Relationship, Wife & Children

Parmeet met Archana Puran Singh for the first time at a friend’s party. It was love at first sight for Parmeet Sethi. In an interview Parmeet 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.

After this party, they started hanging out more often. Archana was a little reluctant to start a relationship with Parmeet after her failed marriage with her first husband. Later, the couple started dating and decided to move in a live-in relationship. After four years of their live-in relationship, the couple eloped and got married on 30 June 1991 or 30 June 1992 . Initially, Parmeet’s parents were not happy with their marriage as Archana was seven years older to Parmeet and was a divorcee. Parmeet and Archana did not announce their marriage in public even after four years of their marriage. In an interview, Parmeet 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 still remain the best of friends even today.”

The couple has two sons Aaryamann Sethi and Ayushmaan Sethi.
