“It was no shock that Kapil cracked a lot of jokes on Archana at my expense. Look, the first production house that Archana and I set up was called Archana Talkies, and it used to come on Sony TV. Whatever she was doing in that, Kapil is doing exactly that for his show. It was a talk show with celebrities, and Archana used to do stand-up comedy. We didn’t leave any stone unturned, and we poked fun at everyone,” said Parmeet.

He added, “I used to ghost-write for Archana’s stand-up set, and I used to supervise the rest of the writing. I find it (Kapil’s jokes) funny, and I find it nice, because it’s difficult to write comedy. The punch needs to be good, and it doesn’t matter who it is directed towards.”

However, Parmeet jokingly hit back at Kapil for using his name too many times and demanded some monetary compensation for it. He said, “I keep telling Kapil to start paying me royalty for the show, because I am a character in it without even being there. It’s fun, and I am happy that I can be of some use somewhere.”

The actor also lauded Kapil for his comedic timing and admitted that the comedian is just like family for him and Archana. “If you have a knack for comedy, then it’s very nice, and when you talk about someone like Kapil, he is a natural; he doesn’t need a script. Moreover, we have ghar-wale rishte (like family) with Kapil, and I can’t put that into better words. He and his wife Ginni are both sweethearts, along with his mother. They are all very homely people, and they love and respect us a lot. We feel the same for them. Our relationship is beyond work,” said Parmeet.
