After Navjot Singh Sidhu’s controversial remarks on the recent Pulwama Terror attack, he was asked to quit the popular comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show, and actor-presenter Archana Puran Singh was asked to replace him. While not many people thought that it will happen so soon, the makers have already released the promo of their next episode featuring Archana Puran Singh who will take over the much-desirable seat.

However, the politician-former cricketer later tried to justify his comments and claimed that his words were ‘distorted’. He said, “Mere liye hamesha hi desh pehle tha (For me the country had always been first)… but I stand by what I said yesterday (Friday) and I cannot blame an entire nation for an act done by a few cowards…”
