Samay Raina Roasts Archana Puran Singh’s Family Vlogs; Her Quick Response Changes the Moment

Samay Raina targeted Archana Puran Singh’s family vlogs, husband Parmeet Sethi, and sons Aaryamann and Ayushmaan during the latest episode of India’s Got Talent 2. However, the complete exchange shows a staged comedy roast in which Archana immediately joined the joke—not an unchallenged personal attack.

Episode 5, released on YouTube and Netflix on August 28, featured Archana, Orhan Awatramani popularly known as Orry Nishant Suri, and Sharon Verma on the guest panel.

While welcoming Archana, Samay referred to the family videos she began publishing in late 2024. He said in Hindi: “Maine aapke vlogs mein dekha hai ki na aapka pati kaam karta hai, na aapke do nalle bete. Woh first row mein baithe hain.”

The remark roughly translates to: “I’ve seen in your vlogs that neither your husband works nor your two idle/useless sons. They are sitting in the first row.”

“Nalle” is a colloquial insult that can mean idle, unemployed, or good-for-nothing. Translating it only as “useless” captures its insulting tone but misses some of its comic, conversational meaning.

How Archana Puran Singh responded

Aaryamann and Ayushmaan were seated in the front row when Samay delivered the line. Archana looked towards them and responded that she had warned them against sitting there.

“I told you beforehand, don’t sit in the front row, because this is not how you get fame this is how you get insulted,” she said.

Her response established the exchange as participatory roast comedy. She neither appeared offended nor attempted to shut down the joke; instead, she redirected it towards her sons and continued the banter.

Samay then asked if she knew how fame was achieved and imitated her distinctive laugh an element of her television persona that has frequently been referenced by comedians.

Samay sets up a joke about Kapil Sharma

The exchange moved from Archana’s vlogs to her long-running association with Kapil Sharma’s comedy programmes.

When Archana described laughing as difficult work, Samay quickly asked whether she meant that laughing at Kapil Sharma’s jokes was difficult. She instinctively answered yes before realizing the implication.

“I fell right into that one,” Archana acknowledged.

Samay added in Hindi, “Ek job hai, kahin woh bhi na chali jaaye” a joke suggesting that she should be careful not to lose her one job.

The humour depended on Archana’s familiar on-screen role, in which her laughter and reactions have become a regular part of Kapil’s shows. It should not be reported as a serious criticism of Kapil’s comedy or a genuine admission about her employment.

Parmeet Sethi also became part of the roast

During a discussion about relationships and money, Archana said she had not thought about wealth when she began dating.

Samay replied that her husband might have done so. Archana answered, “Maybe,” again playing along with the joke.

The episode contains several similar exchanges involving other panellists. Orry and Samay trade personal jibes, while Archana delivers her own comebacks during their conversation. The format and surrounding dialogue place the remarks within an intentionally confrontational comedy setting.

Are Parmeet and Archana’s sons actually unemployed?

Samay’s line should not be treated as a factual account of the family’s careers.

Parmeet Sethi has worked as an actor, writer, and director. Archana’s sons are also involved in creative work and digital content. Aaryamann operates AARY Vlogs and has pursued acting and music, while Ayushmaan has worked on filmmaking and advertising projects.

More broadly, Archana’s verified YouTube channel is itself a professionally produced digital operation. Its first family vlog, published in December 2024, carried credits for executive and creative producers, cinematography, editing, graphics, and channel management. By 2026, the channel had crossed one million subscribers.

The joke works precisely because the family is repeatedly shown relaxing, travelling, eating, and teasing one another in the vlogs while the labour behind producing that content stays largely outside the frame.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The most useful way to understand the clip is through the difference between a roast and a literal assertion.

Taken alone, the phrase “useless sons” sounds unnecessarily hostile. Within the full episode, Samay delivers it while the sons are seated in the most visible part of the audience, giving Archana an immediate opportunity to respond. She recognises the setup and turns their front-row seats into the punchline.

That context does not require every viewer to find the joke funny. It does, however, prevent the line from being misrepresented as a serious claim that Parmeet, Aaryamann, or Ayushmaan does no work.

Archana’s response is ultimately the more revealing part of the exchange: she understood the format, protected neither herself nor her family from the joke, and found a punchline of her own.
