Archana Puran Singh, widely recognized for her role on The Kapil Sharma Show, regularly shares glimpses of her personal and professional life through YouTube vlogs. Although she has taken a break from her own channel, she frequently appears in her son Aaryamann's vlogs.
In a recent video, her other son Ayushmaan Sethi disclosed that he fell victim to a credit card fraud amounting to Rs 87,000. While attempting to sign up for a seven-day free trial on a website, he was charged for a full year's subscription instead.
Ayushmaan explained in his vlog, "My credit card got swiped for Rs 87,000." Archana, shocked by the news, urged him to cancel the subscription immediately. However, Ayushmaan clarified, "They took the money for the entire year under the pretext of a seven-day free trial." Later, when Parmeet laughed at a stressed Ayushmaan, Archana remarked, "He will take that money from you. So what are you so happy for?"
Detailing the incident further, Ayushmaan said, "Someone has taken money from my credit card without my permission. They had these options for seven-day trials, promising they would charge after the seventh day. But they charged me for the entire year in one go… without asking my permission." He added, "It is not some shady website. I am using it, it is fine and useful. But they confused me regarding the seven-day free trial. First, they deducted a $0 transaction, which I approved. Then after an hour, they took away Rs 87,000 without my permission."
Fans reacted swiftly in the comments section, expressing shock at how easily such scams can occur. Many advised caution when signing up for free trials and emphasized reading terms and conditions carefully. Some sympathized with Ayushmaan, calling the situation relatable and sharing their own experiences of unexpected charges.
