Paras Arora on Gharwali Pedwali: Comedy shows are rare and I love being part of one
Last seen in Gehna Zewar Ya Zanjeer,
Paras Arora
is gearing up for his next role in Gharwali Pedwali, a family comedy with a supernatural twist. He plays Prithvi Mishra, also known as Jeetu, a man navigating life with two sets of everything: parents, bosses, and even wives.
Speaking about his return to the comedy genre, Paras says, 'Comedy shows have become quite rare these days and I enjoy working in this space. While drama dominates Indian television, not many shows aim to genuinely make people laugh. I consider it a privilege to be part of one that does. It had been a while since I explored this genre and I truly connected with the script, the concept, and my character Jeetu. Another appealing aspect is that most characters in the show are rooted in Uttar Pradesh, which adds a nice cultural layer.
'
Describing his character, he shares, 'What I find most fun and fascinating about Jeetu is how he's caught between his gharwali and pedwali, constantly juggling both lives. The situations he finds himself in are bizarre, humorous, and oddly relatable. Jeetu isn't street smart or manipulative, he's just trying to keep things from spiralling out of control. There's an innocence to him that makes him very likeable.'

Paras also touches on the complexity of playing Jeetu. He says, 'One of the biggest challenges was striking the right balance, ensuring he didn't come across as either too clever or too naïve. There's a thin line between being sharp and being wise and walking that convincingly was something I really enjoyed.'
The show also promises to blend traditional values with contemporary humour in unexpected ways. On the title, he adds, 'Gharwali Pedwali is quirky and fits perfectly with the story's tone. It sets the stage for the kind of chaos the audience can expect, with enough surprises to keep them hooked.'

Their partnership delivered a huge hit in 2022 with the documentary series Harry & Meghan, which drew blockbuster numbers. But their follow-up projects failed to resonate: With Love, Meghan earned just 5.3 million global views and ranked 383rd among Netflix shows, while Harry's polo docuseries Polo drew a mere half-million viewers.

Industry insiders suggest the end of this deal reflects the decline in the couple's U.S. popularity. After the Oprah interview and the documentary, support for Harry and Meghan has waned among American audiences, with critics noting their continued push for relevance may now feel calculated rather than authentic. Live Events Royal commentators warn the end of the Netflix contract could equate to a substantial financial blow, especially since Spotify dropped their podcast deal in 2023. Meghan's brand remains a potential revenue source, but durability of their media influence remains in question. What it means for Netflix U.S. audiences: Netflix is stepping back from long-term exclusive deals, opting for flexible partnerships instead. While Harry and Meghan's initial documentary did well, but later offerings didn't keep up the momentum with viewers or critics.
