Archana Puran Singh recently sat down for a chat with her son Aaryamann Sethi on his vlog. During the conversation, she spoke about the time Aaryamann went through depression while studying in boarding school in London as a 13-year-old. “I faced another setback in life when you got sick in London,” she said.

Archana recalled how Aaryamann broke his leg while in boarding school in London and how this injury shattered his dream, but they did not specify the ‘dream’ they were talking about here. She said, “I knew that your dream would be shattered with this broken leg. Your heart was broken at that time, and from then till now, you have gone through so much. People don’t know about this thing. They see you laughing and enjoying, but you have seen pain behind that comedy.” Talking about how Aaryamann went through depression, she said, “You have seen darkness at that time, I saw life and joy disappear from your eyes. You had depression and anxiety at that time.”

For the unversed, Aaryamann played football in school and even represented India in the Asian Football Confederation’s U-13 nine-nation tournament in 2009. However, after breaking his leg and undergoing surgery, his dream of becoming a footballer came to an end.

Aaryamann also spoke about that difficult period and said, “People think this is not a real problem when you have money, house and family. They don’t think that this problem is real, and of course, people have much harder life than me, but that was a difficult time for me.”

Archana also shared that during this time, Aaryamann didn’t come out of his room for a year. She revealed, “You used to sit in this room and I’m not talking about days, you would be sitting here for months and even a year and you thought you could not get out of this room. I thought you wouldn’t be able to get out of this darkness. But that one year, I devoted to you, and I made sure that you come out of it. I was as unhappy as you were.”

Archana further lauded Aaryamann’s girlfriend, actor Yogita Bihani, for bringing joy into his life. “You are so happy now and with the right person in your life, it is such a blessing. I know how much she means to you and vive versa. You and Yogita fight also like me and your dad, but love is about finding true friendship.”
