Archana Puran Singh: I did not get much chance to experiment with different roles
From playing a flirtatious college professor Ms Braganza in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to a vamp in the Aamir Khan starrer Raja Hindustani, actress Archana Puran Singh said that she has more to offer as an artiste.
In a telephonic interview with IANS, Archana Puran Singh talked about her journey in Indian cinema and why she feels she has not explored much into the acting world.
"Sometimes I feel that being an artiste I could have explored more in the industry. In my career, I have mostly got comic roles...I did not get much chance to experiment with different roles. It is very important to be a versatile actor and I believe I have that potential in myself," she said.
However, she said that she has no regrets.
"I am happy and satisfied with whatever God has given me. I did not even imagine that I would be able to cover such a long path in showbiz,'' said Archana Puran Singh.
''Whatever I am today is because of God's grace and my fans love. I am grateful to them,'' the actress added.
"Many actors get categorised according to the roles they do. I am also known for my comedy, it does not mean I should feel bad about it. I am proud of it. Many people have told me that if you get categorised, you should be happy about it because then you started knowing as a specialised artiste in that particular area/genre," added Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actress.
Archana made her acting debut in 1987. She was later seen in Jalwa opposite Naseeruddin Shah.
She then went on to work in films such as Agneepath, Saudagar, Shola Aur Shabnam and Aashiq Awara among many others.
The 56-year-old actress also made a stint on the small screen and rose to fame with her portrayal of Premaji in the popular TV serial Shreeman Shreemati.
