Speaking about how special their bond is, he shared, “I have known her for a long time now, ever since she started her career. Archana is a very hardworking, independent and a clean hearted girl. And I wish her more success in life, which she totally deserves as I have witnessed her struggles, hardships that she has been through during her life.”


Ranveer also spoke about how he felt seeing people mocking Archana’s voice and looks. Talking about the same, he shared, “She has worked immensely hard for the achievement that she has gained today. I request the audiences, who are watching Bigg Boss, to support her. I am not at all enjoying the fact many are criticising her on her looks and voice.
