TALENTED television star Param Singh has been on the rise ever since his terrific turn in hit serial Sadda Haq and shown his impressive range in various roles. He is now starring in ZEE TV serial Haiwaan and enjoying the challenge of playing an interesting character not often seen on Indian television. The popular small screen star enjoys being an actor and was in good spirits when Eastern Eye caught up with him to talk all things television.

What first connected you to acting?

I used to watch the classics when I was a kid. I guess it was when I saw Top Gun and Terminator that I thought I should also act. I did theatre in school and college, and realised I like to perform, more than I like to watch.

How did you feel seeing yourself on TV for the first time?

I don’t like to watch myself on screen. I never see myself on the monitor or TV. I get conscious.

What has been your most challenging role?

All my characters were exciting and challenging. I enjoyed all of them.

Tell us about your current project?

I am doing Haiwan where I play the role of Randhir Agnihotri, a scientist who wants to save his city from the evil forces.

What’s your dream role?

My dream roles would be doing characters to whom I can’t relate at all, something that is alien to me and to the audiences. It would have to be something fresh challenging and engaging.

What do you enjoy watching on TV?

I have not switched on my TV for a long time.

If you weren’t an actor, what career would you have pursued?

I would have liked to be an auto-racing driver. I like the thrill.

What inspires you?

The fear of being mediocre, love for my work, and the people around me inspire me.

Why do you love being an actor?

I love being an actor as it gives me a deep understanding of human nature, and helps me forget my real problems for a while. The love that I receive from my admirers is also motivating.

Symptoms and diagnosis

Seles first began noticing symptoms around five years ago when she experienced double vision and struggled with coordination. “I would be playing [tennis] with some kids or family members, and I would miss a ball. I was like, ‘Yeah, I see two balls,’” she told the Associated Press. These symptoms eventually led to her diagnosis, which took time for her to come to terms with.

Faulty knee implant recalled after being used in over 10,000 NHS surgeries

Highlights:

  • NexGen knee implant linked to high failure rates was used in over 10,000 UK operations.
  • Concerns flagged as early as 2014; withdrawn from UK market in 2022.
  • Hundreds of patients required corrective surgery, with costs running into millions.
  • Manufacturer Zimmer Biomet says patient safety is its “top priority” but will not cover revision costs up front.

Implant used despite early warnings

A knee replacement implant used in thousands of NHS operations was known to have a concerning failure rate eight years before it was withdrawn, a BBC File on 4 Investigates report has found.

The NexGen implant, made by US manufacturer Zimmer Biomet, was fitted in more than 10,000 patients between 2012 and 2022. Concerns were first raised by the National Joint Registry (NJR) in 2014, though insufficient data at the time made it difficult to draw firm conclusions.
