Veteran actors Parmeet Sethi and Archana Puran Singh have always been known for their progressive outlook and refreshingly honest take on life, relationships, and parenting. True to form, the much-loved couple recently opened up about their son Aaryamann Sethi’s decision to live in with his girlfriend Yogita, expressing complete support and understanding for his choices.
In a recent interview, the couple revealed that Aaryamann, who has been gradually stepping into the entertainment industry, is currently living with his long-time girlfriend. Instead of reacting conservatively, both Parmeet and Archana have embraced his decision with maturity, saying that times have changed and that relationships today are built on companionship, trust, and equality rather than societal expectations.
Speaking about the subject, Archana Puran Singh said with her trademark warmth, “We are absolutely fine with Aaryamann living in with his girlfriend. He’s a grown-up man who knows what makes him happy. Shaadi ke liye abhi bahut time hai — there’s no rush. We’d rather see him build a strong relationship based on understanding before taking that step.”
She further explained that she and Parmeet have always believed in giving their children the freedom to make their own choices, whether personal or professional. “We’ve raised our sons to think for themselves and to live honestly. As parents, our job isn’t to control their lives but to guide and support them. If Aaryamann is happy, that’s all that matters to us,” Archana said.
Echoing her sentiments, Parmeet Sethi added, “Archana and I grew up in a different generation, but we’ve always tried to evolve with time. The world has changed — relationships are different now. People want to understand their partners better before marriage, and that’s perfectly fine. Aaryamann is responsible and grounded, so we trust his judgment completely.”
The couple’s candid and open-minded approach has earned them widespread praise from fans and netizens alike. Many social media users have lauded them for being supportive, modern parents who prioritize emotional well-being and mutual respect over societal pressure.
Archana and Parmeet, who themselves share one of Bollywood’s most enduring marriages, often speak about how their relationship was built on friendship and mutual understanding. They tied the knot in 1992 after dating for several years — at a time when their relationship too faced questions and criticism from traditional circles. Perhaps that’s why they’re able to relate so well to their son’s choices today.
Fans of the couple have always admired their refreshing chemistry, humor, and honesty — traits often seen when they appear together on TV or social media. Archana, best known for her roles in The Kapil Sharma Show, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Bol Bachchan, and Parmeet, who made his mark in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and numerous television projects, continue to be adored as one of Bollywood’s most down-to-earth and relatable couples.
When asked if they see a wedding happening anytime soon, Archana laughed and replied, “Let them enjoy their youth! There’s no need to rush into marriage. They’ll know when the time is right.”
Her response perfectly encapsulates the couple’s philosophy — that love should be based on freedom, not obligation.
As Aaryamann continues to explore his career and personal life, it’s clear that he has the unconditional love and support of two parents who understand that happiness and compatibility matter more than tradition or timing. And in today’s fast-changing world, Parmeet Sethi and Archana Puran Singh’s progressive parenting is a breath of fresh air — a reminder that love, trust, and acceptance always begin at home.
