Statement
Meanwhile, Sidhu wasn't intimated about his removal from the show
Meanwhile, Sidhu released a statement about his 'apparent' termination from TKSS and asserted that he received no notification about being replaced.
"I had to attend Vidhan Sabha's session due to which I couldn't shoot for TKSS and they got somebody else in my replacement for two episodes. If it is regarding my statement, I will stick to what I have been saying," he added.
Denial
Also, Archana denied replacing Sidhu on 'TKSS'
On the other hand, Archana also denied replacing Sidhu 'permanently' on TKSS.
Furthermore, the actress clarified that she had shot for two episodes of TKSS, but that was before Pulwama attack on February 14.
"I got to know from the media that this is happening. I'm yet to get any official communication from the channel and creative heads of the show," Archana told HT.
Mystery
Is Sidhu getting replaced or not? No one knows apparently
Interestingly, not just Archana or Sidhu, but TKSS cast is also not clear about the new development on the show.
Comedians Sumona Chakravarti and Bharti Singh, who play key roles on TKSS, also expressed skepticism over Sidhu's removal.
The ladies asserted that their team isn't aware of Sidhu's replacement as of now and it is the channel that would take the final call.
