Mumbai: The finale of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 on Netflix ended on a high note with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar joining Kapil Sharma and Archana Puran Singh. Packed with witty banter, the episode gave fans plenty to laugh about, especially when Akshay teased Archana about her paycheck for the shorter season.

Akshay playfully pointed out that earlier TV runs had nearly 80 episodes a season, while this edition wrapped up in just 10. Many assumed the reduced schedule might affect Archana’s earnings, but she was quick to clarify that her fee had remained untouched. She emphasized that Netflix valued her contribution and offered a generous package despite the smaller episode count.

How much did Archana earn?

Reports suggest that Archana charged ₹10–12 lakh per episode, placing her among the highest-paid figures on the show. Across 10 episodes, her total earnings for Season 3 are estimated at ₹1 crore to ₹1.2 crore.

Why does it matter?

This revelation highlights how digital platforms like Netflix are reshaping the entertainment economy. Unlike traditional TV, shorter seasons with bigger budgets allow artists to command strong fees while reaching a global audience. For Archana, it shows her enduring popularity and value as part of Kapil’s comedy universe.

With Seasons 1 and 2 already completed, fans are now waiting for Netflix to confirm the launch of Season 4, keeping the buzz alive.
