This show was one of the earliest television shows of the present day “Laughter Queen” of Indian Television,
Archana Puran Singh
.She had earlier done TV shows like Uncensored and Jane Bhi Do Paro which were also very successful. A very few number of people know that this was actually the second run of this show as the first run was very unsuccessful and it had to be stopped. But the producers saw the potential in it and decided to relaunch the show in a whole new avatar and a lot of more humor and fun.
Temptingly named Archana Talkies, the show was an interesting mixture of celebrity chat, fun guests and other mirch-masala complemented with Archana’s unique humor. The show was about celebrities who had stories to share, about real people behind renowned faces, a sort of Movers and Shakers (famous chat show of those times) with loads of fun. A number of celebrities came to the show and shared their lives and likes on the screen including the rising stars of those times, like
Sharad Kapoor
and
Chandrachur Singh
. Archana also shared gossips about Bollywood parties on the show. According to the critics, considering the host’s talent, it was a pity that the show was not doing well before, but the new look had given a great boost to its TRP and also a great deal of self confidence to her. In the show there was also a concept of making a secret wish true of one of the audience viewers which was decided by the means of lucky draw. The show was a complete entertainment package for the whole family.
