Parth Samthaan's Inspiring Weight-Loss Journey Will Make You Hit Gym Right Away
Last Updated:
Parth Samthaan recently spoke with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa about his inspiring weight loss journey, acting goals and the challenges he overcame to chase his dreams.
Parth Samthaan, known for his charm and acting prowess, opened up in a chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa about his incredible weight loss journey, his acting aspirations and the challenges he faced along the way. The actor, who enjoys a massive fan following, shared how he transformed himself and pursued his dreams despite initial setbacks.
Parth revealed, 'I used to weigh 110 kilos as a kid and was like that. Remember the movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? Rohit, played by Hrithik Roshan? That's basically me, proper chubby. Someone might say, 'What are you talking about? You're Hrithik Roshan!' But no, that's exactly the transformation I went through. I lost 32 kilos, proper weight loss, in just four months."
He spoke about how aerobics, running, dieting and cardio helped him achieve his goals. 'Back in my day, aerobics was the thing. I did a lot of aerobics, no gym or anything fancy, just running, dieting, all that stuff. And wow, my height shot up because of it. I went from 5 feet straight up to 6'1" in just four or five months. It was around the age of 15 to 18," he stated.
Parth added that he encourages others to try cardio exercises like cycling and swimming. According to him, given his family's average height, he should have been around 5'9" or 5'10", but reaching 6'1" and a half was all thanks to his dedication.
About his acting dream, Parth shared that he lost weight once he decided to pursue acting. However, his parents initially discouraged him. 'My parents discouraged me, saying there's no one we know in the industry, nothing going for us, and that everything happens through connections. They said it's really tough. So, I gave up, thinking, okay, fine," the actor mentioned.
Parth then shifted his focus to architecture, moving to Mumbai for his studies. He recalled that during his second and third years, he started receiving acting offers and felt that perhaps destiny had something else planned for him. He said architecture was demanding and left no room for side pursuits. The sleepless nights, missed baths and constant submissions made him realise that if he wanted to try acting and theatre, he'd have to step away from his course — and that's what he did.
He also recounted how tough it was on his parents when he made these decisions. The actor asserted, 'Their dreams were basically way bigger, and you were young. You were a teenager. Right. At 18 or 19, you know how it is, hot-blooded, a bit rebellious, feeling like you have to prove yourself, thinking you know everything."
Parth shared that he walked out of home one day and sat at Marine Drive before heading to Pune without informing anyone. His sudden disappearance for three or four days left his father worried, prompting frantic calls and even involving the police.
Most recently, Parth appeared as ACP Ayushmaan in CID 2, marking his return to acting after a break. He joined the cast for a brief stint and exited once ACP Pradyuman, played by Shivaji Satam, made his comeback to the show.

Parth Samthaan Approached By CID Fan To Solve Mother's Murder Case: 'Aap Last Hope Ho'
Last Updated: Previously, Parth Samthaan also admitted that he had doubts about taking on the role of ACP Ayushman in CID 2. Parth Samthaan has revealed that he was approached by a fan to solve a murder case after he starred as ACP Ayushman in the show CID 2. In a recent interview, the actor shared that the fan messaged him on Instagram and asked him to solve his mother's murder case. 'Bahot log iss show ko seriously lete hai. Mujhe DM aaya tha 'I think mere mom ka murder ka case aap hie solve kar sakte ho. Aap apna please contact dijiye, aap hie mere last hope ho'. Aise log bhi hai (Many people take this show seriously. I got a DM saying 'I think only you can solve my mom's murder case. Please give me your contact number, you are my last hope'. There are people like this too)," Parth told Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their podcast. For the unversed, Parth Samthaan recently featured in CID 2 as ACP Ayushmaan. However, his role in the show was only for a few weeks. He marked his exit from the show after ACP Pradyuman aka Shivaji Satam's return. Previously, in an interview, Parth admitted that he had doubts about taking on the role of ACP Ayushman. The actor was speaking to Hindustan Times when he said, 'Initially, I rejected the role of ACP Pradyuman, because I don't relate to it. But the makers asked me to reconsider. I was also hesitant due to the show's long-standing cast and the fact that they'd have to address me as 'sir' on screen. It felt a bit unusual and awkward." Parth then also explained that it was obvious for fans to be upset. He also admitted that he never expected trolling to be this intense. Parth mentioned that replacing a 'legend" was not easy and agreed that he had a big responsibility. 'It's a huge responsibility. I recently shot with Shivaji Sir, and it was a fantastic experience. At 75, his energy and dedication are incredible. He's been consistent in his role for over two decades, and that's truly commendable," Parth told India Forums. 'Honestly, I didn't expect the trolling to be this intense. I understand where it's coming from. Even I have been a fan of Shivaji Sir and the original characters. If I were in the viewers' place, I'd probably feel the same seeing someone new step into such a loved role," the actor added. First Published:
