Archana Puran Singh, who is currently entertaining fans on The Great Indian Kapil Show, recently made some emotional revelations. In a vlog, the actress shared details about her struggling days, including how she left home at the age of 19 to come to Mumbai and become an actor.
Archana’s son Aaryamann recently shared a video where he was seen asking her a series of questions about her life. From marriage troubles with Parmeet to her struggling phase and more, the actress opened up about it all. One of the moments that caught many eyeballs was when she revealed details about her early struggles.
Archana shared, “When I came to Mumbai to learn acting, I got a serial where I was supposed to not just act but also do comedy. There was a scene where I was expected to be funny, and I started making faces. The director stopped me and said that making faces is not comedy. He told me to watch others and learn what real comedy is. I watched my work, analysed it, and learnt from it.”
She further said, “Everyone thinks I’m always laughing, but they don’t know what I’ve been through. When I first came to Mumbai, I didn’t know how to dress. I was educated, but I didn’t know style. When I saw how life in Mumbai looked, I went back to Dehradun and told my dad that I wanted to become an actress. My father then sent me with his friend and their daughter to Mumbai with one suitcase. It was a suitcase full of dreams. But that family friend was returning to Dehradun in just one week.”
Archana also spoke about some of the most difficult phases of her life. She mentioned two — one when she faced troubles in her marriage, and another when her son Aaryamann met with a major accident.
