Archana Puran Singh.
Today, everyone knows Archana Puran Singh as her laugh, impeccable style and a person sitting on the judge’s chair in the TV show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’. But very few people know about his personal life, his childhood and his family. Recently Archana appeared in the Vlog of her elder son Aryaman, where she first shared many things related to her father and childhood. Meanwhile, the actress talked about her father’s deep connection to Sanjay Gandhi.
Where did Archana’s humor come from
Archana, who grew up in Dehradun, said that her father Chaudhary Puran Singh was a prestigious criminal lawyer who was known for his faith and principles. He was so famous that he also advocated for the case of Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi. Archana said that even though her father was a criminal lawyer, he was a very innocent, honest and funny person. He said, “The humor inside me has come from my father.” He further explained that his father was called ‘Karmayogi’ in Dehradun because he was completely dedicated to his work.
Father did not want Archana to become a lawyer
While narrating an anecdote of one time, Archana said that she had brought money in one sack at her house and said that this case is a bribe in lieu of losing the case. At this, his father lost the person out of the house with money without losing a moment. He said, “He taught me that honesty is the biggest capital.” However, he also told that his father did not want his children to go to the profession of advocacy. They used to say that if you become a lawyer, you will have to sell your soul.
What was the case of Sanjay Gandhi’s case?
According to him, this happens many times as a lawyer when you know that your client is guilty, but you still have to defend it. This duality used to bother his father very much and hence he did not allow his children to become a lawyer. Talking about Sanjay Gandhi’s case, Archana said that her father had fought her case in the case related to the film ‘Kissa Kursi Ka’ after the Emergency. Sanjay Gandhi was accused of burning the print of this film and had to go to jail due to this.
Archana’s family was financially prosperous
Sharing memories of her childhood, Archana said that her childhood was financially very good. He had a bungalow, magnificent vehicles and he used to eat delicious food. But he always considered his father’s simplicity and principles as his ideal. At the age of 20, when Archana moved to Mumbai alone with the dream of acting, she had neither film background nor any godfather. He started with small advertisements and gradually made his place in the industry. Her first advertisement made her realize that she can do something in the region.
