Parth as ACP Ayushman in the show CID
Is it true that you are back on TV with CID, but the stint is for a very short duration?
Abhi aisa toh kuch hai nahi. Had the stint been for just a week, I would not have been shooting for the show, which I am till now. I am back on
after a long time, and it is going well so far. Picking one of the iconic shows on television, CID, is a great thing. The best part is that I don't need to sell myself or my new show to the audience as they are already very well aware of it.
How has the experience been?
Even though it is fiction, I still don't have to act-act in it with over-dramatization and emotions, as it requires me to be me. I realized this on the first few days of the shoot itself. And because of all this, initially mujhe bahot problem hui that I don't need to have attachments to any character, which I am used to in my other shows. It was a struggle for me to be straight-faced during the scenes for this show.
Why have you stayed away from television all these years?
All these years, I didn't want to do TV because I did not want to commit myself for such a long duration. I didn't want that because then that commitment didn't allow me to do anything else on my career front, like singles,
and films. TV restricts you as an artiste for the longest period. Plus, according to me, it also gets you into the comfort zone and makes an artiste complacent ki haan ab yeh hi theek hai.

With all due respect to the other actors who have been doing shows for several years, I, on the other hand, have become very lazy and want to explore something else. I feel like after some time in a show, I have shown all the possible shades, and now I am on a repetitive mode.
Yes, staying on a show pays one well also, but that has not been my priority. Agar aisa hota toh Kasautii... ke saath saath mein
bhi kar leta aur bhi kitne shows hain woh bhi kar leta.
It all depends on artist to artist, but this is how I am. Drama is something that people have enjoyed over the years, especially the family drama on TV. They do not enjoy 'just' love stories on TV today. The love stories thing has shifted more to the OTT now. Earlier love stories used to do great on TV for years, because then there was no OTT.
A lot of TV shows are getting wrapped up within months of launch. Being part of this industry, what do you think is happening?
Mujhe khud bhi nahi pata ki yeh shows itni jaldi kyun band ho rahe hain.
The day I left Kasautii... I barely kept myself updated about the medium. Maybe what I feel is that the broadcasters today do not have the patience to sit and see and let a story stretch for a minimum time for it to work. At the same time, the environment on the medium is fiercely competitive. Not only are we competing with other shows on the medium but different mediums itself.
Plus, chemistry between the leads is needed to work, which I have done for most of my shows.
If chemistry works between leads, shows click soon.

What's else is happening on the career front?
I have a film that will be releasing in September this year and a web series too. I am excited about this web series because it has a Marathi background, and a lot of people are not aware that I am myself a Marathi and can speak fluent Marathi. In fact, recently only I have met a few filmmakers in the Marathi cinema who were surprised to know that I am a Marathi and can speak the language fluently.
I am looking forward to work there as it will be a fresh thing for my career and people will also get to see something new.
Coming to your personal front, is marriage on the cards?
Shaadi toh karni hi padegi jaldi as my family is pressurizing me to get married soon. Kisi tarah se main do-teen saal se taal raha hoon but now I will have to! I am not in a state to get married in an arranged setup, and therefore it will be a love marriage for me, definitely. Plus, I have always believed in love. I am just waiting for stability in my life. I have recently purchased a house, and I am busy with that. A lot of people I have met regret getting married in their late 40s.
I don't want that, and I feel that somethings should happen at the right time.

This superstar sold eggs on road, his fees was more than heroes, Meena Kumari was his…, he is…
This actor was India's most expensive comedian and superstar. He started charging more than the lead hero just by playing supporting roles in films. This star once used to sell eggs on the streets. But when he came into films, he charged more fees than stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna. He worked in more than 300 films in his career. Meena Kumari was this actor's sister-in-law. Let us tell you more about this talented actor. The name of this actor is Mehmood Ali, who was a famous and expensive comedian of the 50s and 60s. His father, Mumtaz Ali, was a big name in the world of theater, and Mehmood inherited acting from him. He first stepped into films in the year 1943. The name of the film was 'Kismat'. The financial condition of Mehmood's family was not good, and due to this sometimes he had to sell eggs on the streets and sometimes he also worked as a taxi driver. He was also a driver for famous director PL Santoshi. Due to financial constraints, Mehmood's father started drinking alcohol and remained immersed in it. Due to this his career was ruined and then all the responsibility fell on Mehmood's fragile shoulders. While doing small jobs, Mehmood somehow got entry into films. He started playing the role of a junior artist in films. He was well liked in films like 'CID', 'Do Bigha Zameen' and 'Pyaasa'. After this, Mehmood started getting big roles in films. Mehmood gained so much popularity that he would often charge more than the lead hero of the films. It is said that at one time he started charging more than Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna. According to reports, Mehmood used to charge Rs 7.5 lakh for 14 days of shooting. But in the 80s, when comedians like Asrani, Paintal, Jagdeep, Deven Verma and Kader Khan came, Mehmood's popularity started declining. Between 1990-1999, he did only a handful of films. But some of them either got shelved or some did not work. As an actor, he was last seen in the 1994 film 'Andaz Apna Apna'. Talking about Mehmood's personal life, he first married actress Meena Kumari's sister Madhu. In this regard, he was Meena Kumari's brother-in-law. The marriage took place in 1953, but they separated in 1967. He had four sons from Madhu. Mehmood then married Tracy Ali for the second time, with whom he became the father of a son and a daughter.
