Amol Parashar, who features in `Feels Like Ishq`, says the Netflix anthology is his attempt to work with new people and gain fresh perspective

`Feels Like Ishq`, Netflix’s upcoming anthology of love stories, has an emotional connect with its actors. The project is Seher Aly Latif’s final production before her untimely demise in June. When we get on a call with Amol Parashar, we start our chat remembering Latif. “I had known her as a casting director, having auditioned with her for years. Seher and I hadn’t worked together till this project came along. After she passed away, I was going through our texts; she had sent a text, saying, ‘We are finally working together.’ It makes me sad that she isn’t here to see what we have done together.”
In the anthology, Parashar stars alongside Radhika Madan in Save The Da(y)te, which is directed by Ruchir Arun. It’s safe to say that `Feels Like Ishq`, with its breezy treatment, is home turf for the actor. “When OTT started off in India, such light-hearted shows [were churned out] to captivate young audiences. Thereafter, [content creators switched gears] to full-blown crime and heartland stories. I want to dabble in crime dramas in the near future, but these tender stories have a way of warming your heart. For me, this project was also a way of moving out of my own circuit. On every project, I bump into people I know. But with `Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare` and `Feels Like Ishq`, it was a new world waiting to offer fresh experiences and a fresh perspective.”
