Archana Puran Singh's son sulks as dad Parmeet Sethi gets him credit card with ‘super low' limit, actress is horrified to see showpiece with Rs 2 lakh tag
She recalled with a smile, 'Both Aryamann and Ayushmaan were little at the time. We were in Singapore and had walked into a toy store. Ayushmaan, who was really tiny back then, grabbed a shopping cart and started picking up every doll he could reach. He just kept tossing toys into the cart — sometimes two or three of the same kind! I told him, 'Ayushmaan, you can't take so many toys. We have to pay for all this. Mumma doesn't have that much money.' He stopped and I thought he would put the toys back. But instead, he looked at me and said, 'Mumma, you don't need money. You have a card!' I couldn't stop laughing. How do you explain to a child that a credit card actually requires more money?'
Aryamann chimed in, 'From that day till now, he still believes, 'Mumma has a card, so there's no problem.''
His father Parmeet Sethi, added playfully, 'Unfortunately, now he's finally getting a card of his own.' A mildly disappointed Ayushmaan replied, 'But the limit is super low.' To which Parmeet quipped, 'I did that on purpose.'

After finishing their dosa, the family headed to Dubai Mall for some furniture shopping. While browsing one of the stores, Ayushmaan spotted an elegant Indian showpiece and excitedly called out, 'Mom, this is Indian!' Curious, he checked the price tag and said, 'Wow, it's Rs 70,000!'
Archana's eyes widened as she exclaimed, 'My God! An Indian item is this expensive here?'
A moment later, Ayushmaan paused, went back to check again, and corrected himself, 'Oops, I misread it. It's not RS 70,000. It's almost Rs 2 lakh!'
At that, Archana turned and dramatically walked away, saying, 'Main door jaa rahi hoon (I'm going far away).' She laughed and added, 'Seriously, some of these prices are just too expensive!'
