After a brief hiatus, she made a comeback with the film Identity, starring Tovino Thomas and Trisha Krishnan. Over the years, she has appeared in popular films such as Mummy & Me, Salt N’ Pepper, Best of Luck, Aravaan, and Once Upon a Time There Was a Kallan. Apart from films, Archana has also showcased her charm as a TV host in shows like Talk With Archie, Ente Priya Ganangal, Bloody Love, and Travel.

Little is publicly known about Rick Varghese, but reports suggest he is a Kochi-based entrepreneur with a strong background in the media and creative industry.
