Inside Archana Puran Singh’s parenting journey: Love, laughter, and life lessons

The couple, where actress Archana Puran Singh and her husband, Parmeet Sethi, have managed to craft a special chemistry around the combination of humor, honesty, and emotional support, got married in 1992. Archana and her husband are parents to two boys, Aaryamann Sethi, currently 32 years old and in an intimate relationship with actress Yogita Bihani, and his younger brother, Ayushmaan Sethi, who is also seen frequently in their videos. The actress recently got candid in her talks on her YouTube channel, revealing the differences between having difficulties in raising children and helping her sons grow into independent people.

Parenting through laughter and honesty

Archana thinks that humor isn’t just used for entertaining but also for bringing people closer. Archana and her husband have, in their YouTube vlog, made use of humour for calming down arguments and also for teaching life lessons in an entertaining manner. “We joke, we tease, but every laugh also brings us closer. That’s how my sons know they are safe here,” Archana is seen saying in her recent family video. Parmeet has added insightfully, “Disciplining is essential, but the way you do it is also vital.” This has helped their sons feel supported emotionally, yet express themselves in a manner that is seen in the video.




Overcoming early parenting stumbles

Not all parenting situations have been smooth-sailing for the pair. In an honest confessional, Parmeet shared that he hadn’t been ideal during the early years of Aaryamann’s life, confessing that he was a “bad father.” However, Archana has also spoken candidly about how weak and vulnerable she felt during the early stages of her son’s life, with her partner often away for work commitments. She shared that she had to bear the brunt of the responsibilities on her own.

Supporting emotional growth openly

Their parenting style doesn’t just encompass the disciplinary and routine aspects of the children, but also the emotional quotient. In a recent candid chat, Aaryamann opened up about his past struggles, like fighting depression after a major injury, and the struggles he encountered during his teenage days spent living overseas. He attributed his parents, especially his mom, for being pillars of support during this tough period for the actor. One of the positive emerges from the emotional spaces encouraged by Archana and Parmeet, through embracing the emotional support of therapy, for every parent out there.

Balancing individuality and togetherness

Despite the fact that the two boys are comfortable in front of the camera, the duo has been careful never to compare the two experiences. “We live with each of our sons as individuals,” said Archana in a vlog on the experience of family travel and food opportunities. “We support Ayushmaan's sibling, and Aaryamann has his goals and ambitions, and that's the equation.” Humility and hard work are two themes that the actor often focuses on, and he encourages his children never to lose the two values.



Parenting beyond the screen

Today, the content that Archana and Parmeet’s family produces is not just entertainment; it is also an exposure into modern parenting in a public space. Their children’s achievement of milestones and their aspirations for successful careers are shared with the same authenticity that they share about other issues. In an earlier tweet, Archana said that while people are concerned about her laughter, her family’s bond is what has people tuning into her content. The focus on parenting that is positive is about connection, patience, and love.
