Archana Puran Singh on her age difference with the love of her life, Parmeet Sethi

She screamed into our hearts through her first cinematic appearance in Jalwa opposite Naseeruddin Shah and then, she became famous. Living under the flashlights of stardom has been 'an old shirt' so to speak of Archana Puran Singh. Today she is a mother of 2 happy sons and her marriage to Parmeet now runs for three decades. Well, their meeting must have had its share of ups and downs she claims, but their age difference has never been highlighted as an issue post marriage.

Many a relative had advised her against tying the knot due to Parmeet being seven years younger at that time. But she believed none of it and took the plunge. What else can we expect from this daring actress who was able to make her mark in the annals of Bollywood.

It can be concluded now that Parmeet and Archana have been living their respective lives in harmony and even now are so much in love, that this is never a topic of discussion. "Behind every successful woman is a happy younger partner" shall probably be the summary of Archana's life, as Parmeet remains her anchor in the background. She even successfully draws the attention of the entire family to her jokes on most occasions, with Parmeet laughing hysterically with his two sons as the audience.


Most people are aware of Archana's contribution to Bollywood cinema, but Parmeet too had his share of fame. Who can forget his role as Kuljeet the angry and ditched bridegroom in "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge". He has directed, acted and written scripts for various films and television series of the Bollywood genre.

Nonetheless, Parmeet's career though unquestionably talented has been in the shadow of Archana's success with the latter being undoubtedly the larger recipient. Perhaps being younger has given Parmeet the adaptability to wield a better understanding of the relationship in question. We as humans are able to adapt to the conditions surrounding us and so too with this power couple who journeyed this Ferris wheel of life together thus far.

Archana currently is a judge in the Kapil Sharma Show and having judged her own married life to Parmeet and coming through successful in that decision, speaks volumes about the patience and graciousness of this wonderful couple.
