Paras Kalnawat on Navratri Garba and His Star Plus Return

Paras Kalnawat is welcoming Navratri with a new Star Plus chapter on the cards. After becoming a household name with Star Plus’s popular show Anupamaa, the actor is set to return to the channel with Apsara, produced by Mukta Dhond’s Malhar Content Creators.

With dance, devotion and fan connections in the air, Paras spoke about what the festive season means to him this year, the garba track he cannot resist, and the relationships that keep him grounded as a television actor.

Garba is about energy, not a perfect routine

Asked whether he focuses on getting every step right, Paras made his priority clear: the collective energy of the dance matters more than technical perfection. Once the dhol starts and the crowd gets moving, he believes the mood takes over.

“I may not get every step perfect, but I am definitely someone who believes in enjoying the moment rather than worrying about making mistakes,” he said.

The track that gets him moving every time

Every Navratri regular has one song that works like a reset button. For Paras, it is Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje. He said the rhythm has a way of making people want to dance no matter how tired they are.

That is why he sees the song as a perfect fit for Navratri, a festival built around celebrating together rather than performing alone.

Why fan moments hit differently during Navratri

For Paras, the most touching part of being an actor is not the applause. It is when a viewer tells him that a character he played has connected with their personal life or become part of their everyday routine.

Navratri is also a rare moment when television actors meet their audience in person, away from the screen. At public pandals, fans often share stories of how a character became part of their daily lives, which makes the festival feel more personal for him.

He said those moments remind him why connecting with the audience is one of the most rewarding parts of his job.

What we know about Apsara so far

• Paras Kalnawat is returning to Star Plus after his run in Anupamaa.
• The upcoming show is titled Apsara.
• It is produced by Mukta Dhond’s Malhar Content Creators.
• Paras is treating the role as a fresh chapter in his career.

For Star Plus viewers, the project marks a familiar face returning to a channel that gave him one of his most visible roles. That familiarity can make Apsara a talking point even before its first promo drops. No premiere date has been shared yet, so fans will need to watch the makers’ pages for the next update.

The festive takeaway for fans

Paras summed up his Navratri vibe as a celebration of Shakti, positivity, gratitude and good music. The lesson for viewers is simple: let the dhol set the mood, dance with the people around you, and do not worry about missing a step.
