Meanwhile, his wife, Archana Puran Singh gained immense fame through her appearance as a judge on reality shows like Comedy Circus and The Kapil Sharma show. Her laughter became her identity. With Archana being more famous among her audience, Parmeet recently shared if it ever bothers him with his sons often joking about him being recognised as Archana\u2019s husband in their vlogs.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Parmeet said he finds the comparison between him and his wife \u201cextremely funny\u201d. He said, \u201cYou need to understand the public. I at least have the understanding that the person who is working more, seen more, is eventually recognised more. That is a given. Archana is the judge of India\u2019s biggest show (The Great Indian Kapil Show). So its obvious that people will know her more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/mukesh-chhabra-wants-to-cast-farah-khans-cook-in-a-film-does-his-audition-another-producer-has-signed-me-for-rs-1-lakh-says-dilip-9983739\/\" class=\"\">ALSO READ | Mukesh Chhabra wants to cast Farah Khan\u2019s cook in a film, does his audition: \u2018Another producer has signed me for Rs 1 lakh,\u2019 says Dilip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He recalled the time when he was better known than his wife. \u201cThere was also a time when I did shows and films like Dastaan and DDLJ, when people knew me, would spot me and be like, \u2018Arey yaar, yeh toh Parmeet Sethi hai, Kuljeet hai yeh toh\u2019. At that time, Archana was a little bit in the background because at that point in time she was less active as an actor. These ups and downs are very normal. If today, I decide to get into daily soaps, I will reach every Indian household and people will know me by face and name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the full interview here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"IPBeyMe0pOE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Parmeet Sethi talks about his YouTube vlogs, acting career, and Badmaash Company | Screen\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IPBeyMe0pOE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Parmeet said he took a conscious decision of leaving the screen and going behind the cameras as it is something he enjoys more than acting. \u201cI am not very obsessed with wanting to be recognised and known by others.
