Veteran actress Archana Puran Singh, known for her three-decade-long career in Bollywood and television, remains a prominent name in the entertainment world. However, her son Aryaman Sethi recently shared that her stardom hasn’t translated into career opportunities for him. In a candid moment from the family’s latest vlog, Aryaman opened up about struggling to get acting roles despite giving over 100 auditions.
“I’m Facing Reverse Nepotism,” Says Aryaman
During a lighthearted family outing featured in the vlog, Aryaman humorously commented on his situation:
“I am Archana’s son, so I’m overacting. Maybe that’s why I’m not getting work.”
He further added that despite consistent effort, he feels he's a victim of reverse nepotism, suggesting that being the child of a celebrity might actually be working against him.
His comment came during a pizza outing with mother Archana, father Parmeet Sethi, and brother Ayushman Sethi. The vlog, shared on Archana’s social media, captured the family joking about viewer comments and sharing their experiences.
Archana Puran Singh’s Journey from Films to Digital Fame
Archana Puran Singh made her mark in Indian cinema during the 90s, known for her versatile roles across comedy and drama genres. She later became a household name through her television presence, particularly as a judge on The Kapil Sharma Show.
In recent years, Archana has expanded her influence to the digital space, launching a popular family vlog that showcases her daily life, candid moments, and personal stories. Fans appreciate the warmth and humor in her content, which often features her family and gives a peek into the lives of celebrities beyond the spotlight.
Despite Fame, Challenges Persist for Star Kids
Aryaman’s honest admission highlights the ongoing debate in Bollywood about nepotism vs. talent. While many assume star kids have easier access to opportunities, Aryaman’s story shows that breaking into the industry can be equally challenging—even for those with famous parents.
