As per Kapil Sharma, Punjab Cabinet Minister and television personality Navjot Singh Sidhu has been replaced by Archana Puran Singh on 'The Kapil Sharma Show' because of the former's unavailability. 

The comedian recently attended Art of Living's event on Drug Free India campaign at Chandigarh University and on being asked to comment on Sidhu's ouster from the show, Kapil said, "Abhi Navjot Singh Sidhu ke kuch aur commitment hain isliye humare saath Archana Puran Singh shoot kar rahe hain. Maujuda waqt mein Sidhu humaare sath nahi hain. (Because of some prior commitments of Navjot Singh Sidhu, currently Archana Puran Singh is shooting with us.)," shared Zee News reporter Rajan Sharma. 

"Halaaki ye bahut choti cheezein hain, ya phir propoganda hota hai jinmein iss tareeke ke baatein aati hain. Mere manna yeh hai ki kisi ko ban karna na, Navjot Singh Sidhu ko show she bahaar karna in baaton ka solution nahi hai. Ek Sthai samadhaan humein milkar dekhna hoga."

(All this is mere propaganda. I believe banning people, sending Navjot Singh Sidhu out of the show is not the right solution. We need to look for a permanent solution.)

Speaking about the ban on Pakistani artistes, Kapil said, "Hum insab cheezon mein sarkar ke saath hain lekin phir bhi ek sthai samaadhan ki zarurat hai. Pulwama mein jin logo ne kayrana tareeke se humaare jawaano ko shahid kiya unko dhundh dhundh kar marna chahiye jismein pura desh sarkar ke saath khada hai."

(We are with the government on this but we need a permanent solution. We need to find and kill each one of those who cowardly attacked our soldiers in Pulwama. The entire nation stands with the government.)

Sidhu recently uploaded a video on Twitter saying: “I had to attend Vidhan Sabha’s session due to which I couldn’t go for the shoots of The Kapil Sharma Show and they got somebody else in my replacement for two episodes. I have no intimation about my termination from the channel. If it is regarding my statement, I will stick to what I have been saying yesterday, today and ever tomorrow.”

The channel took the decision to replace him with actor Archana Puran Singh as his comments on the Pulwama terror attack irked some netizens and hashtags #boycottSidhu and #boycottkapilsharmashow started trending.
