When Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes walked into our lives as Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay, we knew they had a connection. They not only created an amazing love story on-screen but their off-screen chemistry was also equally loved by their fans. From going on a trip together to standing up for each other, they never fail to set an example for all of us.

In the midst of all this, the duo hasn't yet let the cat out. While many believe that the couple is already in love, on camera Parth and Erica had always denied it. But it is their Instagram feed that tells a rather different tale, and secretly we all hope that this time Anurag-Prerna fall in love in their real life too.
Recently, we got hold of another scoop of their love that openly yells about their chemistry. According to a recent report by Pinkvilla, Parth was spotted taking care of Erica the whole time when she fell sick on the sets of their show. A source informed the website, "Erica wasn't feeling well on the sets around 4 pm and that's when a doctor was called who said that the actress needs some rest. The shooting was called off earlier in the evening so that Erica gets well soon." (Also Read: Madhuri Dixit Reveals How Her Kids React To The Movies She Has Done, Talks About Motherhood)
The source further added, "When the doctor left, Parth was by her side for the whole time, taking care of her. While her co-stars also spent some time with her, Parth made sure he didn't leave her and rests well."
While we might not know whether they are in a relationship, we totally agree they are a perfect example of 'friends like family'. Remember a couple of days ago, on Erica's birthday (May 7, 2019), the couple went on a holiday in the mountains to spend some alone time. And their every picture yells that they are more than just friends. But they aren't yet ready to accept it, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Erica had shared, “It is news to me that such rumours are out there. But, I guess, rumours are a part and parcel of the entertainment industry. I have known Parth since we started working together on our TV show and we shoot every day. We are good friends and have a great working relationship. Whenever we chill together, we have a whole bunch of people with us. When we go for events, we are often leaving from our set, so yes, we do leave together. That doesn’t mean we go home together. In fact, we live in different parts of the city.”

She had further stated, “People believe what they want to believe. We are good friends but we are not dating. I can’t stop them nor can I explain things to everyone. From day one, we got along well. And link-ups are a common occurrence in shows with romantic storylines. It doesn’t bother me as I know the truth and I can’t stop them.”
Earlier, in an interview, Parth had revealed about his bond with Erica, “I remember meeting Erica for the first time on the set. We hit it off right away. Erica and I are around the same age so, it was really easy to get along with her. She is an amazing person and we have a lot of fun in between shots. She is an experienced actress and is multi-talented so I get to learn a lot from her. It's great that our off-screen friendship is translating really well on-screen and viewers are enjoying our on-screen chemistry.”
In another interview, Parth had shared his experience on working with Erica, who was already famous for her acting skills, and had stated, “She’s a wonderful person, when I got to know her. I’ve known her since the past month or so and she’s very sweet and caring. She’s a wonderful actor. It’s not like we have shared a personal connection yet, but we respect each other. I hope that even in the future, we bond like this. There are many other characters in the show who are equally bubbly and co-operative — like the actors playing my parents, my siblings. They’re all jovial and we are bonding just like a family. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like that we are shooting. It’s a fun atmosphere.” (Don't Miss: Priyanka Chopra's Ex-Sis-In-Laws, Ishita Kumar And Kanika Mathur Have Both Become Friends Now)
We totally love Parth and Erica's chemistry and wish their bond stays intact.
