Post announcing the engagement of son, influencer/singer Aaryamann Sethi, to girlfriend Yogita Bihani, Archana Puran Singh and family took a trip to meet another YouTube star, staying all the way in Uttarakhand. Sourav is a veteran of the YouTube game, with over 35 million subscribers on his channel, and he made a vlog about the family’s visit to his home. Archana, Parmeet Sethi, Ayshmann Sethi, Aaryamann and Yogita were all welcomed with warm greetings and a flower bouquet, and Sourav even touched Archana and Parmeet’s feet as they got out of the car.
Both the families were introduced to each other, and Archana was particularly excited to meet Sourav’s cousin Kunali and his mother. Upon meeting her, she hugged her and said, “Mai aapko itne vlog mai dekh chuki ho ki aisa lagta hai ki ham pehle se jaante hai aapko” (I feel like I already know you because I have seen you in so many vlogs). She introduced Yogita as “hamari hone wali bahu” (future daughter-in-law). The family then cooled off in the living room, as Parmeet and Aaryamann appreciated Sourav’s pencil sketches hanging on the wall. Archana and Parmeet explained to Sourav’s family how much they love to see them in his vlogs and how they never miss a single episode.
Sourav asked Archana the reason behind starting her own YouTube channel, and she said, “During lockdown, I started posting small videos with my house-help, Bhagyashree, on Instagram because I had too much time on my hands. People called me up and told me that what I was doing was called vlogging, and I didn’t even know. The videos were going viral, and Bhagyashree became world famous. So Farah Khan suggested to me that I should start a proper channel. We have done theatre, films, TV, and OTT. The only thing that was left was having a presence on YouTube. Kayi baar mai thak jaati hoon aur mann nahi hota, par logon ke comments aate hai ki, ‘aap hamare jeene ke ek aur karan hai’, ya ‘aap ka parivaar dekh kar hamein bohot acha lagta hai‘” (Sometimes I’m too tired for YouTube and I don’t feel like doing it, but then people post comments saying ‘you give us another reason to live’, or ‘we feel very happy seeing your family’).
Parmeet added and said, “I believe this is the future of entertainment. Be it movies or OTT, this is the biggest avenue out there, and if this indeed is the future, then we wanted to be a part of it.”
After lunch, Sourav took the entire gang to his new house, which is still being constructed. They were excited to see the huge structure that Sourav had been able to afford at such a young age (24) and the beautiful views that were up for display from the terrace of his house. Archana loved the house so much that she struck a deal with Sourav to live there whenever she is in town in exchange for letting him live with them whenever he comes to Mumbai. Gaming rooms were discovered, guest rooms were discussed, and the family even got temporarily locked in a ‘secret room’ before saying their goodbyes and leaving for home.
