Upasana Singh, popularly known for her stint in Comedy Nights With Kapil and The Kapil Sharma Show, has shifted her dynamics from acting to filmmaking, as she is currently focusing on the production of Punjabi movies. The actress garnered immense fame and affection for her character Bua in Kapil Sharma’s previous ventures.

Upasana Singh on men dressing as women in Kapil’s show
In an interview with the aforementioned publication, Upasana Singh commented on men cross-dressing as women in the Kapil Sharma show. Sharing her opinion, she said, “I don’t know whether I should be saying this, but I have always liked women playing women. Why are men playing women when you have so many actresses in the industry?” The statement came as a surprise because all the actors in the show, including Krushna Abhishek, Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and even Kapil Sharma, have entertained by imitating the women.
Shedding light on the reason behind leaving Kapil Sharma’s venture previously. She stated that, according to Singh’s husband and family, her character Bua in the show was affecting her image. 
She mentioned that initially, Upasana said yes to playing that role because she comes from a theatre background and believes in exploring different roles; therefore, she took that chance. Soon the character of Bua in the show became a huge hit, and audiences started loving the innocence of the character.
According to her, she initially found the character interesting, but later she lost interest in it, which made her question Kapil, “If I am not finding it funny, how will people find it funny?”
She further stated that money had never been a concern behind leaving the show, as she was getting paid well, but as an actor, she was not satisfied with her character anymore. Her decision to leave the show hasn’t tampered with her relations with Sharma, as the duo still carries a beautiful bond. She further disclosed that he did a voice-over for free for her Punjabi film, Bai Ji Kuttange, in 2022.
Also, when she was asked about joining the latest venture of Kapil Sharma, The Great Indian Kapil Show, which is now streaming on Netflix, she said, “Yes, if my role is good. I want to play something substantial.”
