Did Kapil ditch Archana in the new season and hire Govinda's wife for laughs?
As fans eagerly await the return of The Great Indian Couple Show Season 2 on Netflix, rumors have surfaced about potential changes to the cast. One of the biggest questions circulating is whether comedian Kapil Sharma has replaced veteran actress Archana Puran Singh with Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, in the new season. This speculation comes after Sunita Ahuja made surprising claims about Kapil offering her a spot on the popular comedy show.
The Great Indian Couple Show: Season 2 on Netflix
The Great Indian Couple Show gained immense popularity during its first season on Netflix, with Kapil Sharma at the helm, bringing his signature humor and celebrity guests. The format, a mix of comedy and relatable couple situations, quickly resonated with audiences. With Season 2 around the corner, excitement is building, but fans are now curious about the possibility of a major cast change involving the replacement of Archana Puran Singh.
Sunita Ahuja’s Claim About Kapil’s Offer
In a recent podcast, Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, revealed that Kapil Sharma once suggested the idea of her replacing Archana Puran Singh on The Great Indian Couple Show. Sunita stated, “Once, Kapil suggested to me that Archana should be removed and replaced by you.” She went on to joke, “I told him, ‘At least remove her first!’”
This revelation has fueled rumors of a potential shake-up in the show’s cast, though it is unclear whether this conversation was serious or made in jest.
Why Sunita Ahuja Declined the Offer
Despite the offer, Sunita Ahuja made it clear that she was not interested in joining the show due to personal reasons. Specifically, Sunita admitted that her decision was influenced by her feelings toward Krushna Abhishek, Govinda's nephew, and his wife Kashmera Shah, both of whom have appeared on Kapil Sharma's shows in the past. She candidly remarked, “I will not lie, I don’t like Govinda’s nephew Krushna and his wife Kashmera. If they were not in this show, I would have thought about being a part of it.”
Her statement highlights the personal dynamics at play behind the scenes, which may have affected her decision to turn down the opportunity.
Archana Puran Singh’s Role and Salary in Season 1
Archana Puran Singh has been a beloved fixture in The Great Indian Couple Show, known for her laughter and witty responses. According to reports, Archana received a hefty sum of INR 1 million per episode during the first season of the show on Netflix. Her presence is not only integral to the show’s format but also one of the key elements that viewers have come to enjoy.
There has been no official confirmation from Netflix or the show’s producers about any changes to Archana’s role for Season 2, leaving fans to speculate whether she will continue or if Sunita Ahuja’s claims hint at a major shift.
Fans' Reaction and Expectations for Season 2
Fans of the show have mixed reactions to the rumors of Archana being replaced. While some are intrigued by the idea of Govinda’s wife joining the show, many loyal viewers are hoping that Archana will continue to be part of the show, given her chemistry with Kapil and her long-standing contribution to his comedy ventures.
Season 2 is highly anticipated, and whether or not the rumored cast changes come to fruition, fans are looking forward to the same level of humor, entertainment, and celebrity appearances that made the first season such a hit.
Conclusion
