Archana Puran Singh admits she is paid to enjoy the show. <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Archana Puran Singh and Kapil Sharma<\/a> share a strong comfort bond, often reflected in the on-stage banters. Archana, known for her remarkable comic timing, has witnessed Kapil\u2019s rise from Comedy Circus to Netflix\u2019s The Great Indian Kapil Show. A few years ago, the comedian jokingly gagged about how Archana gets paid only to laugh in the show. As it sat well with the audience, this remark has become a running joke on the show.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with The Indian Express, the actress opened up about Kapil\u2019s popular gag and revealed that she is also unaware of her role in the comedy show. Archana stated, \u201cNow it\u2019s become a joke. Kapil makes jokes about everything, people take it seriously. I don\u2019t because I know the name of the game is make a punch, get a laugh out of it, and move on.”<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old actress further said, \u201cYes, I am paid to judge a comedy show, which is what I initially started doing with Comedy Circus. Now, I am paid to not judge Kapil\u2019s show, but to be a celebrity guest. I don\u2019t even know what my role is. Kapil only keeps joking. How am I paid to laugh? In a way, I am paid to enjoy the show, and because my enjoyment is very loud and spontaneous, it translates to I am paid to laugh.”<\/p>\n

Archana Puran Singh added that now her sons Aryamann and Ayushmaan have started throwing similar punches at her, mimicking Kapil Sharma\u2019s gags. \u201cThen my kids pick up on that and throw similar punches at me. In my vlogs, you see, I am laughing even when I am not paid to do so. It is just a joke. I go along with it because I think it\u2019s very funny,” she stated.<\/p>\n

She also reflected on her bond with Kapil, recalling how she met him on Comedy Circus, where Kapil was a contestant like the other 10. \u201cOur association started then. Who knew that it would come so far? It was an association built on mutual respect,” Archana asserted.<\/p>\n

On the professional front, Archana Puran Singh is gearing up for Rajkummar Rao\u2019s maiden production, Toaster, which is set to release directly on the OTT platform Netflix. The actress will be seen in The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3.<\/p>\n
