Paras Kalnawat Joins Parineetii Post-Leap, Promises Never-Seen-Before Avatar
Pratiksha Honmukhe and Paras Kalnawat have joined the cast after the leap.
The popular television show Parineetii continues to captivate viewers with its riveting plot and unexpected turns. The show has recently taken a major leap and introduced some fresh characters and twists. Pratiksha Honmukhe and Paras Kalnawat have joined the cast after the leap. Paras has been part of several TV shows now, but for this, his character in this daily soap is different and unique.
Speaking about his role as Aditya in Parineetii, Paras Kalnawat told IWMBuzz, 'Aditya is a strong character who loves his family. He is close to his Dadi, who wants him to achieve big roles. He is someone who does not believe in love. I have played lover boy roles, the cute and boyish roles, before. But this role is of a man who does not believe in love, has a back story and a depth in him. I am playing this side of any character for the first time. I have never played anything similar to Aditya before."
Moreover, Paras also shared why he said yes to the show. While he had seen glimpses of the Parineetii before, what persuaded him was the channel and the production house, Balaji Telefilms. 'What could be better than seeing a Colors and Balaji show again? I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to reconnect with the Balaji family," he said. Paras has earlier worked with Balaji Telefilms during his stint in Kundali Bhagya which went off air last year.
Parineetii, produced by Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, started airing on February 14, 2022. The show depicts the emotional journey of two closest friends, Parineet Kakkar and Neeti Juneja, who unexpectedly marry the same man. This twist added levels of drama and intensity, drawing the audience in. Parineetii continues to do well in TRP ratings and is consistently ranked among the top 20 shows in the BARC rankings. Parineetii also features Tanvi Dogra, Ankur Verma and Aachal Sahu in pivotal roles since the show's inception.

Shakti Anand: Acting is an art form that demands immersion, not isolation
Shakti Anand Shakti Anand recently joined Kumkum Bhagya to play Karan Luthra, a character that he previously essayed in Kundali Bhagya, which ended in December 2024. Recounting the time when he joined Kundali Bhagya replacing Shakti Arora , he says, 'When I joined the show, there was a lot of trolling, but I didn't let it affect me. My focus was clear: to portray Karan to the best of my ability.' He adds, 'I give my hundred percent to every scene. I don't wait for a big moment to deliver a great performance. For me, every scene is the most important one in my life. I don't believe in forcing people to accept me — I'd rather let my work speak for itself.' Shakti is also candid about his disinterest in the social media culture that dominates set life. 'Social media feels like a trap. I see everyone glued to their phones with earphones in, completely disconnected from their surroundings. There's hardly any real interaction on sets anymore.' On how he approaches it differently, he says, 'I prefer to sit in a different chair and observe people — the light man adjusting lights, the director explaining scenes, the camera crew setting up. There's so much to learn by just watching. Unfortunately, many don't pay attention, and that lack of involvement affects the longevity of their craft. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like BMW iX2. 100% Elétrico.

Addressing the growing trend of casting based on social media following, Shakti comments, 'Content will always be king, but it needs capable actors to do justice to it. When has a massive online following guaranteed TRPs or box-office success? It's an unfortunate phase, but I believe it will pass.'

Otherwise, I prefer to keep my relationships private. After Uorfi, all of my relationships have been private. That one was an exception, and for me, it was a beautiful experience.
