Paras Kalnawat has confirmed that he is making his OTT comeback with Campus Beats season 6. The series, streaming on Amazon MX Player, features another TV actor-dancer Shantanu Maheshwari in the lead role. Paras’ last OTT outing was Ishq Aaj Kal, which is streaming on Zee5 (OTTplay Premium). "This is my first OTT show after Ishq Aaj Kal, which was in 2019. As an actor, I look forward to working in every medium," Paras told Variety India. Although he is open to all medium for work, Paras also debated how the Hindi film industry has a bias towards TV actors.

Comparing the work to Hollywood, he shared, "There are so many film stars in Hollywood who work in TV series. No one looks down on them. They are treated with as much respect. Acting is acting at the end of it. In India, there is a certain barrier against TV actors. It is good to see them get work on OTT projects and same kind of respect,"
