Kapil Sharma faces Twitter ire for derogatory jokes on Archana Puran Singh

The loyal fans of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ would be aware about the kind of jokes Tv host Kapil Sharma cracks on permanent guest-host Archana Puran Singh. 

The comedian’s pot-shots on Archana, usually leaves the audience in splits—but not this time. Twitter is not happy with his constant digs at Archana. Specially, not after the latest episode, which featured the cast of ‘Pagalpanti’—Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Arshad Warsi—and other guests. 

Kapil is usually seen making fun on Archna’s style statement, but after the last episode, Twitter has asked the comedian to put a halt to his derogatory comments.

Twitter reactions: 

Ma'am, The point you are making is absolutely apt. But the greater point is Wo (Archana Puran Singh) khud apne uppar kiye gaye sexist jokes par dahaade maar-maar ke hansti hai aur enjoy karti hai. Use isi baat ke paise laankhon rupye milte hain. Wo bahut khush hai aise jokes se.

I feel embarrassed for the audience in #TheKapilSharmaShow - they get humiliated without even realising. There’s fat shaming, the celebrity guests laugh at them. It’s not even funny.

Stand-up comedy is hard. If they have to resort to bullying people then they need to re-think the whole show.

Me neither. I was watching the Ritesh, Anil & John episode and it didn’t evoke any laughter. I got annoyed at how much they were demeaning the audience members and even Archana for no reason, on her body or how feminine she is.
