Archana Puran Singh and husband Parmeet Sethi were almost divorced for THIS reason, she said: ‘I don’t care, you divorce me or not…’

Archana Puran Singh rose to fame with her successful Bollywood career and became widely known for judging comedy shows on television. However, unlike many Bollywood celebrities who live in Mumbai’s upscale neighborhoods, Archana chose to settle in the more serene and distant Madh Island. This decision almost led to a divorce with her husband, Parmeet Sethi.

Over time, she has acquired three bungalows there. Initially, her husband, Parmeet Sethi, was strongly opposed to the idea of purchasing a property on the island, even threatening to divorce her if she went ahead with the decision. Despite the early resistance, Archana went on to fulfill her dream, and today, Madh Island has become her peaceful haven.

In a conversation with Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa on their podcast BHARTI TV, Archana Puran Singh shared

"I got quite a cheap deal back then, that’s how I ended up buying it. Parmeet is someone who was used to living in flats like any other Bombay person and I was someone who had grown up in a bungalow in Dehradun. You have bigger houses in smaller cities. I was quite clear about it… I was like if you want to buy a bungalow… it cannot be just three rooms in it. It is not even a bungalow if you don’t have at least six-seven huge rooms."

She added, “He was like, ‘See, if you are talking about purchasing one, I will allow it." Archana laughed and added, “He was giving me permission." She continued, “He then said, if you are planning to take two then I am divorcing you. I was like, ‘I don’t care, you divorce me or not, I am buying the bungalow.’ When he saw I was quite serious about it, he was like ‘Okay, fine, let’s buy it.’"

Parmeet continued, “I was actually against it initially. Eventually, when I started to design it, I started to like it. What added to it was that the drive back home from work was so peaceful and relaxing. I thought to myself, I can do this every day and not just on the weekends."

Archana said, “We had actually bought the bungalow as our weekend home. We were living in a flat in Andheri. So it was Parmeet’s idea to move into the bungalow permanently. As soon as he asked me to move there, I jumped into it… after all, I was a bungalow person."

“Till date, it doesn’t have any restaurant. Even to buy groceries, we have to send the car to Versova. Now, the place is slowly developing. So many actors have now purchased properties there… I recently bought a third property there. I have eight times more than what I paid for two properties back then," said the Bol Bachchan actress.
