Shervin Roohparvar Opens Up About Joining The “Shahs Of Sunset” Cast

For the most part, the Shahs of Sunset cast has stayed pretty much the same since the beginning. Sure, there has a been a rotating spot for that additional cast member every season, but Lilly Ghalichi and Asifa Mirza just didn’t fit in.

On the other hand, Shervin Roohparvar really is a natural fit for the cast, so I don’t get why he wasn’t on the show sooner. Maybe he just was hesitant to join the cast? He’s had genuine relationships with the other Shahs for years now, so it only makes sense for him to be a part of the show.

In an interview with Review Journal, Shervin opened up about why he joined Shahs of Sunset. Fans of the show know that Sherv appeared here and there on Season 4 as a friend of the cast, but he finally made the jump to being an official member of the cast during Season 5.

Shervin explained how it all went down: “They were casting. I was actually in Season 4, a secondary character. The casting director and I had a mutual friend, and they wanted different, interesting people for Season 5. My name came up, and I jumped along the casting process along with 900 people. I don’t know what they found so interesting about me!”

So was Shervin dying to be a reality TV star? No, not really. Shervin admitted, “I didn’t know if I wanted to do it because I was from the tech industry and had no clue about the entertainment world and the casting scene experience in and of itself. But then they made me an offer, and one thing led to another.”

Shervin confirmed that he will be back for Season 6 of Shahs of Sunset, “I’m really excited to get back into it. It’s been a hell of a ride. When I chose to take the offer, I thought to myself not everyone gets this opportunity. I’ve watched television my whole life, so getting to know the other side of the screen interested me, the mechanics.”

Even though Shervin has had close ties to the house for a while, being on TV was not easy for him at first. Shervin said, “It’s a lot of fun. In Season 4, I remember being nervous, like, ‘Can they hear my heartbeat?'” But things got easier for Shervin with time and he felt like he was ready to be a full time member of the cast. “With Season 5, I couldn’t wait to do it. I felt better about it. It was still challenging, but you feel more and more comfortable with your cast mates and the production crew. You become you truer self.”

I’m happy that Shervin is a part of the cast. He’s hilarious, a straight shooter, and doesn’t stir shit up out of desperation. Hopefully he continues to keep it real and doesn’t get caught up in the attention that comes from being on reality TV.
