Some Lesser Known Facts about Sagar Parekh
- Sagar Parekh is an Indian actor. He became famous after he replaced Paras Kalnawat on the television serial Anupama (2020) to play the role of Samar Shah.
- Sagar Parekh initially aimed to become a chartered accountant during his teenage years; however, his mother wanted him to become an actor and got him an audition for the crime thriller TV series Gumraah – End of Innocence. In an interview, Sagar talked about beginning his career in acting and revealed that it was his mother’s dream that led him to find his passion for acting. He said,
My mother motivated me to pursue this art form. It was her dream that I decided to fulfil. There was an ad on Facebook that was about the requirement of a young actor for Gumrah. My mother sent my pictures to the casting director without much hope. But within 5-10 minutes she got a call. Initially she thought someone was playing a prank but then the makers told her that I am being finalised for the role and they are going to pay us a decent amount. So we decided to give it a try. My dad was supportive too and ready to take the risk of sending me to Mumbai. This experience changed my life. I really enjoyed working on the show.”
- Sagar Parekh made his television in 2016 through an episodic role in the crime thriller TV series Gumraah – End of Innocence. Following his debut in Gumraah, he took on a leading role in the Zing channel’s TV series Aye Zindagi, where he featured in two episodes.

- Sagar Parekh took over the role of Samar Shah on the television series Anupama (2020) in July 2022, succeeding Paras Kalnawat. His presence on the show led to significant recognition for him as an actor. However, in December 2023, he exited the series following the death of his character, Samar Shah. During an interview, Sagar disclosed that he hadn’t been given prior information about joining the cast of Anupama and also said that because of his lack of confidence in himself, he might have declined the offer. He said,
It feels like a dream. I never thought that I would be a part of Anupamaa. When I was offered the role, I had no clue I was doing Anupamaa and that I was doing a replacement role. Had I known, I would have disagreed to take up the show out of insecurity or maybe people wouldn’t accept me. But I am glad that happened and they didn’t tell me earlier.” [3]The Times of India
