Talking to Ali, Archana said \u2018My real name is Sudha and I met Balu Mahendra while studying in the Film Institute. He changed my name to Archana in <em>Nireekshana<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018People who took my photos in the starting said that I am not fit for films. Balu Mahendra encouraged and gave me ample chances to prove my talent and that\u2019s why I consider him my Guru. I acted in many films with Bhanu Chander and we used to quarrel a lot on the sets. I never felt bad about my dark complexion and in fact, I am proud of it. I accepted a film from a big production house after 25 years and its shooting will start shortly\u2019, concluded Archana.<\/p>\n<p>TLN wishes her all the very best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nireekshana is a 1982 Tollywood film which garnered classic status due to its realistic portrayal of love.
