Archana started her Bollywood journey in the late 1980s with films like Jalwa alongside Naseeruddin Shah. But matlab, her real claim to fame came with comedy roles in movies like Shola Aur Shabnam (1992) with Govinda and Divya Bharti.
Her comic timing in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai as the cool teacher Ms. Briganza made her a household name. Shah Rukh Khan ke saath us film mein her scenes were absolutely hilarious yaar!
