Star Plus is all set to bring a new show titled ‘Chashni’. The story of the show is based on two sisters who turn out to become saas-bahu. Studded with twists and turns, the show grantees nothing but entertainment.

The promo depicts the tale of two sisters who go through an emotional rollercoaster. Amandeep Sidhu who essays the role of Roshni, is a fire fighter in the show, whereas Chandni (Shrishti Singh) is a rebel. One incident alters their entire world, their equation and relationship. Sai Ketan Rao plays the male lead of the show while Sumit Sachdeva will essay the role of Sai’s father and Roshni’s husband.

Sai Ketan Rao was locked for ‘Chashni’ around a year and half back. The actor had to wait for a long time for the show to go on floors and his fans were eagerly waiting to see his glimpse, however, the first promo of the show had Sai missing from the same. India Forums got in conversation with Sai and asked him if it bothered him to be missing from the first promo, banner and his thoughts on being a part of the female protagonist-dominated show. He said, “Well, I received mixed responses from the fans. Few were happy to see me in one of the promos while others were upset. I believe, the show has a lot of scope of performance for me. As an actor, I keep full faith in the makers and channel. Unfortunately, television is a medium where the story of the show changes every week because of the TRPs. It is a sad state but we have to accept it”.

Sai admits getting lured by other offers that came his way while he patiently waited for the show to go on floors, he said, “I got offers from across all mediums. There were meaty characters for OTT as well. However, I believe that I shouldn’t go back on my words after I commit a producer and give him a nod about a project unless it is a terrible situation. Hence, I patiently waited for the show to begin and not back out.”
