Back from her family vacation in Switzerland, Archana Puran Singh was back at work on The Great Indian Kapil Show. The comedy series returned for a third season recently, with Salman Khan appearing as the special guest on the season premiere episode. On Tuesday, Archana took to her YouTube channel and posted a behind-the-scenes vlog from the show’s set in Film City. The vlog also featured her husband Parmeet Sethi, and their two sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan. They were accompanied by Archana’s assistant, Bhagyashree, for whom they planned a surprise meeting with Salman. They kept this a secret from her, telling her that duplicates would be present instead.
On the way to Film City, Archana remarked that even her car was stopped by the extra security personnel for Salman. The superstar showed up on set, surrounded by several guards. Salman’s security was beefed up in the wake of numerous threats made to his life by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. But he seemed to be in good spirits as he interacted with Kapil warmly. Meanwhile, Archana took her seat next to Navjot Singh Sidhu, who used to be a fixture on the show before she took over the position.
In the vlog, Archana’s family documented the behind-the-scenes activity on set, showing the control room. “This looks like a NASA operation,” Parmeet remarked. Meanwhile, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan fought each other over the Netflix goodie bag that a production assistant presented to Archana. They ripped open the wrapping and declared which items would go to whom. On the set, they kept recording Bhagyashree’s reactions as Salman made an appearance, and she realised that he wasn’t a dupe.
After the shoot, Salman hung back to interact with guests and other cast members. Archana introduced him to her sons, who said that they recently watched Andaz Apna Apna again in theatres. Salman told them that he has seen some of their vlogs, including the one featuring Sudesh Lehri. They were honoured. Later, they also interacted with Sidhu, who was shocked at how closely Aayushmaan resembles Parmeet. The family ended the vlog by returning to Archana’s lavish vanity van.
