his absence- but there was someone else sitting in his place-
the popular TV comedienne Archana Puran Singh.
Sidhu On His Iconic Chair In The Kapil Sharma Show
The story goes that the "often unwell' Kapil made the
replacement on Saturday night when he
learned that Sidhu was running fever and would probably not make it to the
shoot slated for Sunday.
We hear, Sidhu was grossly upset with Kapil's decision to induct Archana
and had a big showdown with him on the phone, this morning.

Kapil tried to explain, but Sidhu would not take it lying down.
SpotboyE.com has it that after Sidhu's call, Kapil's team immediately informed
Archana to not report on the sets today for the Jacqueline Fernandez-Sidharth
Malhotra shoot scheduled for today. It is obvious that Sidhu issued an
ultimatum: Me and nobody else.
Navjot Singh Sidhu And Kapil Sharma
Think of it, Kapil could have waited for Sidhu to be fine and shot the
episode with Arjun as late asWednesday/Thursday. It maybe recalled that Sidhu has adjusted his
schedule to suit Kapil's timings so often in the past, even if it required him
to land in Mumbai (he stays in Delhi) late in the night. Often in the past,
episodes have been shot about 36-48 hours before telecast and edited
successfully. One can't overlook the instances in the past when Sidhu was
indisposed and cutouts of his picture were put on his chair, Lekin Kapil ko
kaun samjhaye aur kaun yaad dilaye? Ms Puran Singh episode kar chuki thi and he
got the rough end of the stick from Sidhu.
And what about Archana? How is she feeling about Kapil's change of plans
induced by Sidhu? Well, the lady is certainly not amused. She replied 'Good'
when we asked her on text 'How are you, Archana?' but went absolutely mum when
we asked her what she felt about Kapil's team fixing her up for today's shoot
and then asking her to remain away?
For those not in the know, Sidhu dislikes Archana for some reason and
the entire unit of The Kapil Sharma Show knows this. All the more reason to ask
Kapil: Yeh tune kyun kiya?
Of course, the show must go on and so it will, with smiles on Kapil and Siddhu's faces. Mind you, Siddhu did not respond to neither our calls nor our text message which clearly spelt out the story.
