Parinitaa Seth: Journey from Ad Film to Web Series, Know the Story of Parinitaa Seth in her own Words
Embracing Change, Creativity, and Courage in the Entertainment Industry
A Journey Through Passion, Perseverance, and Reinvention
With more than 15 years in the entertainment industry, actress Parinitaa has seen the evolution of acting from a passion-driven field to a highly professional and structured career. In an exclusive interview, she shares her thoughts on the changing landscape of acting, her personal growth, and the magic that life holds.
The Changing Face of the Acting Industry
Parinitaa reminisces about how the industry has transformed over the years. “Earlier, acting was more of a hobby, and people came to test their luck. But now, aspiring actors are well-prepared. They undergo professional training in acting, language, dance, and even stunts. The industry today is filled with trained actors, which is great for the craft,” she explains.
Comparing her early days to the present, she highlights the stark differences in auditioning. “In our time, auditions were organized and selective. Now, hundreds are called in, and some are made to wait for hours, only to be dismissed. That’s one of the major changes I’ve seen.”
From Ad Films to Television Stardom
Many remember Parineeta for her roles in television, but few know that she started with ad films. “My first TV show was Dil Kya Chahta Hai on Star One, directed by Kake Chaudhary. It was a comedy series about three boys and two girls. Coming from the ad film industry, I had to adapt to television, but every day on set was a learning experience.”
She believes that the lack of formal training in her time made actors more natural, something she cherishes.
A Writer at Heart
Beyond acting, Parinitaa has a deep love for writing. “I express myself best through words. Since childhood, I maintained a diary, which turned into storytelling. My daughter and friends love my magical stories, which reflect how I see life—full of unexpected and beautiful surprises.”
Her love for traveling has also played a huge role in shaping her storytelling. “Acting allows you to see the world. I did a show, Tiran Travels, on DD Metro, which took me across different countries. I feel blessed to have explored so much.”
Balancing Personal and Professional Life
With a thriving career and family, Parineeta acknowledges the importance of balance. “My family—my husband, parents, and daughter—are my biggest support. They understand my profession, and we have a mutual balance in our lives.”
On being asked why details about her husband are scarce, she states, “People always look for gossip. My family is precious, and I prefer to keep them away from unnecessary attention.”
Breaking Stereotypes in ‘Ashram’
Parinitaa’s role in Ashram was a significant departure from her previous characters. The series, which sparked debates, was perceived by some as controversial. However, she believes it was a powerful story. “The show isn’t about targeting any religion; it’s about awakening people to think rationally. Blind faith exists in every society, and the message is universal.”
Lessons and Challenges in the Industry
Reflecting on the challenges she faced, she recalls how abusive language was once considered normal on sets. “Earlier, people used foul language casually. I never understood why. Thankfully, today’s industry is more respectful.”
She believes that learning never stops. “Everyone comes from different walks of life. Judging someone too quickly isn’t fair. We must give people a chance.”
The Turning Point: ‘Vanshaj’
While every project has been a learning experience, Vanshaj was a turning point in her career. “Playing a negative role was thrilling. People hated my character, which means I did my job well. It was fun to play someone so different.”
She also shared an amusing anecdote about her role as Gagri, where people compared her look to Neeta Ambani. “The look brief was inspired by power dressing, and people immediately associated it with her. It was funny yet flattering.”
Friendships and Inspirations
Parineeta values her friendships within and outside the industry. “True friends understand your busy schedules. My childhood best friend, Simra, is in journalism and constantly encourages me.”
As for her inspirations, she admires Deepika Padukone. “She carries herself with grace and never speaks ill of anyone. Her presence is powerful.”
If given a chance to portray a real-life personality, Parinitaa would choose Sridevi or Rekha. “Today’s generation needs to know who Sridevi was—her journey from a child artist to an icon. Rekha ji is another legend who has aged gracefully.”
Motherhood: A Life-Changing Experience
Motherhood has been one of the most transformative experiences of her life. “As children, we take our mothers for granted, but becoming a mother changes everything. My daughter is a teenager now, and guiding her in today’s fast-paced digital world is a challenge.”
Despite a demanding career, she prioritizes spending quality time with her daughter. “I believe every woman should be independent. I’m a better mother when I’m working, and my free time is entirely for her.”
What’s Next?
On upcoming projects, she candidly states, “An actor’s life is uncertain. If there’s work, we work. If not, we wait or search for new opportunities. I’ve been blessed with great work, and something exciting is on the way.”
With her unwavering passion for acting, writing, and storytelling, Parineeta continues to be a force in the industry, inspiring many with her journey.
