Archana Had Lost Faith In Love After A Failed Marriage, But Parmeet Brought It Back In Her Life
Two strangers with a lot of baggage met at a common friends party.
They chatted, they flirted and they hit it off! What commenced as a mere attraction at first sight, ended as a commitment for a lifetime.
This is what actors, Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethis love story would sound in brief.
Against all odds and friction from the family, these two were successful in establishing a beautiful relationship.
Be it buying a dress worth Rs.
550 or a big house in Mumbai, Archana and Parmeet have had a wonderful journey so far in doing every big or small thing in life together.
And, we thought of bringing to you their beautiful journey so far.
So, here we go. Love at first sight.
When Archana and Parmeet were first introduced, the former was on a rebound.
It is usually perceived that relationships that develop under tense circumstances never blossom.
Well, we think that these two were born to defy the clichés.
Explaining what made him fall in love with Archana, Parmeet once mentioned:.
"For me, it was attraction at first sight.
Archana bowled me over with her beauty and grace.
It was Archanas truthful nature and complete transparency of thought that attracted me.".
Archana, on the other hand, was fascinated by Parmeets curious character.
She puts it like this:.
"It was his contradictory nature of being soft and rude at the same time that attracted me towards him.
I remember the first time that I met him at a party, I was reading a magazine and he just pulled it from my hand for showing it to someone else without even an excuse me, which for me was really crude.
But, he instantly turned with a sorry, leaving me intrigued at the same time.".
These two hit it off instantly, and started dating on a regular basis after this party.
The beautiful bond and good understanding.
Archana had a failed marriage before she met Parmeet.
At that time, she had made up her mind that she was done with men, and would enter into matrimony again.
For her, the male world was insensitive and domineering.
But once she met Parmeet, her outlook towards men changed completely.
Discussing the same, she said in one of her interviews:.
"After my previous failed marriage, I never wanted to have another man in my life.
But with Parmeet, I realised that men can be gentle, loving and sensitive, and not all of them are violent and possessive.
Parmeet is an absolute antithesis of a male chauvinist.".
The couple was in a live-in relationship for a long time before they tied the knot.
It was not easy for them as there was a lot of criticism that the two had to face from the public as well as their private circle.
However, it is their understanding that helped them withstand everything.
Recalling this time, Archana said in an interview:.
"While living together, the press wrote about our lifestyle, but that least affected our relationship.
What really hurt was the antagonistic approach his parents had towards our relationship and towards me.
Im glad Parmeet stood by me and never made me feel insecure.
And after all these years, I have become even closer to my in-laws, especially towards his mom.".
And, talking about their life after marriage, Parmeet once said:.
"We don't say 'I love you' every time.
Now, it's more about understanding each other without even uttering a word.
When you have kids growing up, the idea of romance goes through a sea change and it's very peaceful.".
Apart from the family issues, there was a huge difference in their career graphs as well.
This usually becomes a deal-breaker, but these two handled it very well.
Parmeet talked in an interview about what their personal approach was in handling this issue, and said:.
"Though Archana had already established as a star, I was never jealous of her achievements.
Neither did we ever have our respective egos ruining our relationship.
We are just two individuals returning home after our days work.
We give each other our space and dont interfere with each others work.".
Adding to this, Archana said:.
"Ours is certainly not the Abhimaan case.
He was always proud of my achievements, as at that time, I was already well-known, while he was still struggling to make his mark.
At times, he kept aloof when he lost out on his roles, but then successfully took it in his stride and worked hard.
Actually, his strength lies in his dedicated attitude.
He works diligently and never chooses to be my competitor.".
The secret wedding.
Archana and Parmeet were in a live-in relationship for around four years, before they tied the knot on June 30, 1992.
For them, marriage is just a tag that society has created and has nothing to do with the depth of a relationship.
They married after four years and did not make the big announcement because it was not really a big step for them.
For them, they were just two people who were happy in their own space.
According to Parmeet:.
"Every relation begins with friendship, and friendship starts with trust.
The moment one partner jeopardises this element of trust and honesty, a rift is created.
We were in a live-in relation for four years, and later when we married we did not announce our marriage for another four years because it didnt really matter to us.
Marriage is a label given to a relation.
It is in fact love, which shows that henceforth, two people exclusively belong to each other.
We both stood by each other when we decided to live-in.
Maybe we wouldnt have married, but to give our children an identity, we thought of tying the knot.
However, we still remain the best of friends even today.".
Archana shares the same view and says:.
"Even after 15 years of togetherness, we are lovers and not a couple.
The marriage didnt alter our relationship.
We still fight like friends and makeup immediately.
And best of all, we dont sulk or keep grudges.
For us, marriage is just a tag.
A piece of paper cannot change the nature of a relationship.".
Their mantra for a successful relationship.
After several years of marriage, you either learn to accept the flaws in your partner or you try your best to change them, making the relationship a burden.
Archana and Parmeet have a very practical approach towards it where he annoys her to keep the spark alive, and she lets him do that.
Explaining this, Parmeet says:.
"Its great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
She looks stunning when she is angry, especially when there is a tussle on petty matters, like why dont you keep the towel in the right place, or your hair is all over the sink, or your clothes are lying all over the bed.
We have never had a major fight so far since all the important decisions have been taken together.".
