Actor Parmeet Sethi recently made a very honest and emotional confession that surprised many people. He openly admitted that during the early years of his son’s life, he was “a very bad father.”

This conversation happened on Parmeet and Archana Puran Singh’s YouTube vlog, where the couple often talks about real-life experiences.

The Truth Behind the Confession

Parmeet spoke about the time after the birth of their first son, Aaryamann Sethi. He admitted that he was mostly absent during those years.

He said he didn’t fully understand what becoming a father really meant. His involvement with his son was limited, and he even described his presence as guest appearances rather than active parenting.

According to Parmeet, it was only during Archana’s second pregnancy that reality hit him. He realised that if he didn’t step in, he might lose the chance to build a real bond with his first child. That’s when he consciously decided to spend more time with Aaryamann and become more involved as a father.

What Archana Puran Singh Said Next

Archana Puran Singh spoke about how difficult those early years were for her as a new mother. She shared that she often felt alone and unsupported, especially during nights when she had to wake up repeatedly to care for the baby.

Archana said she was physically weak, emotionally overwhelmed, and struggling, while Parmeet wasn’t fully present. Though Parmeet explained that he didn’t know how to help, Archana made one statement - not knowing is not the same as not being responsible.

Her words reflected the experience of many mothers who silently manage everything while feeling unseen.

In fact, Archana also spoke about other challenging moments, including a miscarriage and her feelings of abandonment during pregnancy, further revealing how emotional and fragile those years were for her and how little support she felt at the time.

Why Fathers Need to Be There

Fatherhood isn’t just about providing financially or being around when convenient. In the early years of a child’s life, a father’s presence plays a critical role in emotional security, confidence, and long-term bonding. When dads are absent, even unintentionally, the emotional load disproportionately falls on mothers, as Archana Puran Singh candidly revealed.

Archana’s experience reflects a reality many women face of managing sleepless nights, emotional exhaustion, and the overwhelming responsibility of caregiving alone. When fathers step back, mothers often feel unseen, unsupported, and emotionally isolated.

For children, the absence of an engaged father can shape how they perceive relationships later in life. For fathers themselves, delayed involvement often leads to regret - something Parmeet openly acknowledged only in hindsight.

 

Archana Puran Singh’s unfiltered response shows that behind every family, there are untold stories of strength, struggle, and growth. Their story shows that while mistakes can’t be erased, honest conversations can help to move ahead and maybe help others do better from the start.
