If actor Archana Puran Singh had taken the advice of her close friend, she would never have married Parmeet Sethi. Thankfully, she didn't and today the two share a beautiful relationship and lead a happy married life.

"My friend told me that Parmeet has a great face and body but he'll never be successful. Today, he has proved everyone wrong," reveals Archana. She goes on to admit that she still shares a strong bond with her friend, who now lovingly calls her (Archana's) husband 'Bittu'.

For Archana and her friend, the so-called, good intentioned advice is now a thing of the past and a joke that cracks them up. But where does one draw the line? Would you tell your friend that her boyfriend is a loser?

As Archana puts it, "It completely depends on the kind of relationship I share with my friend. If it is someone I am really close to, I would express my opinion. At the end of the day though, it is more important that my friend is happy with her man."



Prahlad believes that as a friend it is his duty to tell his friends that they are in a relationship that is not the best for them. "I am strongly intuitive about people. If I don't like someone, I tell my friends. Naturally, my opinion is never taken positively," he admits.

Actor Koel Purie agrees with Prahlad, "I am always telling my friends what is good or bad for them. But we are all still friends because these are the people I have known for ages; we love each other."

According to Koel, if friendship is genuine and not frivolous, it's fine to interfere. "That's what friendship is all about!" she declares. However, she does draw the line about talking badly about friends behind their back. As she puts it, "It is ok to discuss issues that concern you and share them with common friends but bitching is a strict no-no."
