The much-awaited Season 4 of The Great Indian Kapil Show has officially begun streaming on Netflix and is already emerging as one of the most talked-about entertainment releases of the year. The new season premiered on December 20, 2025, opening with actor Priyanka Chopra as the first guest — an episode that set the tone for the season’s grand scale and popularity.
The excitement only grew with Episode 2, which welcomed the Indian women’s cricket team, pushing the show’s buzz across social media and viewership charts.
But alongside celebrity appearances and new comic characters, one topic has completely captured public curiosity:
How much are the cast members being paid — especially Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh?
Archana Puran Singh’s Per-Episode Salary
A long-time member of the Kapil Sharma comedy universe, Archana Puran Singh continues her role as the show’s beloved permanent guest.
According to industry reports, Archana is earning approximately:

Her consistency, chemistry with Kapil Sharma, and strong fan connect continue to make her one of the key pillars of the show’s success.
Navjot Singh Sidhu’s Reported Earnings
Making a high-profile return this season, Navjot Singh Sidhu now shares the iconic guest’s chair with Archana — and his paycheck reflects the scale of his comeback.
Reportedly, Sidhu is being paid between:

This places him comfortably at the top of the Season 4 salary chart, making him the highest-paid permanent guest on the show.
