Personal life[edit | edit source]

Sethi married actress Archana Puran Singh on 30 June 1992.[6] He is seven years younger than his wife Archana.[7] They have two sons.[8] He is the cousin of television actress Niki Aneja Walia.[9][10][11]

Career[edit | edit source]

Sethi made his Bollywood debut in the award-winning film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), portraying the role of Kuljeet Singh.[12][13] The movie went onto became a commercially and critically acclaimed film.[14][15] Subsequently, he starred in Diljale (1996) as Captain Ranveer with Ajay Devgn and Sonali Bendre.[16] He also starred in the critically acclaimed Punjabi language film Des Hoyaa Pardes (2004).[17] The film won a National Award for Best Feature Film in Punjabi.[18]

In 2005, he participated in the first season of Indian television dance reality show Nach Baliye with his wife Archana Puran Singh.[19] Then in 2006, he hosted another television dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa with his wife.[20]

In 2010, he tried his first directorial venture, Yash Raj's Badmaash Company starring Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Meiyang Chang, which was a success at box office earning 530 million Indian rupees.[21] Sethi wrote its entire script with dialogues in just six days.[22] The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it a rating of 3 out of 5, saying; "On the whole, Badmaash Company is a watchable experience for various reasons, the prime reason being it offers solid entertainment, but doesn't insult your intelligence."[23] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the movie 1.5 out of 5 and claimed it to be "outrageously silly".[24] Gaurav Malani of Indiatimes gave the film 3.5 out of 5 saying "Badmaash Company is a good entertainer. Worth a watch!" and praising Shahid Kapoor.[25] Komal Nahta gave the film 2.5 out of 5, praising the performance of Kapoor and called Badmaash Company "an entertainer".[26] Sukanya Verma of rediff gave the film 2 out of 5 stars saying Sethi's directorial debut starts out with cocksure confidence and zing.[27] Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Indeed, Badmaash Company does have a bunch of riveting scenes, although the story does follow a very predictable line of crime and punishment/repentance."[28] DNA gave the film 2.5 out of 5 saying, "This company is worth keeping."[29] Anupama Chopra of NDTV called it a "staggeringly tedious film" while Raja Sen of Rediff said, "There's not a single scene in the film that actually works". Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times criticised the film as half-written; he only liked the film until the interval and gave it 2 out of 5.[30] The film received an aggregate rating of 4/10 at ReviewGang.[31]

In 2008, after his appearance in the film named Dus Kahaniyaan (2007),[32][33] he took a break from acting to focus on writing and direction.[34] In 2015, he made his comeback after seven years as an actor in the Zoya Akhtar-directorial Dil Dhadakne Do (2015).[35]

He has also directed some episodes of sitcom Sumit Sambhal Lega (2015).[36][37] In 2017, he again directed another television sitcom Har Mard Ka Dard.[38][39] It starred Faisal Rashid in the lead.[40] In 2020, Sethi appeared in Neeraj Pandey-directed Hotstar Original web series Special OPS.[citation needed] In 2021, he made his Punjabi television debut with a show named Akhiyaan Udeek Diyan, which was aired on Zee Punjabi.[41]
