Paras Kalnawat Returns To TV With A Bang In Parineeti After 8-Month Break
Paras Kalnawat was asked to leave Anupamaa midway, but the actor didn't give up on his hopes.
Actor Paras Kalnawat made his most anticipated comeback to the small screen after taking a break from television. Stepping into the role of Aditya Kashyap in Parineeti, Paras has joined the show after a generational shift. Alongside Paras, the serial also features Anchal Sahu in the lead roles.
During a recent interview with Times of India TV, the actor opened up about his comeback to the small screen, shared insights into his role and revealed his sudden exit from Anupamaa. According to Paras, returning to a show produced under Balaji Telefilms made him feel like he had returned home. 'This comeback feels emotional and exciting at the same time," the actor shared. After his last show, Paras took eight months off from the spotlight to work on himself, and he is back better than ever.
Previously, the actor's sudden exit from Anupamaa sparked controversies. The actor was asked to leave the show midway, but he didn't give up on his hopes. Talking about the incident, Paras opened up to say that many people had told him he was taking a big risk and warned him, but he wanted to take the chance. 'Not everyone gets that opportunity. And if I hadn't, maybe I would've felt sad," he stated while thanking God for giving him the chance to prove himself.
Recalling this tough time, Paras explained that he never had self-doubt during this time. 'Even when my family had concerns about why I suddenly had to leave the show, I told them, 'I want to do what's right, not just what's big,'" the actor stated proudly.
The actor is currently playing the lead in Parineeti, which has taken a 20-year leap, heightening the excitement among the fans. Talking about joining the show, Paras explained, 'This feels like a great opportunity. It's rare to get a chance to enter a popular show that's already doing so well." The actor took this chance and is willing to give his maximum efforts to win the hearts of the audience.
Talking about his role in Parineeti, Paras described Aditya as confident and stylish – someone who doesn't believe in love. He further described how Aditya is different from the other characters he usually plays. 'I've played sweet and romantic characters, but Aditya has a more serious side," Paras stated while explaining that the role is extremely special to him as it has helped him grow as an actor.

Exclusive - Sudhanshu Pandey breaks silence on Harsh Gujral's below the belt comments linking him to Elnaaz Norouzi in 'The Traitors'
Anupamaa fame actor Sudhanshu Pandey finally addressed the uncomfortable comment made by comedian Harsh Gujral on the reality show The Traitors. Fans, who had been urging Sudhanshu to speak up, raised the topic during the live chat, asking how he felt about Harsh's loose statement suggesting Sudhanshu was 'going gaga over Elnaaz Norouzi' and that he "needed to be controlled. " The remark, which many found cheap and disrespectful, did not sit well with audiences, especially those who have admired Sudhanshu Pandey's dignified and graceful conduct throughout the show. Sudhanshu, known for his calm and composed personality, responded in a subtle but firm manner. He expressed genuine disappointment at Harsh Gujral's choice of words and how the incident personally affected him and his family. While talking to Times of India TV, Sudhanshu said, "Humour should never come at the cost of someone's dignity. When I heard what Harsh Gujral said about me, I was sitting with my family, watching the show together. It became an extremely awkward and uncomfortable moment for all of us, especially for my kids. Some things cannot be brushed off as a joke." He further said, "Words carry weight, especially when said on public platforms. I genuinely believe people like Harsh Gujral, who come from the comedy space, should think very carefully before making such loose comments about anyone, let alone a senior actor. I have always chosen to play my game and live my life with dignity, grace, and respect, and I sincerely hope people realise that some lines should never be crossed in the name of humour - never!" Throughout "The Traitors", Sudhanshu Pandey has won over fans for his powerful game play. Unlike others who get caught in controversies, he has kept his game clean, sharp, and respectful, staying away from dirty tactics and drama. Fans continue to applaud Sudhanshu Pandey for handling this situation with maturity. His subtle strength, pure strategy, and classy approach have earned him respect on the show. Sudhanshu Pandey: My resolution is to learn what not to do

Pandey called out his co-contestant on the show for her "disrespectful tone" while addressing a senior actor. The actor, in his Instagram live video, questioned the current generation for casually referring to a veteran like Vidyarthi. He said, "Apoorva, who is known as The Rebel Kid, already has enough controversies surrounding her. I'm not saying she's a bad person." He emphasised how the choice of words can ruin people's perception, even if someone is a good person. The actor further said, "She's a good kid. I'm sure she has a good heart too. But jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na, toh wo sab kuch kharaab kar deti hai (Your tone and words can damage everything)." "Everything else goes for a toss if you do not have the know-how about what to say, and how to speak, about people who are senior to you. Ashish bhai- Ashish Vidyarthi- who is such a senior actor-he's very senior to me as well. So, behind my back, she was talking about Ashish bhai, and was saying, ' Mujhe lagta hai Ashish jayega . (I feel Ashish will go)'," he added. Pandey reflected that Mukhija's tone of addressing Vidyarthi sounded as if he was her childhood friend. He said, " Ashish jayega (Ashish will go)? Is he your childhood friend or what? What kind of way is this to talk about people â€' about actors who are older than even your parents?" The actor called such behaviour "a curse on our society." "You're talking about them like this behind their back? What does this say about you? Please tell me â€' is this Gen Z? Is this what we think is cool? No, I'm sorry â€' this is not cool at all," he went on. The 'Anupamaa' actor further said, "You abuse anyone, disrespect people. Is this what Gen Z is all about? Then I feel sorry for them." "Even I have kids, and even they are Gen-Z and they are extremely respectful to other people. So I am sorry, I think there are a lot of problems. It breaks my heart," he added.
