What happened between Samay Raina and Archana Puran Singh
While introducing Archana as a panellist, Samay said he had been a fan of hers since watching her play Miss Braganza in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. He then brought up her family vlogs, saying, “I have seen your vlogs; neither does your husband work, nor do your two ‘nalle sons’.”With her sons seated in the front row, Archana responded, “I told you guys don’t sit in the front row; this is not how you get fame, this is how you get insulted.”Samay continued the jibes, saying, “And your father (Parmeet Sethi) doesn’t do anything. In her house, reverse patriarchy is happening. Only women are working.” Archana shot back, “All over the world women are working, but men don’t call it work.”He then suggested her work doesn’t count as a real job, to which Archana replied, “That’s the toughest job.” Samay questioned, “To laugh at Kapil Sharma’s jokes?” before adding, “She has one job, and she will lose that too after this show.”
