Actor Amol Parashar on dating rumours with Konkona Sen: Nobody asked me; instead all started bringing their assumptions
Actors Konkona Sen Sharma, 45, and Amol Parashar, 38, are rumoured to be in a relationship. And what added fuel to the fire was their first public appearance together at the screening of Amol's web series. Addressing the speculation for the first time, Amol tells us, 'Nobody asked me. Instead, everyone started bringing their assumptions to the table. Earlier, I would react to every news, but now I have learnt to just move on. Agar kuch hoga aur mujhe share karna hoga, toh I will share it on social media myself.'
The actor adds: 'See, you have people in life. Kisi se aap close hote hain, aur kisi se aap zyaada close hote hain. Naming every relation is not necessary... Aap khush, samne waala khush aur gharwale khush, that's it!'
Amol recalls a similar situation with his Sardar Udham (2021) co-actor Vicky Kaushal, who was dating actor Katrina Kaif while shooting for the film and got married to her in December 2021. 'I remember something similar happening with Vicky, and I was like: 'Bhai, bata do sabko because people are asking me'. And he was like: 'I will, at the right time',' Amol explains.
While he is content with his career trajectory with two back to back OTT releases with him in the lead, he's amused how his personal life has earned him more attention: 'Logon ko mazaa aa raha hai. Aap karlo kitni bhi acting, views link-up news ko hi milte hain.'
Prod him for his views on marriage, and Amol says his mum would pressure him initially, but not anymore: 'Kuch bhi ho sakta hai. I love surprising myself, and my family knows that. Agar shaadi hogi, toh I, too, will post it on Insta (laughs), as that's what matters to everyone. But as of now, I have nothing to talk about.'
On the work front Amol is back on stage after a decade. 'It's after ten years I am back to theatre and it's the first time doing a solo play called Besharam Aadmi. Already done seven shows. Also my character dies in Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs but in the other series I am very much alive so there are chances of Gram Chikatsalay to be back with part 2."

Roshan Mathew says his first Hindi project helped him correct ‘wrong approach' to acting; admits he was ignoring the camera during early Malayalam projects
Actor Roshan Mathew has recently opened up about his busy career in Bollywood, despite being a Mollywood star. He gained popularity with his role in Darlings, and his recent OTT series Kankhajura has received much appreciation. The actor admitted that although his roots are in the Malayalam film industry, he made his debut as an actor with the Hindi series 'Tanlines' in 2015. Roshan Mathew about his role in Kankhajura In an interview with Hindustan Times, Roshan said playing in Kankhajura was exciting because it marked his first time portraying a grey-shaded character—especially in Hindi, where audiences mostly know him as the softer Zulfi from Darlings. He found the change both refreshing and fun. Kankhajura Trailer: Roshan Mathew, Mohit Raina and Sarah Jane Dias Starrer Kankhajura Official Trailer When asked about his appearance and the roles he plays, Roshan admitted that physical appearance plays a significant role in casting choices. He shared that he is glad Kankhajura's director, Chandan Arora, chose him for the role. Roshan about his career in Bollywood and Mollywood Roshan shared that returning to Bollywood feels like coming full circle. He elaborated, 'My first project in front of the camera—where I actually started having fun with the medium—was Tanlines. Proshit Roy, who directed it, played a huge part in helping me make friends with the camera. I had done a couple of films in Malayalam, but they hadn't been released. But I was going about it with the wrong approach. I was completely ignoring the camera and pretending like I was on stage. Proshit changed that for me. I owe a lot to him. So, if you think about it, getting to do another series in Hindi is a strange kind of homecoming." About Kankhajura Kankhajura also features Mohit Raina, Sarah Jane Dias, and Trinetra Haldar in key roles and is currently streaming on OTT.
