The Great Indian Kapil Show is back with a bang — and this time, it’s bringing along a familiar face that fans have missed dearly. The comedy juggernaut is all set to launch its third season on June 21, and in an unexpected twist, Navjot Singh Sidhu is making his much-anticipated return to the show.

Sidhu, who was an original part of the show’s earlier run before being replaced by Archana Puran Singh, is now returning to share screen space with her, creating what fans are calling the ultimate comedy dream team. Known for his poetic quips and booming laughter, Sidhu is expected to bring his trademark energy back to the Netflix talk-comedy series.

Host Kapil Sharma expressed his delight about Sidhu’s comeback, saying, “Humne promise kiya tha ki har funnyvaar badhega humaara parivaar and I’m so excited to have Sidhu paaji part of the family along with Archana ji to enjoy all the chutkules, the shayaris and masti. The mahaul is set, so stay tuned because this season jokes aur laughter dono ho gayein hain triple!!!”

Navjot Singh Sidhu also spoke about how special the show is to him. “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,” he said.

The internet has been buzzing with behind-the-scenes photos from the latest shoot. A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) gave fans a sneak peek at the guest lineup for an upcoming episode, with cricketers Abhishek Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Gautam Gambhir seen sharing laughs on set alongside Sidhu. One picture featured Gambhir and Sidhu together, adding to the excitement around the episode.

Adding to the hype, Abhishek Sharma posted a photo with Kapil Sharma on Instagram, captioned simply, “AMBARSARIYE,” giving a nod to their shared roots and playful camaraderie.

Season 3 is shaping up to be a star-studded affair. Alongside Kapil, the new season brings back fan favorites including Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda, promising a riot of laughter and entertainment.

With such a powerful ensemble and Sidhu’s grand comeback, Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show is set to serve another unforgettable season of comedy.
