Actor and TV personality Archana Puran Singh’s son Aaryamann Sethi revealed in a recent vlog that he has faced over 100 rejections in auditions, humorously blaming it on “reverse nepotism.” The light-hearted comment was made during a family outing, shared on Archana’s YouTube channel.
The vlog featured Archana, her husband Parmeet Sethi, and sons Aaryamann and Ayushmann, visiting pizzerias and discussing online trolls. The fun exchange began when the family read fan comments poking fun at them. One said, “Tum chaaron gadhe ho” (All four of you are donkeys), while another quipped the sons lacked “hero vibes” but were rich.

Reacting to the teasing, Aaryamann responded with a witty line:
“Overacting! Have learnt it from you only, and that’s why I still haven’t gotten even a single role after 100 auditions. Reverse nepotism is going on with me.”
Archana, in her classic comic timing, replied:
“It’s not like you aren’t getting roles because I’m your mother. You must be doing something wrong.”
The playful tone of the conversation took a turn when Aaryamann joked about slapping casting directors—leading Archana to quickly interject, hoping it was a joke. “My heart stopped for a second!” she said.
