Why did Navjot Singh Sidhu leave the show?
Navjot Singh Sidhu left The Kapil Sharma Show in 2019. His departure was due to the backlash following his comments on the Pulwama attack in February 2019. After the terrorist attack, Sidhu said that terrorism should not be linked to the entire country and stressed the need for dialogue over hostilities. His comments created a lot of controversy and there were demands for his removal from the show. Due to public outcry, she was eventually replaced by Archana Puran Singh, who has been a regular on the show since then.
