Archana Puran Singh’s confession ‘FAKE LAUGHED’ On The Kapil Sharma Show, Says “I Was Not Happy”

Archana Puran Singh is presently preparing for the debut of her forthcoming comedy series, ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show,’ set to premiere on Netflix. Joining her will be comedy partners Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover, and many others. Renowned for her role as a judge on numerous comedy platforms, Archana recently confronted previous criticisms regarding her perceived ‘false laughing’ at jokes deemed subpar during the show’s press conference.

Archana Puran Singh’s Confession

Archana Puran Singh said, “Anyway, now I am happy to say that now there are very few instances when the jokes don’t have the punch where I need to ‘false- laugh’, that’s number 1, number 2 is that Kapil now tells ‘you should have said that, this joke didn’t launch,’ he says it on the stage itself and we even telecast it. So, we are the first to laugh at ourselves and that’s why the world laughs with us.” 

She also shared that such instances are now rare. Archana explained the evolution of her approach, noting, “It doesn’t happen anymore. Now you’ll see, in the last three years, since we are doing the show, and especially now when we are on Netflix.”

She added, “Earlier people used to say that I laughed at bad jokes as well, I was not happy with it. What used to happen then is that if a particular joke didn’t have the punch, they (the makers) thought that if we use Archana’s laughter then woh punch utth jaayega (it’ll make people laugh), but it didn’t work that way, woh punch nahi utha, but main hi baith gayi (it didn’t become funnier, and I was criticised instead). People started to think, ‘this woman is mad, she is laughing for nothing. The integrity of my laughter took the beating.”

Furthermore, Archana Puran Singh expressed that her laughter now serves as authentic feedback. “I genuinely laugh at the good jokes,” she affirmed.

Archana Puran Singh shared her enthusiasm for what she considers the “best job in the world,” highlighting how she’s constantly “laughing her way to the bank.” Reflecting on her unexpected fame for her laughter, Archana said, “I didn’t know one day I’d become more famous for my laughter. As an actor, I always thought it would be my performances would be known but see where destiny takes you. It is the best job in the world, I am laughing all the way to the bank. I am having the best time, can you imagine, watching one episode, one show, people crave to catch the event, to watch the live Kapil Sharma show, and I am there watching it like a guest, every time, so it’s a great opportunity.”
