Actor <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television-news/article/paras-kalnawat-opens-up-about-his-toxic-breakup-says-betrayal-left-deep-scars-23628012" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Paras Kalnawat</a>, who is known for starring in the show &lsquo;Anupamaa&rsquo;, is gearing up for his return to the small screen with the upcoming supernatural saga, Apsara, alongside Samiksha Jaiswal and Anushka Merchande.
The actor revealed that he had taken a break from TV to explore the web space and realised that he missed working on the small screen.&nbsp;
Opening up about his return, Paras said: &ldquo;Returning to Star Plus after almost three to four years feels like coming back home. &lsquo;<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television-news/article/paras-kalnawat-indirectly-claims-rupali-ganguly-refused-to-film-with-him-on-anupamaa-set-23418657" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Anupamaa</a>&rsquo; gave me a big break and was a turning point in my career, so this channel will always be special to me.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I had taken a break from television to explore the web space, but somewhere along the way, I realised how much I missed doing TV shows. Television has been such a big part of my life, and just around that time, I got the call for &lsquo;Apsara&rsquo;.&rdquo;
Paras will be sporting a new look for the show.&nbsp;
&ldquo;In terms of my look, I&rsquo;m trying a slightly rugged appearance on screen for the first time. Over the past year and a half, I&rsquo;ve lost around 15&ndash;18 kilos and worked on building a leaner, more muscular physique. &lsquo;Apsara&rsquo; will be the first time audiences see me in this look, and I&rsquo;m excited about that,&rdquo; he shared.
Produced by Mukta Dhond, the show draws inspiration from Samudra Manthan, weaving a story where the responsibility of safeguarding the Amrit from evil forces collides with the need to protect loved ones. For Paras, the show also marks a special return to Star Plus, nearly four years after Anupamaa.
Excited about the collaboration, he adds, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve wanted to work with Mukta ma&rsquo;am for a very long time, so I&rsquo;m happy that it&rsquo;s finally happening. Working with Samiksha and Anushka has also been lovely.&rdquo;
