Samir
Onkar,
who
plays
the
role
of
Samarth
Goenka
in
Yeh
Rishta
Kya
Kehlata
Hai,
has
resumed
work
after
a
gap
of
seven
months.
The
actor
will
be
seen
re-entering
the
show
and
will
be
seen
in
a
new
look.
Regarding
his
role
and
new
look,
Samir
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"I
love
my
character,
Samarth,
he
has
a
lot
of
shades
within,
so
the
expectations
are
always
high.
I
have
changed
my
look
a
little.
The
lockdown
gave
me
a
chance
to
experiment
with
different
looks
at
home.
Finally,
I
chose
to
go
with
this
one
where
my
hair
is
a
little
longer.
I'm
hoping
it
looks
nice
onscreen."
On
returning
back
to
the
sets
and
the
pandemic,
the
actor
said,
"After
returning
to
the
sets,
I
felt
like
my
life
was
getting
back
on
track.
I
was
not
apprehensive
of
going
back
to
shoot
because
in
my
opinion
if
we
take
adequate
precautions
like
wearing
masks,
using
sanitisers,
exercising
and
eating
healthy,
we
need
not
worry
too
much
about
COVID-19.
It
is
obvious
that
we
have
to
stay
alert
about
how
grim
the
situation
is,
but
I
think
if
we
keep
ourselves
safe,
then
there
shouldn't
be
a
problem."
When
asked
how
he
spent
his
time
during
lockdown,
Samir
said
that
the
lockdown
was
a
time
to
learn
new
things,
and
he
also
got
a
chance
to
do
so
many
things
that
he
couldn't
do
in
the
last
few
years
because
of
lack
of
time.
