‘Paritosh’ has been a part of me during the early stage of my career: Aashish Mehrotra of ‘Anupamaa’

Star Plus show ‘Anupamaa’ is getting quite interesting with each passing episode. The show has been static at the TOP position in the BARC chart. Currently, the show has managed to get 3.8 rating. The current track of the show revolves around Anupamaa and Anuj being stuck because of bad wheather. The duo spend night at nearby house. Vanraj and Baa are uncomfortable with Anupamaa being with Anuj for the entire night.

Paritosh who relates to his father more, is also against the same and questioned Anupamaa. India Forums got in touch with actor Ashish Mehrotra and asked him if he relates to the character of Paritosh in his real-life, he said, “Paritosh has always been influenced by his father Vanraj and hence have always supported him. Well, as far as me relating to Paritosh is concerned, I feel I behaved like him during my growing up period, in terms of being a little self-centered. In general, Toshu has been a part of my life earlier. Like, that kid who’s just passionate and career-oriented who really thought but himself. During that phase, one over-shadow their emotions and focus only on our work. In that phase, we don’t realize that we’re disrespecting our mothers or fathers”.

He added, “Later, of course, one realizes about their behavior as they’re always occupied with their thoughts and their selfish life goals. Paritosh takes his mother and family for granted and honestly, I’ve dealt with a similar phase in my life. But now, I’ve grown up and have learned that these experiences only help in your growth and gives a sense of realization about the selfless love of the family members and the sacrifices that they make”.
