Navjot Singh Sidhu: What makes him popular

Comedy Nights with Kapil is not all about Kapil Sharma. While there are other popular characters like Gutthi, Palak, Dadi, Pinky Bua etc, what also makes it interesting is Sidhu paaji, as he's fondly called. Considered to be a co-host, Navjot Singh Sidhu is more than entertaining. His personality adds the extra charm to the show and his ability to interact with celebrities and share interesting stories makes him a hit with the audience. But that's not all. From his colourful turbans to his one liners, here's a look at what makes him so loved on the show and why he's popular with the audience.

Shayari - While every character contributes to Comedy Nights with Kapil (CNWK) and plays a pivotal role in making the show successful, Sidhu is like the co-host. It would be hard to imagine CNWK without him. One of his specialities on CNWK is his shayari which has become so popular. Every time a guest/celebrity walks in on the sets, Sidhu makes it a point to compliment. One such example is as follows: (When Kareena and Imran Khan came to promote Ekk Main Aur Ek Tu) Phir aaj koi ban ke yahn mehman aaya hai, Husan ke duniya se ishq ka paigam aaya hai, Aur Gori ke pyar me,Hoke diwana dekho, kareena ke pichu pichu imran Aaaya hai...!

Colourful turbans - Trust Sidhu paaji to match his personality with his turbans. Like him, they are bright and are generally co-ordinated with his ties and suits. From orange, red, blue and black, Sidhu experiments with all colours, including pink too! He's very well dressed and presentable, looking dapper in ironed suits and crisp shirts. Unlike many others, although his turbans are colourful, he refrains from using motifs or loud designs on them and keeps it simple. Surely one of the things to watch out for CNWK. Even celebs know him for his head wear. In fact, when Honey Singh came on the show, he gifted him a yellow coloured turban and Sidhu called it the Bhagat Singh turban.

Anecdotes - What makes Sidhu click on the show with the audience is his ability to add that personalised touch by regaling everyone with his anecdotes. A former cricketer and a commentator, Sidhu often shares green room experiences during his time as a cricket player. On one episode of CNWK, he narrated a funny experience he had with the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev during his early days as a cricketer, when he played for team India. The audience was in splits! Sidhu also has the ability to engage viewers with stories that have never been heard before. They are one of the highlights on the show which make the guests feel very welcome.

Flirting with female celebrities - Sidhu is often teased by host Kapil Sharma for flirting with the female celebrities on the show, right from Deepika Padukone to Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kangna Ranaut. A blushing Sidhu sure wins the ladies over. He even ran in slow motion with Mallika Sherawat when she came on the show. Recently, when the team of Dolly Ki Doli came to promote their film, Kapil teased Sidhu endlessly. A sporting spirit that he is, Sidhu is a hit among the women and every time they come on Comedy Nights..., he ensures he has a shayari ready to compliment them.

Punch lines - His laughter, dancing ways and his one liners are certainly things to watch out for on Comedy Nights with Kapil. Apart from his shayari which features in every episode, Sidhu is also known for his punch lines that he uses quite frequently on the show. Lines such as Pinki Ki Pooh, Thoko Tali and Lovey Dovey are unique to him and make the show even more entertaining. That apart, Sidhu's high flying Hindi, his gestures like clapping his hands and twisting them, make him more unique and loveable!
