Archana Approves Son Dating Samiksha, 6 Years Older

Archana Puran Singh’s family has been turning everyday life into YouTube content for a while, but the latest chapter is personal even by vlog standards. Her younger son Ayushmaan Sethi has spoken on his own channel about his relationship with yoga instructor Samiksha Shetty, who is 6 years older than him. Archana is not just aware of the relationship — she is publicly rooting for it.

The relationship, in the family’s words

Ayushmaan said the two met through Yogita Bihani, who is engaged to his brother Aaryamann, and they have been together for around one-and-a-half years. Samiksha admitted her first impression was different: she initially thought of him as a kid, partly because she was in what she called her “Devdas era.” Both were also coming out of difficult relationships. Over time, she said, she began to see Ayushmaan as sweet and mature.

A health scare brought them closer. The couple then took a first international holiday together to France and Portugal, and later travelled to London with the Sethi family.

Archana’s ‘perfect couple’ blessing

Archana did not hold back in the video. Her endorsement was not about the age gap; she framed it as a question of recognising goodness.

“I think you guys are the perfect couple.”

She praised the couple’s calm, positive energy and said people around them believe they are made for each other. Archana also recalled telling Ayushmaan that finding a nice partner is about destiny, and that when a good person shows up, timing should not become an excuse to wait. Parmeet Sethi called the bond solid, beautiful and positive, adding, “You complete each other.”

From flatmate to family home

Samiksha lived with a flatmate in Mumbai. When the flatmate moved out and she began looking for a new place, the couple started discussing living together in the future. Ayushmaan then suggested she move into the Sethi family home, where she now lives with his parents, brother Aaryamann, Yogita Bihani and the grandparents.

Here is a quick look at where the relationship stands in the family’s timeline:

• Met through Yogita Bihani, Aaryamann’s fiancée
• Together for around one-and-a-half years
• Samiksha moved into the Sethi family home
• Ayushmaan has started his own YouTube channel

Why a family update became content

The Sethis already share food challenges, family moments and routines on Archana’s channel and Aary Vlogs. With Ayushmaan now launching his own channel, the line between private milestone and public content is nearly gone. That is not necessarily a bad thing. For a Bollywood-adjacent family, the audience gets the same warm, protective energy Archana is known for, and the age gap is treated as a non-issue rather than a debate.

For fans of film families, this is a reminder that today’s celebrity-adjacent vlog can be as much about intimate approval as it is about glamour. Archana’s message is essentially the advice many families give, but it now plays out in front of an audience — and likely in upcoming videos, not just this one.
