Last Updated: Paresh Rawal also likened marriage to going to a restaurant and liking another person's order. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, renowned for his impeccable comic timing in films like Hera Pheri and Oh My God, shares a heartwarming love story with his wife, Swaroop Sampat. Their journey from a chance meeting to a lasting partnership is a testament to love, patience, and mutual respect. When the duo starred together in the play Shaadi@ they chatted with fans on Rediff, and Paresh Rawal's replies about marriage caught everyone's attention. When a fan asked, 'Paresh bhai are U online or not?" The actor responded, 'Dialogue: Marriage is like a war. The only difference is in a marriage, you get to sleep with the enemy…" Another fan asked, 'Paresh Ji Hume gussa aa raha hai. Aap Humare sawaal ka jawab nahi de rahe hain ??? — Joke sunao tumhare kisi natak ka???" The actor responded, 'Getting married is like going to a restaurant.. You order something, and when you get the food, you prefer the dish the other guy ordered…" Paresh Rawal and Swaroop Sampat's paths first crossed in 1975 during a college play.

Gajraj Rao Says Pam From The Office Reminded Him Of This Indian Actress
Last Updated: Gajraj Rao wrote a special tribute for the popular American sitcom The Office, saying he was moved by Jenna Fischer's performance as Pam Beesly. Actor Gajraj Rao often shares his thoughts on films, series and acting on social media. Recently, he wrote a special tribute to the popular American sitcom The Office. The Badhaai Ho star called the John Krasinski and Steve Carell-starrer 'one of the finest sources" of laughter after watching all nine seasons twice. He was moved by Jenna Fischer's performance, which reminded him of classic Bollywood characters like Ms Chamko from Chashme Buddoor and Swaroop Sampat from Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, who are 'endearing, understated and unforgettable." He also praised Jenna's autobiography, which explores her tough journey before landing the role of Pam Beesly and how it changed her life. Taking to Instagram, Gajraj wrote, 'Laughter is the best medicine, and in my opinion, the American hit sitcom The Office is one of the finest sources of this remedy. I've watched all nine seasons twice in the past six years, and I'm already planning another serving in the coming weeks. Each cast member is an outstanding performer with pitch-perfect comic timing. Jenna Fischer is one of them. Her portrayal of Pam Beesly reminds me of Ms Chamko from Chashme Buddoor or even Swaroop Sampat from Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, endearing, understated and unforgettable. Jenna made Pam one of the most charming and relatable female characters on television." 'A few years ago, Jenna wrote a beautiful autobiography. While browsing on Storytel recently, I stumbled upon the audiobook version, narrated by Jenna herself. I started listening during my evening walks, and within 10–12 days, I had finished it. The writing is warm and engrossing, and Jenna's voice makes the experience even more personal. It feels less like a book and more like sitting with a friend or an old acquaintance, listening to her life story unfold. The book traces her eight-year-long struggle before Pam happened, and how that changed everything," he added. Gajraj added that he could understand a lot of Jenna Fischer's experiences as an actor because many performers go through similar ups and downs, whether they are in New Delhi or New York. He believes there is no simple path to success, but Jenna's story shows how to stay strong and focused during hard times. He thinks her book is very helpful, especially for youngsters who want to become actors, but it also offers lessons for older readers. Gajraj thanked Jenna for being honest about her journey and said her story is inspiring. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gajraj Rao (@gajrajrao) The Office, which aired from 2005 to 2013 for nine seasons, was filmed in a documentary style, showing the daily lives of employees at a paper company called Dunder Mifflin, based in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
