Parth Samthaan, known for his iconic role in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, has made his return to television with a cameo in the long-running show CID. After a long hiatus from TV, Parth shared his reasons for staying away from the small screen and his thoughts on his new project. Although initially rumored to be a short-term role, Parth clarified that his stint on CID is ongoing and that he is fully committed to the show.
He explained that CID’s format allows him to be himself, which was a refreshing change from his previous roles. Unlike other shows where he had to create deep emotional connections with his characters, Parth found CID more relaxed. However, he admitted that it took some time for him to adjust to the straightforward nature of his role. He initially struggled with not forming attachments to his character, a practice that was common in his previous projects.
For years, Parth had refrained from committing to long-running TV shows, a decision rooted in his desire for career versatility. He felt that TV often confined an actor to a single project for extended periods, which didn’t leave room for him to explore other mediums such as films, web series, or music singles. He explained that after a while, he began to feel like he was repeating himself on screen. While some actors find great success in continuous roles, Parth preferred to seek new challenges.
Reflecting on the changing nature of television, Parth noted that many shows are now getting canceled shortly after their launch. He observed that broadcasters often lack patience when it comes to letting a show develop over time. Additionally, the intense competition from other media platforms makes it difficult for TV shows to maintain their audience. According to Parth, a show’s success now depends heavily on the chemistry between the leads, something that has always been a strong point in his career.
On the professional front, Parth revealed that he has a film set to release in September and is also working on an upcoming web series. This web series, he shared, will have a Marathi background, a detail many of his fans might not know. Parth, who is fluent in Marathi, mentioned that some filmmakers were surprised to learn that he was from a Marathi family. He expressed excitement about this project as it will offer a new dimension to his career and provide fans with a different side of his talent.
When it comes to his personal life, Parth couldn’t avoid the topic of marriage. He confessed that his family has been pressuring him to settle down, and though he’s been postponing the idea for a few years, he knows it’s something he can’t avoid much longer. Parth made it clear that when the time comes, it will be a love marriage. He mentioned that he was not interested in an arranged marriage and emphasized his belief in love. Though he is not rushing into marriage, he acknowledged that he was waiting for the right moment. Recently, he purchased a new house and is focused on creating stability in his life before taking the next step.
With his career moving in exciting directions and personal life developments on the horizon, Parth Samthaan seems to be ready for a new chapter both on and off-screen. His return to CID has marked a fresh beginning, and fans are eager to see what more the actor has in store for them.
