There’s something truly electric about the first encounter between strangers whose lives are about to be transformed by love. Param Sundari, the upcoming romantic comedy directed by Tushar Jalota, promises not just laughter and longing — it’s set to bring the romance genre back to Indian cinema with all the flair of a long-lost lover bursting through the door, roses in hand and rain pouring down.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Kerala’s backwaters and the delightful chaos of North India, Param Sundari features Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in a tale that feels both refreshingly new and comfortingly familiar. And if the teaser is anything to go by, this isn’t just another love story — it’s a feast for the senses, where music flows like monsoon rain and those lingering glances last just a bit too long.

But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just another run-of-the-mill rom-com.

“The artist’s choice in cinema is without limit; the artist’s choice in literature is circumscribed, while the reverse is true for the observer: the great thing about literature is that you can imagine; the great thing about film is that you can’t.”

Param Singh, the accomplished actor known for his role in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, recently shared his insights regarding reality television, particularly Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi. In a candid interview, he elaborated on his reasons for opting out of Bigg Boss while expressing a keen interest in Khatron Ke Khiladi.

When questioned about Bigg Boss, Param disclosed that he had received offers to join the show on several occasions but chose to decline due to his introverted personality. “Indeed, I have been approached for Bigg Boss multiple times, but I can’t envision myself participating. I also feel that I wouldn’t fit the casting criteria, as I may not be able to provide the kind of content the show demands. My reserved nature doesn’t align with the show’s format,” he stated.

Conversely, Param conveyed his excitement about the possibility of participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi.
