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.
