One of the most popular TV shows, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently took a new turn with the introduction of a fresh character, Abhir, played by TV actor Mohit Parmar. In a recent interview with Mayapuri Magazine, Mohit opened up about his role in the show, his bonding with co-stars, and his experience working with Rajan Shahi. Here"s what he had to say. Mohit, you received a lot of love for Pandya Store, and now you're joining this new show. You"re back on Star Plus. How do you feel? Do you want to share anything? Pandya Store gave me a new identity. It was my first show, and it introduced me to households across the country. People saw me and liked me. My character was very different—it was initially comedic and later became serious, but people really enjoyed my comic timing. They loved the fights between my character and my brother, and the jokes with my sister-in-law. Now, in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, my character is totally different—he"s very rowdy and has a rockstar vibe. I"m also experimenting with this role, and I hope you all are liking it. Speaking about the fanbase of this show, it"s enormous. This show has been running for 15 years and is legendary. Whenever a new character is introduced, it"s showered with a lot of love, and I"m lucky to have received that as well. I hope I can live up to the audience"s expectations. This is your first time working with Rajan Shahi. How has the experience been? Yes, this is my first time. Just like in the film industry, there are Yash Raj and Dharma Productions, in the TV industry, Rajan Shahi's direction and production are at the top. His name is synonymous with quality in TV production. Every actor dreams of working with him, and I"m really happy to get this opportunity. I hope I"ll continue to work with him in the future. How is the bonding with your co-stars like Samriddhi Shukla, Rohit Purohit, Garvita, and Romit? Everything is happening naturally and slowly. Everything is going well—the production team and my co-actors are great. There"s nothing wrong, everything is progressing smoothly, and as time passes, our bonding will only get stronger. Good things take time. Rohit, you"re playing a very different character in this show. What would you like to say to your fans? Yes, when I got this role, I thought I would get a chance to play both negative and positive shades, and I really wanted to explore something negative. I really liked this opportunity. Simran is also doing something similar on Star Plus. When I played Ankit in Pandya Store, I felt there was a lot to explore, but here my character is grey, with many shades. He cries a lot, and his anger is at an intense level. I got to explore so much with this role, and I thought, "This is amazing!" It"s really helping me grow as an actor, whether in my personal life or professionally in the future. Is it challenging and difficult to portray such a character? Yes, it is difficult, but I"m doing it. I hope you like the experiment I"m trying. It"s new for me too, but I"m putting my best effort into making sure you enjoy it. Would you like to send a message to your fans who have supported you all these years, especially now that you are connecting with them on social media? Thank you so much. You gave me a lot of love in Pandya Store, and this show has a huge fanbase too. I hope you give me the same love you"ve given to all the characters in this show. I am trying my best to live up to your expectations. "It"s important to note that Mohit has entered Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as Abhir, the son of Akshara and Abhimanyu.
