Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi tied the knot in 1992 and have been happily married ever since.
However, did you know that their marriage was a secret for four whole years? Narrating her story on TKSS, Archana explained how Parmeet’s parents did not approve of her profession.
On Kapil Sharma’s episode where newly married Neha Kakkar and Rohanpreet Singh were the guests, it was then Archana and Parmeet spoke on their love story. Archana says Parmeet was adamant when it came to marrying her.
She said that they consulted a priest, who asked Parmeet if Archana was a “balik”, to which Parmeet replied that she was more “balik” than him. As per a DNA report, the priest, thereafter, asked them to come the next day. Archana, recalling the day, said she was shooting for Saif Ali Khan’s debut film and hid it from everyone that she was getting married. Archana went on to say how they successfully hid their marriage for four years. She was happy there was no social media then and so they could get away.
“After my previous failed marriage, I never wanted to have another man in my life. But with Parmeet, I realised that men can be gentle, loving, and sensitive, and not all of them are violent and possessive. Parmeet is an absolute antithesis of a male chauvinist,” Archana lovingly says.
To this Parmeet replied, “Though Archana had already established as a star, I was never jealous of her achievements. Neither did we ever have our respective egos ruining our relationship. We are just two individuals returning home after our day’s work. We give each other our space and don’t interfere with each other’s work.“
