The Kapil Sharma Show, which is all set to return on the small screen with its third season, is surrounded by rumours that the show's special judge Archana Puran Singh may not come back for the upcoming season as she has already left the show.
However, Archana has now addressed the speculations and termed all those news as baseless rumours without any truth. She said that she is very much part of the show and is looking forward to shooting with Kapil Sharma and the whole team of TKSS.
Speaking to a leading daily, Archana Puran Singh said, "I am not aware of any such development. In its upcoming season, I am going to be a part of the show. There were similar rumours last year too when I was shooting for a film. This year I am shooting for a series and people have assumed I have quit the show. There is no truth to these rumours".
