Anokhi belongs to the lower middle class Mehra family while the male lead Tushar belongs to the affluent Mallik family. Anokhi’s role is being essayed by Ishani Sharma, a fresh face from Himachal Pradesh who gave up engineering to follow her passion for acting. Joining Ishani is Varun Toorky as Tushar. The show features an ensemble cast with veteran actors Sudhir Pandey and Abha Parmar in key roles. The show is produced by Suzana Ghaiof Panorama Productions. Ishani, who is making her debut with the show says, “I’m nervous yet excited to enter this industry. I’m playing the character of Anokhi whose thoughts are reflective of today’s generation so I can completely connect with her. Her character is very edgy and unique, her philosophy and beliefs are very different from what is seen on Hindi GEC and that is what attracted me to this role. Despite being a newcomer, the channel and the producers have displayed immense faith in me and I consider myself extremely lucky to make my debut with India’s favourite channel” Sharing her thoughts about the concept, producer Suzana Ghai said, “Anokhi’s character has been on my mind for very long time and I have been working to get just the right characteristics and nuances in place. I am extremely happy that we are finally able to bring this distinctive and unusual character alive who is in many ways the face of today’s youth. The entire team, especially the actors have worked very hard and we are looking forward to presenting Anokhi to the viewers."
