Archana Puran Singh defends Kapil Sharma making fun of her on the show: ‘Comedy is meant to be irreverent…’

“Comedy is meant to be irreverent and it has to underline certain things for the purpose of humour. It is not meant to hurt anybody. We are openly disclosing on The Kapil Sharma Show that it is a comedy platform and nothing over here has to be taken seriously,” Archana said.

She also credits Kapil for ensuring that there is obvious humour in his tone, when he is putting Archana in a spot.

“His tone also gives a little lightness to the joke and he has a high spirit. When Kapil says it, it is full of humour, love, and naughtiness. He knows he is taking a panga; woh sorry bhi bolta hai (he says sorry) when I jokingly say, ‘Main aakar maarungi’. (I will come and beat you) It is so wholesome. Don’t look at a comedy show and think that he is giving a social message,” said Archana.

Earlier, the troll had mentioned Kapil’s name in the comment she left on Archana’s picture. The troll wrote, “Woman kam, man zyada lag rahi ho. Kapil sahi kehta hai bohot time laga hoga aapko roop parivartan karne mein (You look less like a woman, more like a man. Kapil is right in saying that you it must have taken you a long time to transform).”

To this, Archana had schooled her by replying, ““Kitni ghatiya soch rakhti ho itni kam umar mein (You hold such a despicable mentality at such a young age). Thoda padh likh leti toh pata chalta badon se kyase pesh aate hein (Had you educated yourself a little, you would have known how to present yourself respectfully to elders). Please learn to respect women of ALL ages, sizes, shapes, and appearances. How will you expect or deserve respect from men if you cannot yourself respect other women?”
