Archana Puran Singh didn't plan to remarry after a failed marriage until she met and fell in love with Parmeet Sethi.
Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi have been married for nearly three decades now. The couple tied the knot in 1992 and is blessed with two sons - Aaryamann and Ayushmaan. However, the whole journey of their relationship has witnessed several ups and downs in these many years. Before entering marital bliss, Archana and Parmeet lived together for about four years. 'The Kapil Sharma Show' star was married earlier before she met Parmeet and was not planning to tie the knot again.
Talking about their mantra to a successful marriage, Sethi had said, "It's 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 don't 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."
While Archana said, "He just loves to keep his huge shoes in the living room, and then he simply forgets about it. When I was pregnant I used to tell him to keep them aside else I would trip, and yet he would forget. I guess there's this one thing that I understood after all these petty issues, is never to change your man. If you try to change the other, it creates a burden on the relation, making the entire relation futile. In fact, it's only when you change your expectations rather than changing your partner that life becomes far easier."
Take a look at their cute and beautiful love story in detail below:
1. Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi love story - 'Attraction at first sight'

During an interaction, Parmeet Sethi spoke about getting attracted to Archana Puran Singh during their first meet. He had said, "For me, it was an attraction at first sight. Archana bowled me over with her beauty and grace. It was Archana's truthful nature and complete transparency of thought that attracted me."
While Archana shared, "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."

Talking about not intending to marry again after a failed marriage, Archana Puran Singh revealed, "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."
3. Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi love story - Living in together

Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi lived together for many years before they entered marital bliss. Narrating the same, the 'Agneepath' actor shared, "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 me. I'm 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."
4. Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi love story - Secret wedding
)
Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi got married on June 30, 1992, after living together for about four years.
Recalling the same, Parmeet had said, "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 didn't 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 wouldn't have married, but to give our children an identity, we thought of tying the knot. However, we remain the best of friends even today."

While Sethi said, "Aaryamann and Ayushmaan are Archana's top priority and I am the neglected one. But, they are the link, which makes my relationship with her solid."
