Seher Hone Ko Hai: Parth Samthaan learns Urdu to play Mahid; says 'I spent time understanding pronunciation and listening to recitals'

Television's newly launched show, Seher Hone Ko Hai, starring Parth Samthaan, Mahhi Vij, and Rishita Kothari, has managed to win viewers’ hearts with its storyline and performances.The emotional story of a mother (Kausar) facing challenges to give her daughter (Seher) a better future, has caught everyone’s attention. The show presents a detailed take on freedom, choice, and generational conflict. Parth, who plays the role of Mahid has made sure that his portrayal and transformation doesn't restrict to looks.Parth took the extra step of learning Urdu to make the character of Mahid, a wealthy heir carrying hidden emotional pain, look authentic. Since the story is deeply rooted in Lucknow’s culture, Urdu plays an important role. Parth’s effort has added honesty to Mahid’s character, and audiences are appreciating his dedication. Opening up about the process, Parth shared, “Urdu carries a certain tehzeeb, a softness, and an emotional weight that has to be honoured when speaking it. The languages I am familiar with have a very different texture and pronunciation, so I was aware from day one that I needed to train myself in Urdu. Most languages are direct and grounded in their phonetics, while Urdu is lyrical, almost musical, and demands a certain flow. Moreover, it compels you to think in poetry. So I spent time understanding pronunciation and listening to recitals. Some sounds and inflections in Urdu are so subtle that only an expert or a fluent speaker can catch them, but I wanted to push myself towards that level of precision.Mahid says very little, but whatever he says must feel lived-in. With all the love I am getting for Mahid in Seher Hone Ko Hai, I feel like the hard work has paid off.”In the current storyline, Kausar and Dr. Farid quietly plans an escape for Kausar and Seher. But before they can make a move, Parvez finds out about the plan, raising the tension. Just when things seem like they might get out of hand, Sultana returns, making the situation even more complicated.
