Parmeet Sethi calls Ozempic ‘Bollywood's favourite game', troll says Archana Puran Singh did little in acting but found fame ‘just by laughing'

Indian Express22-04-2025

Archana Puran Singh's vlogs with her family have been a hit on YouTube. With each episode, the family tries to bring in innovative, fun, and fresh content for the audience. In her latest vlog, Archana, her husband Parmeet Sethi, and their sons Aaryamann and Ayushmaan enjoyed a pizza party at home that quickly turned into a laugh riot.
The video began with Aaryamann and Ayushmaan making homemade pizzas for their parents as Archana has been on a strict diet. While they prepared healthy wheat pizzas, Parmeet couldn't help but crack an Ozempic joke, saying, 'Do you know what is Bollywood's favourite game?' He answered himself, 'Ozempic.' The joke left Archana in shock as she reacted, 'Oh my god, he went there.' A drug meant to control blood sugar levels, Ozempic also causes rapid weight loss. It is alleged that many celebs have resorted to the drug for weight transformation in the film industry.
However, this was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to all the fun Archana's family had that day. Later, they decided to go through some of the hilarious comments that viewers had dropped on their videos. While many comments lauded the family for their funny vlogs, some criticised them.
During this segment, Aaryamann pointed out all the different names the audience had come up with for Parmeet. Some called him 'Payment,' while others referred to him as ' Paytm,' 'Plumber Sethi,' and even 'Parmesan Cheese.' One fan even took a jab at Parmeet's acting and wrote, 'Permit doesn't look good while acting.' This comment had the entire family laughing their hearts out.
Another fan asked an unpleasantly odd question about whether Archana's family farts after eating chaat. While Archana herself was visibly disgusted by the question, Ayushmaan humorously quipped, 'Hume pakad liya (You caught us).'
Many fans commented on Archana too. One called her 'emotionally unbalanced' for laughing too much. Another commented on her career, writing, 'Ye actress ne zyada kaam nahi kia hai. Bus hass hass ke famous hogae. Lucky hai (She hasn't worked enough but she became famous only by laughing. Lucky).' Instead of being offended, Archana found these comments hilarious as she was seen laughing heartily while reading them.
However, she quickly came to the defence of her sons when a comment hinted at them being talentless and simply privileged because of their parents. The comment read, 'Both don't have hero vibes but they are rich.' Archana hit back at the remark, saying, 'Ayushmaan has started his app, Aaryamann does music, both are YouTubers, toh kamai toh ho rahi hai bhaisahab, don't worry (So they both are earning).' Another comment amusingly called Aaryamann a 'fox,' which had Archana in splits. Parmeet too joined in and quipped, 'I will also call him a fox from now on.'

'Aaru', ICCW's new music video, strings together Tamil Nadu's river heritage

These days, rivers in the State are remembered more for floods than for the life they once nurtured. 'Aaru-Rivers of Tamil Nadu', a new music video, seeks to gently remind us of the State's water wealth — by simply calling each river by name, and stringing them together in a soulful tribute. Launched by the International Centre for Clean Water (ICCW), a not-for-profit initiative of IIT-Madras, the seven-minute song sung by father-daughter duos aims at creating awareness on rivers, and seeks collaboration with various stakeholders on rejuvenation of rivers. Conceived, composed, and produced by Kanniks Kannikeswaran, IIT-Madras Alumnus who pioneered the Indian American choral movement, the song's lyrics have woven in names of at least 125 rivers in the State. 'This is the third video produced by ICCW since 2021. The idea is to encourage youngsters to learn the names of the rivers, rekindle reverence, and induce people to pay attention to waterways,' said E. Nandakumar, Chief Executive Officer, ICCW. While the first music video was on the rivers of India, the second one, released in 2022, depicted the significance of monsoons and rainwater harvesting. Music and arts were chosen as the media to convey powerful messages about rivers and the need for conservation. This time, the song, which is available on ICCW's YouTube channel, featured father-daughter duos — veteran singers Unnikrishnan and Uttara; Srinivas and Sharanya. 'In the first video, we had chosen mother-son duos to symbolise the generational transition in celebrating our rivers and passing on the responsibility to restore them,' Mr. Nandakumar said. Noting that the idea for the project took root during an IIT-M reunion in 2020, Mr. Kannikeswaran based in Cincinnati, USA, said: 'It was humbling to know that there are more than 125 rivers in the State during my research. Each of them powerful, but some lost their functionality over the years. I have tuned it in the Tamil folk style, blending in flavours of ragas like Senchurutti. I used alliterations and rhyming words such as 'Pongum Porunai' and 'Kongu Bhavani' to make the lyrics flow with the tune.' There are plans to bring out more such videos on rivers in other States, including Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and integrate the region's folk and classical raga traditions, he added. ICCW looks to collaborate with other educational institutions for the project.

YouTube pilots vernacular thumbnails to complement dubbing tools

YouTube is introducing a new feature that can help creators expand their global reach by tailoring their thumbnails for international audiences, according to a Business Insider report. According to a company spokesperson, the platform will soon allow select creators to upload different thumbnails for each dubbed version of their videos, enhancing the ability to localise content based on the viewer's language. The feature is expected to roll out in the coming days and will initially be available only to creators who already have access to YouTube's multi-language audio dubbing tools. YouTube has been gradually expanding these tools, which use AI to enable creators to dub their videos into other languages. The platform began testing this technology with a limited group of creators as early as 2023. 'We're always testing more ways for creators to reach new audiences,' the spokesperson told Business Insider. 'In this case, a handful of creators are able to localise their thumbnails for videos with multiple language audio tracks.' This new capability builds on YouTube's broader strategy to break language barriers and maximise content visibility worldwide. The platform has seen growing interest in dubbing among major content creators, including global YouTube star MrBeast , who has publicly embraced AI-powered dubbing as a tool to reach millions of non-English speaking viewers. By allowing localised thumbnails, YouTube not only ensures that video titles and audio match a viewer's language preferences, but also makes the visual experience more culturally relevant—potentially increasing click-through rates and engagement in diverse regions. Live Events This feature reflects YouTube's ongoing investment in global creator tools, further positioning the platform as a leader in cross-language content distribution.
