Overview
- Archana Puran Singh, who spoke to News18 on Monday, said filmmakers rarely call her because they see her as the laughing judge from Kapil Sharma’s show.
- She said the show’s earlier TV schedule ran to about 100 episodes a year, which forced her to turn down films, including a 25-day shoot in Scotland.
- With The Great Indian Kapil Show now produced season by season on Netflix, she said she can travel and accept films during off months.
- She recently appeared in the Netflix film Toaster and credited Rajkummar Rao for casting her after he noticed her earlier work, which she hopes sparks more offers.
- Her career began with a lead in Jalwa in 1987 before she was often cast in comic and supporting parts, a pattern she says still shapes how directors see her.
