In it, the actor was dressed as a femme fatale. He wore a shimmery silver gown and sat gracefully on a sofa. His hair was parted on the side.

A few comments on the teaser of Haddi read, “I thought Archanapuran singh sitting, tremendously decked up😂👏👏”, “First I thought she was Archana Puran Singh 😂”, “Why u didn’t tag archana puran singh .. u forgot to tag her …”, “@nawazuddin._siddiqui you are looking like @archanapuransingh.” Many compared Nawazuddin’s look with Archana’s look on The Kapil Sharma Show, of which she is an integral part.
Fans find similarities between Archana Puran Singh and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Recently, Archana was asked about her comparisons with Nawazuddin and she took things in her stride. Talking to The Hindustan Times, she tried to figure out what led to people think of her when they looked at Nawazuddin. She said, “It’s the hairstyle which has become synonymous with me that is causing all these comparisons. I’ve used this side-parted look during the early part of Kapil show.”
