Archana Puran Singh says father defended Sanjay Gandhi in court, recalls sack full of money offered as bribe: ‘We lived in a bungalow, had all fancy cars’

He then urged Archana to tell everyone more about her father, and she revealed, “My dad defended Sanjay Gandhi once in court. He was a criminal lawyer and despite being a criminal lawyer he was very innocent and kind-hearted. It was his humour that has been passed on to me and you. He was a great man. When he passed away, the whole Dehradun came for his funeral.”

She added, “He was professional and only knew his work. He had defended big criminals of his time but he didn’t want any of his kids to become lawyers because he felt that you have to sell your soul.” Archana also shared that her father would often get offered bribes. She said, “I once saw that someone had brought a sack full of money for him. My father told him to get out with that sack of money. He had integrity and he taught me that.”

During the same conversation, Archana also spoke about how she came to Mumbai alone as an 20-year-old to become an actor and with no connections in the film industry. She recalled getting her first ad and how she slowly found her footing in Bollywood.

On the work front, Archana is seen as a permanent member on The Great Indian Kapil Show. She was also seen in Ibrahim Ali Khan’s debut film Nadaaniyan. Apart from her acting career, she runs her own YouTube channel, which is quite popular among audiences, where she shares her day-to-day life through vlogs.
