The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 2', Archana Puran Singh has candidly shared insights into her salary compared to her fellow crew members. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, alongside Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and Rajiv Thakur, Singh revealed that despite her laughter being a central part of the show, her salary is not as high as others who handle more demanding roles. Singh noted, “I’m happy with what I earn because I only have to laugh. The rest of the crew, who work harder and handle makeup, get paid double for their efforts.” She humorously added, “Some get paid for their beauty, others for their talent, but I get paid for all of that.” Reflecting on the nature of her role, Singh emphasized that if anyone ever suggested she tone down her laughter, they “might not be on this earth.” Sunil Grover interjected, pointing out the irony of such suggestions given Singh’s unique role on the show.

Donald Trump might have a bright spot. Numerous polls since the candidates' Tuesday meeting in Philadelphia have shown Harris to be just ahead of Trump. Trump still has the advantage when it comes to voters' trust in his ability to handle immigration and the economy. These two issues that voters have repeatedly stated are their top concerns in this year's election, even though Harris has seen a slight increase in support. Although polls released over the past week may not fully reflect the impact of the debate and issues like Trump's second alleged assassination attempt, they generally indicate a slight to moderate improvement for Harris.
