Archana Puran Singh gets hate for joking about husband Parmeet Sethi, says women leave flirty messages for him: ‘Gate khula hai, le jao’

Archana explained that just like she joked about her husband in this instance, she does the same in her vlogs. However, not everyone finds it acceptable. She said, “So I have been constantly saying this in my vlog. But there has been one lady has been constantly commenting, ‘Is this the way to talk about your husband? Do you know that people admire him?’ But I am like have you heard of something called a joke. People take it seriously.”

Archana also spoke about her career and how her association with Kapil Sharma’s shows—earlier on television and now on Netflix—has been a source of steady pay cheques, but has also hampered her image as an actor. She said, “I’m not able to convince filmmakers. Nobody is giving me roles. I am not able to act for so many years, because like once I got a call to shoot in Scotland for 25 days, but I could not leave Kapil Sharma show for so many days. However, now the show is on Netflix, but before we used to do 100 episodes per year on television, so I had no time. I had said no to so many films during that time.”

She added, “Now people have also stopped approaching me. But now we are on Netflix and it is a season by season show so the commitment is not for so many days and I can shoot overseas and travel.”

She also spoke about fighting stereotypes in the film industry and said, “Also, filmmakers are not convinced that I am an actor. They still feel that I am just somebody who sits on a chair and laughs.”
