Actor Sagar Parekh who has replaced Paras Kalnawat in Anupamaa says- ‘he is under pressure’.

Actor Sagar Parekh is all set to play Samar Shah in Anupamaa. Sagar will replace Paras Kalnawat, who played Samar for two years. Paras’ contract was terminated recently because he chose to do Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
Sagar shared how is under a lot of pressure to essay a role that has already been established by another actor. He said, “Anupamaa is a popular show and Samar’s character is important because he is the only dutiful son and support system of Anupama in the show. I am feeling a lot of pressure and a bit nervous too because Paras who is a friend in real life, has played it so well. Entering an existing show is always a task. Also, I am new to the entire team. But I am excited and looking forward to breaking the ice with my co-actors.”

Sagar, who is from Ahmedabad, has been in Mumbai for the past six years and has been part of many TV shows like Fanaa: Ishq Main Marjawan, Internet Wala Love, and Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan. He said, “I have shot with Rupali madam and she has helped me a lot on the set. I did not get time to watch the show earlier, but now I have watched Samar’s role closely. My family watches the show, so they also keep telling me about the character and how he has many shades to play. Of course, I don’t have to do the same thing and I will bring my abilities and talent to the role.”
