The laughter that echoed through Indian homes thanks to Pinky Bua is missed, but Upasana Singh is thriving in new ventures. The veteran actress, away from The Kapil Sharma Show for some time, has finally addressed the elephant in the room: why she left and what she’s doing now.
Speaking candidly, Upasana dismissed any bad blood with Kapil Sharma. ‘He’s family, like my younger brother,’ she said. Their collaboration produced golden memories, with her character becoming a household favorite akin to classic comedy roles. No bitterness lingers; she’s genuinely thrilled for the show’s ongoing success.
Destiny called her elsewhere, primarily Punjabi films, but doors aren’t shut. A great script could bring her back.
In her dual role as CINTAA General Secretary, Upasana is a warrior for actors’ welfare. Complaints flood her desk: irregular work, payments lagging months, and unauthorized cuts by middlemen. For freelancers in Mumbai’s cutthroat market, this spells crisis—struggling to afford rent, education, and daily needs.
She’s pushing the Ministry hard for reforms, including on-time remuneration and capped shifts. Long hours without extra pay drain performers physically and financially.
Encouragingly, politician Arun Govil has assured intervention alongside other ministers to standardize practices. Upasana remains optimistic, committed to unveiling the industry’s hidden hardships behind the glitz.
From comedy queen to change-maker, Upasana’s journey underscores resilience. Her message? The showbiz dream demands real fixes for those chasing it.
