Archana Puran Singh's son Ayushmaan was among the top 100 in the world in Class 12, gave up Ivy League college for acting: ‘My teachers were disappointed'
Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi's sons Ayushmaan and Aaryamann have been appearing in their family's vlogs for the past few months and in their latest family vlog, Ayushmaan shared with celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor that he actually started a small bakery when he was growing up. In the same chat, Archana's son shared that he was one of the top-performing kids in his school and was placed in the top 100 in the world based on his scores in 12th standard and while everyone pushed him to join an Ivy League college, he stuck to his passion of creative arts and follow his parents' footsteps. Talking about his journey with food, Ayushmaan shared, 'We live in Madh Island. No one delivers here. Swiggy and Zomato just started delivering two months ago. My brother and I wanted to eat pasta and pizza. I was always fascinated by food. By then MasterChef was already on TV. So whatever we wanted to eat, we started cooking it at home. Within a year or so, I was baking my own bread. I had my own bakery from where I used to sell locally. It was terrible as I ended up making many losses but from that, I found this love for food.' Ayushmaan Sethi then spoke about his academic excellence and shared that his teachers were 'disappointed' in him when he chose to not follow an academic path. 'I was always very good at studies. I always got the first rank in my class, even in class 10 and 12. I was in the top 100 of the world and everyone said, 'Now you will go to an Ivy League college.' I applied, and I got in as well but then I was like… I don't want to do it,' he shared and added, 'I decided that I want to be in a creative field, and get into acting.'
