Archana Puran Singh has always been a good sport when it comes to being at the receiving end of jokes, be it on Comedy Circus, or her stint on Kapil Sharma’s shows. In Archana’s family vlogs, the actor’s husband Parmeet Sethi is seen cracking poor jokes (PJs) and making fun of himself, leaving those around him in splits. Now, in an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Paremeet revealed that his wife Archana is the inspiration behind his attitude.
During the conversation, Parmeet was asked about laughing at himself and indulging in self-depreciating humour in the vlogs. He replied, “That is something which I realised that if you want to crack jokes, then you should also be able to take jokes. It cannot be a one-way street. That is something I have also learned from Archana. When she sits on the chair and takes punches, it’s not a serious thing to feel bad about. It’s fun.”
The Dil Dhadakne Do actor added, “You have to poke fun at something or someone. Vo nahi hoga toh life mein fun rahega hi kahan. So, if you want to have fun in life, stop being so serious about everything or taking things to heart. Take it lightly, have fun. I have started enjoying my life much more since the time I have started cracking jokes, having fun, and being relaxed about things. It kind of permeates into the rest of your life as well.”
Parmeet Sethi also shared that it helped change the perception people had of him. “My conversations with people are more pleasant. People used to think that I am a very serious guy. Now they think that I am a funny guy. So, everything changes. Why not have fun in daily life? Why should you only keep it for the time you are watching a comedy film?” the actor concluded.
On the work front, Parmeet Sethi will next be seen in the new season of Special Ops. On the other hand, Archana Puran Singh last featured in Nadaaniyan, with Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor. She has the upcoming season of The Great Indian Kapil Show in her kitty.
