Fan Club Of The Week - Parth Samthaan

DASHING actor Parth Samthaan has impressed all with his magnetic presence on screen and got himself a big fan following. One of these is Jaweriya Syed from India, who runs a fan club dedicated to the talented star. Eastern Eye caught up with Jaweriya to find out more...

What made you set up the fan club?


Firstly, thank you for featuring me. I actually never thought I would ev­er start a fan club! But maybe the love for my idol made me do this.

Tell us about your fan club...

My fan club is dedicated to Parth Samthaan. He is the sole reason why I’m here! I usually post differ­ent kinds of edits, videos, photos and news about him. I freely show love for my idol. It has been one amazing experience and I’ve made a lot of friends. People have told me that through my fan club they can connect with our idol more closely. It has now become my daily routine.

What has been your most memora­ble moment?

Every fan club will have only one dream, which is to get noticed and appreciated by their idol. And I’m no different. My most memorable moment was when I got a like from Parth. I came back from school, opened my fan club and was flood­ed with messages telling me I final­ly got a like from Parth.

That was when I thought that fi­nally all my hard work had paid off as I made him happy with my posts. I still can’t forget that day, which was March 22, 2016.

What is the best thing you like about Parth Samthaan?

I guess when we love a person, we don’t count the individual things because we love them as a whole. The same is with me too. If I had to choose the one thing I like in him most, it’s his positive attitude to­wards everything.

He has always been a positive person no matter how hard the sit­uation or how big the problem. He is always smiling and ready to face all problems with so much strength and calmness. He is the strongest person I’ve ever seen and this has been a huge inspiration in my life.

What is your favourite work of his?

I got to know him when he was do­ing Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan. His acting, emotions and passion towards that character made me go cra­zy for him. And that’s when I ac­tually fell in love. After that I have watched all his work. I would say his character Manik Malhotra is what I love most.

Tell us an interesting fact about him...

Parth always listens to his heart and doesn’t change himself to please others. He is a kid at heart and pure as a gem. He is always ready to help others.

What is your definition of a true fan?

A true fan always supports their idol and will always be there for him no matter what. The most important thing is to show respect to them, which means not disappointing them by invading their privacy.

'Thudarum' review round-up: Mohanlal returns to form in a dark, emotional ride that’s winning hearts

Director Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum has drawn attention not just for its gripping storyline, but for bringing back the Mohanlal audiences have longed to see: an actor rooted in emotion rather than spectacle. With critics praising both the writing and performances, Thudarum has emerged as a memorable addition to Mohanlal’s long filmography, with reviewers calling it a return to form.

Across the board, reviewers highlight how the film presents Mohanlal as Shanmugham (nicknamed Benz), a humble taxi driver and former stuntman who now lives a quiet life in a Kerala village with his wife, played by Shobana, and two children. His prized possession is his old black Ambassador car, a gift from a mentor which becomes central to the plot when it’s unknowingly used, setting off a chain of devastating events.

Can Sreeleela fill the big Bollywood void?

It is no secret that Bollywood is facing a talent drought. While established stars continue to dominate screens, there is a clear gap when it comes to younger actors making a strong mark.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.
