Television actor
Rohan Mehra, who was last seen in the reality show Bigg Boss 10, is all set to play the male lead in
Sasural Simar Ka, reports
The Times Of India. This will be Rohan's second television serial after he quit
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata for
Bigg Boss 10. "Yes, I am going to be a part of
Sasural Simar Ka. After
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata and
Bigg Boss, I wanted to do something different and when
Sasural Simar Ka came my way, I lapped it up immediately since it seems to be a good role and different from the ones I have played so far," Rohan told
TOI.
Earlier in February, actress
Keerti Gaekwad Kelkar replaced Dipika Kakar as Simar in the show. "
Sasural Simar Ka will be changing gears and the focus will now be on the younger generation. Rohan will be seen playing the male protagonist Sameer, who is an NRI from London and his entry will result in a love triangle between him and Simar's (Keerti Gaekwad) daughters Anjali (Vaishali Thakkar) and Sanjana (Krissann Barretto). The makers have decided to introduce the new generation to infuse a new life into this long-running show,"
TOI quoted a source as saying.
Rohan Mehra was the fourth runner-up in
Bigg Boss 10. Karan Mehra, his co-star of
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata, was also a part of the show. Both the actor quit the serial at the same time. Rohan played Naksh, Naitik's (Karan) son in
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata.
Rohan is dating his co-star Kanchi Singh, who currently stars as Gayatri in
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata.
Rohan has also featured in reality shows like
Gumrah: End of Innocence, Yeh Hai Aashiqui and
Webbed 2.
