Archana Puran Singh fires back at Samay Raina; vlogging feud heats up

During the latest episode of Samay Raina’s reality show India’s Got Latent 2, the host found himself in a verbal tussle with veteran actress Archana Puran Singh. The episode, which also featured actor Orry (Orhan Awatramani) on the judging panel, saw Raina making a pointed remark about Archana’s vlogging activities. When a contestant, AR Tiwari, mentioned that he “dances, vlogs, rap” after performing a Bhojpuri shayari, Raina quipped, “Did you say vlog? Vlogging doesn’t need talent.” The comment was interpreted as a sly dig at the actress, who is known for sharing family vlogs on her YouTube channel.

Archana did not let the jab go unanswered. In front of a live audience, she fired back with a sharp retort, declaring, “Gaaliyan dena talent hai,” which translates to “Abusing is talent.” The crowd erupted in cheers, and Raina was left without an immediate comeback. He later continued to tease Archana’s signature laugh and even poked fun at her sons, who were seated in the front row. The host admitted to being a fan of Archana’s performance as Miss Braganza in the 2003 film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and used that as a segue to comment on her vlogs, saying, “I have seen your vlogs; neither does your husband work, nor do your ‘nalle sons’. In your house, reverse patriarchy is happening. Only women are working.”

Archana’s sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan Sethi, laughed at the joke but were quickly reminded by their mother that “I warned you not to sit in front row, this is not how you get fame, this is how you get insulted.” Raina’s continued jabs at Archana’s laughter kept the tension alive throughout the episode.

Archana’s foray into digital media began in December 2024 when she and her husband, Parmeet Sethi, launched the YouTube channel AAAP Ka Parivaar. The idea was sparked by informal videos she started filming with her house help, Bhagyashree, during the COVID‑19 lockdown. Those clips gained popularity on Instagram, prompting friends Bharti Singh and Farah Khan to encourage her to create a dedicated channel. What started as a casual family experiment evolved into a popular series that offers candid glimpses into the Sethi family’s everyday life, including banter, celebrations, travel, food outings, and celebrity interactions.

Both Archana and Parmeet have expanded their online presence, with the couple now running a segment on their channel where they go on dates and revisit their relationship. Their sons have also launched their own vlogging channels, further cementing the family’s status as a digital sensation. The recent feud on India’s Got Latent 2 has only added to the public’s interest in the Sethi household’s dynamic, blending traditional celebrity drama with the intimacy of family vlogs.
