Archana Puran Singh just dropped a brand new vlog that gives fans an all-access pass to the chaotic and glamorous world behind The Great Indian Kapil Show. She pulls back the curtain completely, showing what really happens before the cameras start rolling and during those off-camera breaks.
Home Prep Chaos With Family & Team
The video kicks off right at Archana's home on a typical shoot day. Her son, Ayushmann Sethi, acts as the tour guide, walking viewers through the frantic preparation routine. Her dedicated team reveals all the secrets behind her iconic on-screen look.
One key revelation? The wig is absolutely essential. This sparks a funny comment from her husband, Parmeet Sethi, who jokes about the toll constant styling would take on natural hair. "If you blow dry natural hair so much then there would be no hair left, so this wig," he remarks with a laugh.
Next, the team unveils Archana's massive travel kit, packed and ready to go. It's not just clothes and makeup. The kit includes everything from jewelry to, surprisingly, dishwashing liquid and her own crockery. One team member sums it up perfectly, noting in Hindi, "Pura gadi bhar jata hai," meaning the whole car gets filled with her stuff.
Vanity Van Visits & Candid Confessions
Once on set, Archana dives straight into hair and makeup. But she doesn't stay put for long. Her first stop is a visit to co-star Kiku Sharda's vanity van for a quick, heartfelt chat.
Chatting Success With Kiku Sharda
Their conversation turns reflective. Archana shares how uncertain the show's future felt at the beginning. "When we started on Netflix, we didn't know if we will be back for another season," she confesses. "Now, we have done one, two and we may reach the 40th season."
Kiku responds with admiration, revealing the show has given him a new perspective. He confesses he's gained even more respect for women, noting just how long it takes him to get dressed in female attire for his comedic roles on the show.
Glamorous Greetings For Cricket Stars
Archana then steps onto the main set to meet the special guests for the episode: stars from the Indian women's cricket team. She is visibly impressed by their transformation for the show. "You guys are unrecognisable, you all look so glamorous," she praises them warmly.
Playful Banter With Krushna Abhishek
The vlog continues with a visit to Krushna Abhishek's space. Here, the banter turns playful and competitive. Krushna shares that the producers of another show, Laughter Chef, want Archana as a celebrity guest but can't meet her asking price.
"Her demands have increased, she is demanding a lot of money. They can't afford her, only Netflix can afford her," he teases.
Archana fires back instantly with a laugh, "What nonsense. You talk about yourself, even maybe Netflix couldn't afford you." This prompts Krushna to deliver a classic quip about the dangers of such talk, joking, "We say things like this then people from the Income Tax department visit us."
Sunil Grover Spotlights The Bling
No backstage tour is complete without seeing Sunil Grover. In his vanity van, Sunil immediately spots Archana's massive ring and makes it a focal point for the camera. "This is the cost of a 7 bedroom, kitchen, hall flat in Worli in Mumbai," he declares dramatically.
He then asks a more personal question: "How do you feel when we make fun of you on the show?" Archana's response is gracious and full of camaraderie. "I don't feel bad at all. You guys are my own, you can say anything," she says, adding a protective note in Hindi about outsiders.
Teasing The Show's Future
Wrapping up her behind-the-scenes adventure, Archana leaves fans with a tantalizing tease about what's next for the popular show. She suggests the footage could become a special episode or even kick off an entirely new season.
"This can be a special episode or this can be the 1st episode of Season 4," she reveals with a smile. "This now Netflix has to decide." Her vlog not only shows the fun and chaos behind the laughs but also highlights the strong, family-like bond among the cast that makes the magic happen every week.
