The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 will have two judges this season as Navjot Singh Sidhu joins Archana Puran Singh in the Netflix show. The cricketer-politician exited the show in 2019 post his comments in the aftermath of Pulwama terror attack.

The Great Indian Kapil Show is in its third season on Netflix India.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 is all set to return on Netflix India in a few weeks. And this time, the team has a big surprise for the audience with Navjot Singh Sidhu’s confirmed to join the Kapil Sharma show. The official announcement for the same has been done with a fun video where Kapil Sharma is seen telling judge Archana Puran Singh that she is getting a big surprise from the OTT platform for delivering two hit seasons.

An ambitious Archana is seen expecting a house, a car, or maybe some equity shares of Netflix, but her excitement dies down as she sees Navjot Singh Sidhu make a poetic entry to the show. With The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 promo, it has been confirmed that both Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu will be co-judging the show.

The mahaul is set, so stay tuned because this season jokes aur laughter dono ho gayein hain triple!!!”

Navjot Singh Sidhu said in a statement, “Coming to The Great Indian Kapil Show feels like I’m coming home again. It is a home run for me. We heard the voice of the people, so many fans and well-wishers who loved our interactions and wanted to see more. I’m delighted that Netflix has managed to bring this bouquet of beautiful people together, and we will bloom this season for audiences worldwide. A smile doesn’t cost you a cent, but it is worth millions of dollars, and The Great Indian Kapil show is an instrument of god’s goodwill to bring happiness to mankind – honoured to be part of it again.”

Navjot Singh Sidhu’s exit from Kapil Sharma’s show

Sidhu’s exit from the show took place in 2019 after the cricketer-politician took serious heat over his comments following the Pulwama terror attack. Sony — where Kapil’s show was telecast at that time — sacked him and hired Archana Puran Singh to host the show. Ever since then, the show and its cast has jumped platforms and names but Archana has stayed on as the judge. She often takes hits from the show’s cast for earning money for ‘just laughing’ but responds with grace. The same treatment, however, was never meted out to Sidhu.

The two judges on the show will make this season an interesting mix. The new season of the Great Indian Kapil Show starts streaming from 21st June, 2025.

Trump announces 25% tariff on India and unspecified penalties for buying Russian oil

Business3 hr ago

Even as India and the US negotiate a trade agreement, President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods from August 1, with an additional but unspecified “penalty” for its defence and energy imports from Russia.

In a post on social media platform Truth Social, Trump said India has “the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country”.
