Veteran actress and beloved laughter queen Archana Puran Singh recently added a hilarious twist to a personal health update, leaving fans in splits. During a promotional event, she playfully pinned the blame for a minor hearing issue on her fellow entertainer Navjot Singh Sidhu and his famously thunderous laughter.
A Roaring Confession: Sidhu's Laughter to Blame?
Speaking at a lively college festival, Archana Puran Singh shared a light-hearted confession. She revealed that she has started experiencing a slight reduction in hearing from her right ear. Instead of a typical explanation, she offered a uniquely humorous one. The actress directly blamed former cricketer and comedian Navjot Singh Sidhu, with whom she has shared the stage on numerous comedy shows.
According to Archana, Sidhu's booming and infectious laughter never seems to have an off switch. She joked that his 'laughter button' desperately needs a pause function, as it continues resonating long after the actual joke has ended. While many think her own laugh is powerful, she admitted that Sidhu easily surpasses her in volume and stamina, suggesting his decibel levels might be the culprit behind her auditory woes.
Embracing the Roast with Grace and Affection
The conversation naturally flowed towards her role on the hit show, where she is often the target of good-natured jokes. Archana addressed why she comfortably allows younger comedians to roast her on national television. She emphasized that the dynamic is built entirely on mutual consent and deep respect.
"In a roast, both participants are willing to do it. There is so much mutual respect and admiration in our whole team," she explained. The actress clarified that she never feels insulted because the humor originates from a place of genuine affection. She expressed her love for Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda, stating that their delivery is so sweet that she can never feel bad about their jokes.
Playful Banter and Proud Family Moments
The camaraderie on set was further highlighted by co-stars Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda. Krushna added a cheeky reminder that Archana also receives a 'huge pay cheque' for laughing along, bringing a dose of workplace reality into the fun. Kiku shared that his mother sometimes worries about the nature of his jokes, but Archana has reassured him, understanding it's all part of friendly entertainment.
Shifting to her personal life, Archana recently shared a heartwarming and funny family anecdote. She and her husband, actor Parmeet Sethi, spoke about their son Aaryamann's trip to London with his fiancée, Yogita Bihani. The proud parents revealed that while they travelled in business class, their son flew first class. Parmeet humorously remarked, "Humne bahut kiya hai. Ab teri baari hai (We have done a lot. Now it's your turn)." Archana teased that her husband was just "sirf ek kadam aage (only one step ahead)" of them in the aircraft.
