Parth Samthaan opens up about Mahid’s emotional journey in Seher Hone Ko Hai

In a world ruled by power, patriarchy, and survival, love becomes an act of resistance, and COLORS’ Seher Hone Ko Hai is reflecting that shift through its evolving storyline. What began as a layered family drama is now moving into a focused love story, where romance has become central to the narrative. The change is led by a new on-screen pairing — Parth Samthaan as Mahid and Rishita Kothari as Seher.

Their on-screen connection is driven by contrast. Mahid comes from privilege and authority, shaped by emotional control and leadership expectations. Seher stands on the other side, guided by hope, determination, and a dream of becoming a doctor to secure a better future. Their personalities are different, yet their paths cross through moments of honesty and quiet understanding.

Mahid is someone who has been raised to lead, not to feel. He comes from immense privilege, but also from a space where emotional vulnerability was never encouraged

The Rise of #Maher

Mahid and Seher’s relationship builds slowly through small interactions, shared silences, and meaningful glances. This understated form of romance has struck a chord with viewers, who have started referring to the pair as #Maher. Instead of dramatic declarations, their bond grows through emotional connection, which has become one of the most talked-about aspects of the show.

Speaking about the response from the audience, Parth Samthaan shared, “Mahid is someone who has been raised to lead, not to feel. He comes from immense privilege, but also from a space where emotional vulnerability was never encouraged. That’s why his connection with Seher isn’t loud; it’s instinctive and very internal. With Rishita, there was an immediate comfort and trust, which allowed us to bring to life that emotional honesty. Many of our most powerful moments aren’t about dialogue at all, but about what Mahid and Seher are processing internally. The fact that audiences are noticing those subtle elements and responding so strongly to #Maher tells me that viewers are truly rooting for this romance.”

Seher’s Impact on Mahid

Rishita Kothari also spoke about the influence her character has on Mahid. “Seher brings more moral clarity into Mahid’s world — qualities he has always admired but never fully lived by. Through her, Mahid begins to question the power structures around him and even within himself. Their bond softens him. Seher is stepping into her voice for the very first time, and Mahid becomes a space of emotional safety without trying to control or rescue her,” she said. Rishita added that working with Parth allows this emotional exchange to come across naturally on screen.

In the current track, Mahid and Seher’s wedding celebrations are taking place with several twists and rising tensions. With loyalties being tested and new conflicts emerging, the future of #Maher remains uncertain, keeping viewers waiting to see what comes next.
