The famous actress-comedy show judge Archana Puran Singh recently opened up about her long-standing relationship with the ace-comedian Kapil Sharma, shedding light on their unique bond that extends beyond the sets of their television collaborations. Having worked together for several years, their connection, according to Archana, has grown from a formal professional relationship into something more personal and familial.
Tracing the beginning of their association, Archana recalled the days of Comedy Circus, a show where Kapil participated as one of the contestants. She served as a judge on that show and admitted that back then, no one could have anticipated how far their bond would evolve. She further added that the relationship was built on a foundation of mutual respect.
Being Kapil’s senior, Archana naturally held a position of authority but it was his extraordinary talent that truly earned her admiration. For her, encountering such unfiltered, powerful talent is humbling, something she respects deeply. She explained that this dynamic was similar to the one she also shares with Krushna Abhishek and over time, it transformed into a relationship that now feels like family.
While Kapil Sharma might be seen regularly on television entertaining millions, Archana pointed out that in real life, he is quite different from his public persona. She described him as a very private and reserved individual, someone who consciously chooses to stay away from public gatherings and social scenes.
According to her, he rarely attends parties or seeks out the spotlight beyond his professional commitments. Yet, she noted that he is incredibly comfortable in the presence of people he truly connects with. She shared that Kapil is at ease when visiting her home and equally welcoming when she drops by his. Their relationship has reached a level where it is casual and warm, driven by admiration on both the sides.
Archana Puran Singh also reflected on the foundation of their bond, highlighting how their shared sense of humour plays a pivotal role in keeping them connected. Despite coming from entirely different backgrounds, they find common ground in the kind of comedy they enjoy and the environment they like to work in. She believes that this shared understanding has helped them build not just a working relationship but a lasting friendship that thrives both on and off screen.
Archana served as a special judge on The Great Indian Kapil Show, which wrapped up its second season earlier this year. Her insights into her rapport with Kapil Sharma offer a rare glimpse into the more personal dimensions of a man usually seen making the world laugh and also affirm the lasting impact of genuine connections in the entertainment industry.
