Susheel Parasher Brings Wisdom and Warmth as Dadu in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

Susheel Parasher, with immense experience in Indian television, is currently winning audiences with his grounded and graceful portrayal of Dadu in the long-running Star Plus show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Backed by Rajan Shahi’s creative vision, the serial continues to evolve with time, and Parasher’s entry as the wise grandfather adds a fresh emotional layer to the narrative.

Known for his tranquil screen presence and thoughtful portrayals, Susheel Parasher brings more than just acting skills—he brings lived experience and a deep understanding of human emotion. Reflecting on his character, he shares, “Dadu—my character—is someone who, despite his age, is extremely intuitive. He understands human psychology and knows how to connect with the younger generation. He’s positive, grounded, and comes with a lifetime of experience.”

While the veteran remains tight-lipped about the unfolding plot, he teases an emotionally rich turn involving his character’s quiet support in a key relationship arc. “I really can't comment about the track, as it depends on the writer. But in the current situation, Dadu knows that the happiness quotient would increase if Gitanjali and Armaan got married. And Maira would also receive her motherly love forever.”

Even after so many years in front of the camera, Parasher continues to treat every role with fresh eyes. “When I was offered the role, I was quite excited. But I don’t take pressure. I focus only on the scene and the performance—everything else automatically unfolds.” He adds, “It’s like how they say: better to concentrate and focus on your batting, not on the score.”

That philosophy clearly works for him. Parasher’s presence in the show has already added a sense of warmth and authenticity, reflecting his ease with layered characters. He also humbly attributes the show’s growing popularity to collective effort and divine grace.

His journey with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is more than just another role; it’s a new chapter. Parasher is full of gratitude for the opportunity to work with a production house known for its family-centric storytelling. In a show that thrives on relationships and evolving family dynamics, Susheel Parasher’s Dadu is not merely a supporting character—he’s the glue that binds generations. His thoughtful presence and quiet wisdom resonate deeply with viewers, reminding us that age is not a barrier to relevance but a pathway to grace.

As the story progresses, all eyes are on Dadu, not only for his dialogues, but for the way he listens, observes, and steers the family gently toward togetherness.
