‘The Transition Is...': Parth Samthaan On Facing Struggles With Typecasting
Last Updated: Parth Samthaan was recently seen in the popular TV show CID as ACP Ayushmann. Parth Samthaan, widely known for his role as Manik Malhotra in Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, recently made his TV comeback as ACP Ayushmann in the iconic TV series CID. The actor became a household name with Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, which first aired on TV and later moved to the OTT space. Over the years, Parth has appeared in a number of TV shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and MTV Warrior High, closely followed by his roles in films and web shows. Despite the expansive career graph, Parth Samthaan strongly believes in the hardships of breaking free from typecasting. In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Parth opened up on how fans initially react after seeing actors in a new role, after enjoying their performance in a character for a long time. Speaking on the transition between films and TV shows, he said, 'The switch is tough as television is something which leaves a mark on everyone's mind as it goes on for a longer time. Films are different, as you watch them for two hours, and then you forget them. It can linger on your mind for a few hours and maybe a day or two, and that's it. But television is something that is part of your daily life. People see you everyday at 8:30 PM, then you are on OTT, and then on the news. The character remains constant around you, and it goes for several years." The actor went on to explain how it wasn't easy for him to switch between roles in the beginning, as fans didn't like him in newer roles. 'They would give me a heads-up about not liking my current roles and going back to the previous ones," he continued. Elsewhere in the conversation, Parth Samthaan spoke about his popular show, Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, revealing how its success came with a lot of challenges. 'The show gave me success, but it also took a lot away from my personal life. That happened with other actors as well, who were a part of the show. Our personal lives were screwed, were dismantled, were a mess," he shared.
