There was a time when Navjot Singh Sidhu’s shayaris would add spark to any episode of `The Kapil Sharma Show`, but in 2016, the former cricketer left, disappointing many fans. Now, five years down the line, with Archana Puran Singh having taken the chair, Sidhu has finally opened up about his sudden exit from the show. It was shortly after the Phulwa attack that Sidhu made comments on his X account, and now, discussing his departure, the politician has shared that there were “political reasons” behind it.

Sidhu recalled his memories of `The Kapil Sharma Show` while speaking on `The Grain Talk` show. He said, “The Kapil Sharma Show was a bouquet made by God. No one can take credit for it. It had different fragrances. When Kapil came to me, those days I had just come out of `Bigg Boss`, so we discussed and everything fell into place. Everyone was chosen to be a part of that show.”
