An open letter to Parth Samthaan

~ Good friends are like stars. You don't see them but they are always there ~

It is said that friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, but friendship is never anything but sharing and I am sure that the true meaning of friendship couldn’t have been put into words more beautifully than this. 
Friendship is something that begins at forever and ends at never and maybe that’s why more than anything else, I have always seen you as my most special friend ever.
Parth, I really don't know where to start and how to convey what I want to say to you but I shall try my best to. A couple of years ago, I saw this cute yet confident law student called Prithvi Sanyal on TV and I was very impressed with the kind of screen presence you had. When you were on screen, my eyes could never take in anybody else's presence. The fan girl in me had taken birth almost instantly. Over a period of time, I came to love you with all your perfections and flaws likewise. After you left BFF I was almost shattered but I knew that it was definitely not the end. After hectic schedule of back to back exams, I chanced upon episode 196 of Kaisi Yeh Yaarian and the first thought that came to mind? "Holy shit, that's Prithvi Sanyal" I immediately clicked on the link and started to watch. As Manik Malhotra, you took over my heart and soul in a way no one ever had before.
I literally squealed and binge watched the entire 226 episodes in 3 days giving up on my sleep only to have you charm your way into my heart. ❤ Undoubtedly you are the finest actor of this generation and I wish that you go a long way in your quest of finding and being the best version of yourself. 😍 But what really connected me to you fully and finally were those months of hardship that you went through where you never let anything put down your morals, your goals and your integrity. Believe me when I say that I have shed countless tears along with you and have fought for you with every thing I had within me. 🙂 In you, I found immense courage and determination. You have always been a fighter but everyone saw the Phoenix within you rise from its own ashes for the first time during those troubled times and you left all of us spell bound and determined to be at least half as great as you. 😊
Today, you are more than just a random actor that I am just a fan of. You are my inspiration. My role model. My biggest strength. When I see you, I see a man of strong principles and immense courage and it only makes me more determined to be a woman of integrity, courage and strength. You have taught me to fight for what I truly believe in. You have taught me that passion and focus is all that is needed to win at life. You have taught me that it's perfectly fine to make mistakes as long as we learn from them. Most of all you have taught me that I am the best when I am just me.  You have been a brilliant friend to me. Wondering how? Friends are the ones who guide you in the right path. Who teach you all about life. Who love you unconditionally. Haven't you done it all? In fact you have been a great friend to every fan of yours. 😍😭
I respect you Mr Samthaan and I am proud that I chose to stand by you in both your good and bad times. You are the beacon of hope for all of us youngsters with a passion and determination to achieve something in life. 20 years down the line, I am going to proudly tell the world that I was there for it all. ❤ From the very beginning of the journey of one of the greatest actors, the most humblest human being and the best-est friend ever. I love you more than you love food because you will always be the ruler of my heart. 👑 Thank you for all that you have done for me and for every single fan of yours. We owe our everything to you. ❤
I am sorry for this long rant, but I couldn't control myself. 😭 Wishing you all the love, luck, success and happiness in this world. ❤

Love,
Shriya ❤

(A proud Parthian 💘 Today. Tomorrow. And forever.)

Parth Samthaan - The One Man Army

"Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack." A quote which has gotten buried deep into the depths of my heart all because of one man, one individual who took the entire world by storm with his unconventional thought processes and radical behavior. A man who is known for his unparalleled fighting spirit and unprecedented courage, he has always managed to surprise everyone with the unique choices that he makes in terms of both his personal and professional life. To be able to pen down the extraordinary person that he is into a limited number of words is just next to impossible but then again, he is worth all the efforts. Highly unpretentious, Parth Samthaan is the kind of person who would never forget his roots or where he began his journey from. He is humble enough to attribute his success to the respective people and the platforms that have contributed to his growth at any point of time. 
Known for his absolute and thorough professionalism when it comes to work, he has most definitely made a mark in the television industry with regards to his exemplary professional attitude and there are people who would do anything to work with him just the one time. Parth Samthaan is no star, at least that's what he likes to believe because according to him this is just the beginning and there is still a long way to go. Though his charm and dashing looks make millions of girls go weak in their knees, the best thing about him is not his charm or his good looks but it's his simplicity that draws everyone towards him like how honey draws the bees. He is someone who believes in what he wants to that extent that it has no option but to materialize. 
When someone is talking about Parth, it would be almost a crime not to discuss the phenomenal amount of strength that he has and his free-spirited soul which never lets him back down. Even after going through unbelievable amount of pain and tumultuous times, he never quit fighting. He has always been a fighter but only in those tough times did everyone see the unrivaled amount of courage and fighting spirit that he possessed within him. The one thing that definitely needs to be highlighted about his nature is his acceptance of both criticism and appreciation in equal measure. He is somebody who prefers real and raw criticism to exaggerated and sweet praises that one showers upon him. 
Talking about his nature, a few other things need to be mentioned without fail and that's his honest heart and pure soul which doesn't discriminate between anybody and embraces everyone with open arms. Though he is a highly introverted person, he doesn't shy away from meeting new people and learning new things. He does have his own set of people whom he is comfortable and real with but that's allowed to all of us right? None of us can be comfortable with everyone and that is the case with Parth Samthaan as well because at the end of the day, he is just a regular guy like anyone else.
How can one forget Parth's fans when in conversation about Parth? Because they have played a significant role in Parth's life and have stood by him throughout his good and bad times like a real family. 
Fondly known as the Parthians, this small yet strong army of Parth is one of its kind and is such that no one would want to mess up with them. One word against him and they take you down quicker than you can say "Parth" and that's because they are highly possessive and protective about their man. The relationship between Parth and his Parthians is not something that can be understood by an outsider easily but the purity of the bond that the Parthians share with Parth and with each other reflects in the way they talk and think. Parth Samthaan didn't catch just their eyes, he caught their hearts and that's solely why they never get tired of pursuing him. There's mutual respect, understanding and care between them which has helped them in strengthening their relationship with each other over time. Not to forget that Parthians are the most effective, efficient yet unofficial Public Relations team that Parth could have ever asked for!
People say that stardom and world of glamour changes one and makes them compromise on their values and forces them into making certain huge sacrifices and sometimes even mistakes but that definitely isn't the case with Parth. It did nothing but strengthen his morals, grit and values. He remains a family man even today not in the least bit attracted by all that the tinsel town has to offer in terms of anything other than work, A mumma's boy out and out, he has upheld all the traditions and morals that he has been brought up with till date, giving his family and friends all the reasons to be proud of him.
He has this strong, intimidating aura around him that automatically  makes people fear and respect him, both at the same time. He isn't power hungry nor is he money minded but he is driven by passion, focus and determination. Pride and arrogance is something that runs in his blood but in the right quantities which makes him all the more desirable and attractive. Blessed with looks that could put Greek Gods to shame and an attitude that hypnotizes people to an extent that it becomes impossible to wake up from the trance he puts you in, he is someone who is wanted by all.
Parth Samthaan and his talent is one thing that doesn't need to be talked about explicitly because everyone knows that he is a powerhouse of talent and is probably the most talented person in the current generation of actors. He is not just an actor but he is a complete performer and nothing beyond needs to be said. 

Apart from all of the above, Parth is particularly known for his goodness and his giving nature and is known to be a gem of a human being. He is the guy who, on Christmas Eve becomes Santa Claus for the homeless kids. He is the guy who every girl feels safe with at any point. He is the guy who believes in spreading love and positivity around him 24/7. He is the guy who finds happiness in visiting the little children living in orphanages and spending some time with them. He is the guy who considers his fans as his family and all their gestures directly touches his heart. He is the guy who wishes the best of things for both his well wishers and not so well wishers. He is the guy who gives unconditionally. He is the guy who strongly believes that love is above all and that an eye for an eye turns the whole world blind. The list keeps growing with time and so does the respect that people have for him.
Always dressed simply yet elegantly, he is the apple of his fan-girls' eyes and is the youth icon of the country. Many youngsters look up to him and find the inspiration that they have always looked for, in him. At the age of 25, he has achieved more than just phenomenal success in his professional life. He has managed to grab the hearts of millions and the blessings of billions.
In the end, he is all that matters because he is the the light to my dark and the strength to my weakness and I will love him till my last breath.

Parth Samthaan, "Shoot for the moon because even if you miss, you will land among the stars!"
.

People ask me, "So, you're Parth's girl?" I reply with a smile, "Through and through!"
