"Even superheroes must brush their teeth" - Parth Samathaan captioned this picture on his Instagram handle, which boasts of 2.2 million followers.

Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan aired from 2014 to 2015. However, after that Parth stayed away from the limelight for almost two years. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Parth went underground keeping away from fans and media.

Parth Samthaan has admitted in the past that he is quite reserved as a person. And this has cost him in some way on his professional front too. "A lot of people — including my fans — tell me that I should be more active on social media. But I can't make random videos to appease people or increase my fan following," said Parth.

Needless to say, Parth Samthaan enjoys a large female fan following. When asked if anyone ever crossed the line, he said, "I have seen girls crying and fainting after meeting me. During a promotional event at a metro station, I remember girls running behind the train to see me."

While in today's times, almost all the celebrities get trolled online, Parth said he doesn't have to face them. "Truth be told, I have fans who have been kind enough to deal with them. I get to know much later that something nasty was said about me," Parth said.

In 2018, Parth Samthaan made a comeback of sorts with the daily soap Kasautii Zindagii Kay and is currently enjoying getting lauded for playing Anurag Basu in the new version of the Ekta Kapoor show.

"I'm really pleased with the response the show is garnering and grateful that viewers are able to connect with me as Anurag. Anurag is an iconic character and there was a huge responsibility to do justice to the character while adding my personal touch to it," he said about his role, which was played by Cezanne Khan in the original version.

Here's wishing a very happy birthday to Parth!
