Relationship With Julianna Margulies 

The fact that Archie Panjabi’s relationship with Julianna Margulies was strained was an open secret in Hollywood. The two were lead characters on the hit CBS show The Good Wife. No one knows exactly when their relationship became frosty but it apparently got so bad that they couldn’t be on screen together.

The ice-cold relationship eventually affected the show’s plot with the writers having to include plotlines explaining why the two were not on screen together. Eventually, Archie Panjabi left the show altogether even though her character was immensely popular with audiences and critics, even inspiring a loyal fandom. Before leaving the show, the two hadn’t been onscreen together in nearly 30 episodes. Even in the final episode before Punjabi left the show, they were shown to share a drink together but in actuality, they filmed the scenes separately using body doubles and it was later edited to make it seem like they were together.

When asked about their alleged feud, Julianna tried to play off as though the press was just making up rumors but Archie confirmed otherwise. Now that the show has been off the air, the two have no need to interact and have no semblance of a relationship or friendship.
