Archana Puran Singh, celebrated for her impeccable acting skills and comic timing, continues to stay connected with her fans through her engaging YouTube vlogs. In a recent video shared on her channel, her son Aaryamann offered a heartfelt glimpse into their family life. The clip features Archana and her husband Parmeet Sethi reading an essay Aaryamann wrote during his school days in London.
In the essay, Aaryamann expressed how he would often stare at his hostel room door, hoping his mother would visit him unannounced. Archana, visibly emotional, admitted her regret over not visiting him during that period. Parmeet noted how the essay was beautifully written but particularly highlighted the poignant last line. Archana responded, saying, "I feel like I should have visited you during that time, and it really hurts me that I didn't do it."
In another vlog, Aaryamann opened up about his battle with anxiety and depression. Reflecting on the turning point in his life, he shared, "The tough part was leaving home, and I only decided that I wanted to leave home and play football in England, and you guys made it happen. I left home when I was 14 years old. I stayed there for three weeks and, just as I settled in, I broke my leg. Then it became very difficult for me. I came back to India, was in the hospital, got crutches, and had surgery."
He continued, "I went there again the next year, and it was 10th standard, so I had to study hard as well. I was not playing properly because I was still recovering from my surgery. To see everyone around me grow faster and stronger at an age when people are supposed to do that, while I was going backwards, was difficult. I was not able to catch up."
The experience left a deep emotional impact on Aaryamann. Opening up about his struggles, he admitted that the abrupt end of his football dream led him down a difficult path. "With that dream going away, I got into depression. I still deal with depression. I had panic attacks, anxiety attacks, my hands would shake, and I had bouts of depression so severe that I would not even come out of my room and would stay there all day. London was tough on me. Reassurance doesn't help in depression; only spending time with that person does, and you all spent time with me. Mom has been the most supportive," he said.
