Choti Sarrdaarni is a show which has consistently managed to stay in the news. The narrative is captivating and has kept the viewers hooked on to it. Now the makers of the show have decided on the actor, who will play the lead opposite Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia after the leap will take place. Mahir Pandhi, a model-turned-actor, who has been a part of web shows will play the role. Post the leap, Nimrit Ahluwalia, who portrays Meher in the show, will play her own daughter, the grown-up Seher.
A source close to the production house informed BT and said, “Nimrit and Mahir will be paired together. Mahir looks the part and is best suited for the role. He has done a few web shows and will lend freshness to the cast and story. Since, the show has taken a 20 year leap, many changes have taken place and we wanted a fresh new face for the lead role. Leaps are planned to bring newness to a TV show. Many TV shows in the past have taken leaps, so that the story can progress forward and it can be more entertaining for audiences.”
Meanwhile, Avinesh Rekhi, who plays the role of Sarabjit Singh Gill, and Anita Raaj will be parting ways from the show. In February itself we saw a leap of 5 years and some faces will now be bidding adieu. Aekam Binjwe will play the grown-up Param Singh Gill. As reported by BT, Puneet Issar and Rinku Dhawan joined the cast last month.
