Archana Puran Singh recalls her bond with her parents growing up; says, “I wanted to be exactly like my father but I couldn’t truly understand my mother”

Archana Puran Singh, who’s loved and known for her acting skills and comic timing, keeps fans posted about her personal and professional life through social media. In a recent YouTube video, she spoke about her love story with husband Parmeet Sethi, recalled her childhood, and much more. She walked down memory lane and spoke about her dad, revealing how she always wanted to be like him.Archana said that the reason she has always been so ambitious is because she grew up watching her dad work very hard. However, she also mentioned that she should have put in more effort to understand her mother.Archana said, “I wanted to be like my father growing up. I became Puran Singh, but I couldn’t be like my mother. This is the reason why I’m the way I am. I never felt like the man should earn and the woman shouldn’t because I wanted to be like my father.” While talking about his childhood, Parmeet said, “Growing up, I never had a toy. My father was a simple man. He worked in a company and sent us to the best school in the city. However, we never had a lot of money to spend here and there. I remember during my school days, kids would eat frankie and many other fancy things, but I could hardly afford a vada pav once in a while.” Archana got emotional as she heard this.Archana, on the other hand, said, “I never thought about which gender is more successful. I never looked at it that way. Sometimes I’d even think, ‘Oh my God, idiot, you should have a little sympathy for Bittu that I’m successful.’ But I think the reason was that I never saw any difference between you and me.”Parmeet recalled his early career days and said, “I became successful in my own right. I was a household name on television. I had three back-to-back super-hit serials. You had Kurukshetra, Daastan, Kurukshetra again, and after that there was no Jessie. Then came DDLJ. I was always confident that I would become someone. I knew I was a little behind, but I also knew I would overtake it. There was never any insecurity that you were more successful than me. I genuinely rejoiced in your success and the fact that you were doing so well.”
