#Maher Is Winning Hearts on COLORS’ Seher Hone Ko Hai: Parth Samthaan & Rishita Kothari on Their On-Screen Romance

In a world ruled by power, patriarchy, and survival, love becomes an act of resistance! And COLORS’ ‘Seher Hone Ko Hai’ is proving that love, when rooted in emotional truth, can be the most disruptive force of all. What began as a layered family drama is now steadily unfolding into a gripping love story, with romance emerging as the beating heart of the narrative. At the centre of this shift is a fresh, compelling lead pairing of Parth Samthaan as Mahid and Rishita Kothari as Seher.

This romance clicks because of the sharp contrast between its two leads. Mahid is privilege personified, the heir to a powerful family, shaped by authority and emotional restraint. Seher stands at the other end, driven by hope, courage, and a single dream of becoming a doctor to build a better future. They are opposites in every way, yet destiny begins to stitch them together through moments of emotional honesty. Mahid and Seher’s bond builds quietly through stolen glances, hesitant conversations, and silences that speak louder than words. It is this understated, innocent and emotionally charged romance that has struck a chord with audiences, who are rooting for the jodi and have lovingly named them #Maher.

*Speaking about the audience’s overwhelming response, Parth Samthaan shared,* _“Mahid is someone who has been raised to lead, not to feel. He comes from immense privilege, but also from a space where emotional vulnerability was never encouraged. That’s why his connection with Seher isn’t loud; it’s instinctive and very internal. With Rishita, there was an immediate comfort and trust, which allowed us to bring to life that emotional honesty. Many of our most powerful moments aren’t about dialogue at all, but about what Mahid and Seher are processing internally. The fact that audiences are noticing those subtle elements and responding so strongly to #Maher tells me that viewers are truly rooting for this romance.”_

*Rishita Kothari added,* _“Seher brings more moral clarity into Mahid’s world – qualities he has always admired but never fully lived by. Through her, Mahid begins to question the power structures around him and even within himself. Their bond softens him; it unsettles him in the best way. That inner shift is what makes their equation layered and transformative. Seher is stepping into her voice for the very first time, and Mahid becomes a space of emotional safety without ever trying to define, control, or rescue her. That kind of support is rare. Working with Parth makes that dynamic very organic because he brings a lot of sensitivity to every scene. Even when we’re standing in silence, there’s an emotional exchange happening, and I think that’s what viewers are responding to.”_

In the current track Mahid and Seher’s wedding festivities takes place with new twist and turns. With tensions rising and loyalties tested, the fate of #Maher hangs in balance, leaving viewers anticipating what’s next.
