"People Don't Know What I've Been Through..."

Archana has often opened up about her struggling days, leaving fans inspired by her story. She said, “Everyone thinks I'm always laughing, but they don't know what I've been through. When I first came to Mumbai, I didn't know how to dress. I was educated, but I didn't know style. When I saw how life in Mumbai looked, I went back to Dehradun and told my dad that I wanted to become an actress. My father then sent me with his friend and their daughter to Mumbai with one suitcase. It was a suitcase full of dreams. But that family friend returned to Dehradun in just one week.”

On the work front, Archana Puran Singh was last seen on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'.
