The Sethi household is expanding once again, proving that Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi are leading the way in modern, progressive Indian parenting. In a heartwarming series of events captured by the family’s resident YouTube vlogger, Aaryamann Sethi, the younger son Ayushmaan Sethi and girlfriend Samiksha Shetty have officially moved into the family’s sprawling Madh Island bungalow. This move comes just months after the elder son, Aaryamann, welcomed his partner, actor Yogita Bihani, into the same home.
A Grand Welcome at the Madh Island Bungalow
The transition was marked by a blend of cinematic romance and family warmth. As Samiksha Shetty prepared to leave her Mumbai residence, the emotional weight of the move was evident. Accompanied by Ayushmaan, Aaryamann, and Yogita, she bid a tearful goodbye to her previous home before heading to the serene outskirts of Madh Island.
Upon arriving at the Sethi residence, Ayushmaan swept Samiksha off her feet—quite literally. In a romantic gesture that went viral across Bollywood news platforms, he carried her across the threshold and all the way to the sofa. Watching from the balcony, Archana Puran Singh was seen cheering and clapping with visible joy, exclaiming, "Look at this, oh my God!" The moment was a deliberate tribute to family history; Ayushmaan revealed he wanted to recreate the memory of his father, Parmeet Sethi, carrying Archana up four floors when they first married.
Why did Ayushmaan Sethi's girlfriend bring a coffee machine as dahej?
The "coffee machine dahej" joke was a light-hearted moment shared by Samiksha Shetty during her move into the Sethi household. She playfully referred to the appliance as "dahej" (dowry) because her future father-in-law, Parmeet Sethi, is a well-known coffee enthusiast who specifically needed a high-quality machine in the house. The joke highlighted the family's humorous and relaxed dynamic.
Who is Ayushmaan Sethi? From Ivy League Offers to Acting Passion
While often seen in his brother’s vlogs, Ayushmaan Sethi possesses a formidable background of his own. He gained significant attention after revealing that he ranked within the top 100 students globally during his Class 12 exams. This academic excellence earned him an offer from a prestigious Ivy League institution, a dream for many aspiring scholars.
However, Ayushmaan chose to decline the Ivy League path to stay in Mumbai and pursue his acting passion. Despite his family’s industry connections, he has been vocal about the "struggle" of the craft, admitting to facing numerous rejections at auditions. His parents have remained supportive, with Archana often documenting his journey of perseverance on her YouTube channel, which she launched in early 2024. Ayushmaan's goal remains clear: to make his parents' name even more famous through high-quality work in cinema.
The Rs 87,000 Credit Card Scam Drama
Life in the Sethi household isn't always scripted romance; it also involves real-world hurdles. Recently, Ayushmaan shared a cautionary tale regarding a credit card scam that left him Rs 87,000 poorer. The fraud occurred when he signed up for what he believed was a "seven-day free trial" on a utility website.
- The Hook: The site requested a $0 transaction for verification, which Ayushmaan approved.
- The Hit: Within an hour, the service provider charged him for an entire year's subscription without further authorization.
- The Reaction: While Ayushmaan was visibly stressed, Parmeet Sethi reacted with his trademark humor, laughing at the situation, while Archana reminded her son that he would eventually have to reimburse the loss himself.
Renovations and the "Open Home" Philosophy
The Sethi family’s decision to support live-in relationships under their roof is a significant departure from traditional Indian norms. This "open home" philosophy fosters a transparent environment where the children’s partners are treated as family members long before any formal wedding bells ring. Experts suggest that such parental support can significantly reduce the psychological pressure on young couples, allowing them to build a foundation of trust within a safe family ecosystem.
The move-in has also sparked some friendly sibling rivalry regarding renovation costs. Aaryamann, who is currently revamping a house gifted by his parents, noted that Ayushmaan spent "double the money" to renovate his single room for Samiksha’s arrival. While Aaryamann and Yogita Bihani are reportedly funding their own renovations as they prepare for a potential 2024 wedding, Ayushmaan candidly admitted that his parents stepped in to help him create a perfect space for Samiksha.

Looking Ahead: A New Chapter for the Sethis
As the Sethi family continues to share their lives through the Aaryamann Sethi vlog and Archana’s social media, they are redefining what it means to be a "modern" Bollywood family. With Yogita Bihani and Aaryamann reportedly looking toward marriage in the near future, and Ayushmaan Sethi girlfriend Samiksha now fully integrated into the household, the Madh Island bungalow is becoming a hub of new beginnings. Whether it’s navigating financial scams or celebrating academic milestones, the Sethis continue to prove that transparency and humor are the best ways to manage a household in the public eye.
