Archana–Parmeet discuss career struggles and financial pressure in early years

Apart from movies and 'The Great Indian Kapil Show,' Archana Puran Singh is also in the news for her video vlogs. Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi talked about their marriage, professional journey, struggles, and financial issues faced by them. The couple even shared one of their experiences of working in C-grade movies.

In her YouTube channel, Archana Puran Singh shared her experience of a challenging phase in her marriage. She revealed that this phase had a great impact on her relationship with her husband but also influenced their journey together. Speaking to Parmeet Sethi, Archana explained, "When I married you, I thought, 'Yes, I'm the breadwinner.' But somewhere, I suppressed the feminine part of me that yearned for support, for someone I could depend on, for someone I could look up to. Just like my mother looked up to my father. Sometimes, I would say it doesn't matter if I earn, but sometimes, I would encourage you to earn and provoke you to turn down projects."

During this time, Archana Puran Singh also discussed her journey in Mumbai and her professional life. The actress said, "Another mantra of mine was to never say no to work. As a result, I did very bad films. I did C-grade films. My only concern was to make ends meet. At that time, I thought, 'If you had done better work, I wouldn't have to do that work.'" But gradually, things started to make sense.

During the conversation, Parmeet Sethi also shared that he was reluctant to take on films because he was younger than Archana and was still establishing himself in the industry. The actor said, "At that time, my perspective was that your career was over, but mine was still developing. I felt that if I made even one mistake, I would be completely out of the industry. I had been trying to become a hero for a long time." When Archana replied that she also wanted to be a heroine, Parmeet explained, "But you were seven years older than me and ahead of me in your career."

Archana Puran Singh, known for films like "Mohabbatein" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," married Parmeet Sethi in 1992. They have now been married for almost 34 years. The couple are now parents to two sons, Aryaman Sethi and Ayushmann Sethi. Archana often shares photos of her family.
