After Parmeet Sethi spoke about facing a difficult time in his marriage with Archana Puran Singh, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor has also opened up about the troubled times in their relationship. Archana revealed how she had ego clashes with her husband but shared that they resolved their differences after taking up meditation, which she forced her husband to also undertake. Archana said her husband was dealing with personal crisis at the time.
Speaking on her son Aaryamann Sethi’s vlog, she said, “Parmeet and I were going through a very difficult phase in our marriage. We made mistakes in understanding each other, and sometimes ego gets in the way. When both people in a marriage become weak, then that marriage struggles.”
Archana spoke about joining the Art of Living Foundation and explained how meditation helped her navigate through the troubles in her marriage. Later, she also encouraged Parmeet to take up meditation. During the conversation, Archana revealed that it was through meditation that she revisited the trauma of her mother leaving her for 10 days when she was 10 months old. She also shared that during the same meditation session, Parmeet learnt to deal with his sister’s untimely death. She emphasised that resolving their past traumas helped them restart their relationship on a happier note.
She said, “Parmeet told me after the meditation, ‘I saw you as the most beautiful woman in the world.’ He said this at the time when we were fighting. It was during that moment when we realised that we love each other so much like soulmates, but due to stupidity, we are fighting.”
She added, “Meditation makes you look at things differently, and the things that irritate you about the other person won’t irritate you after practicing it. We started appreciating each other’s real nature. We are far from the perfect couple. We fight with each other at least 15 times a day, but we can’t live without each other.”
In an earlier podcast, Parmeet had also opened up on resolving his issues to ensure their marriage survived. “I did Art of Living Course, Archana forced me to do it. We were going through a bad time as a husband and wife very tense, and we were fighting a lot. After the course all the things bottled inside me came out, and for the first time, I cried loudly for my sister who had died earlier, I cried to my heart’s content. I used to diet a lot during that time, but during the meditation, I imagined myself eating rich food,” he had said.
