CID sleuth, Jasmine, turns journo!

Sushmita Daan seems to have made it a habit of portraying strong independent characters and she will continue the trend in Aroona Irani's new show, tentatively titled, Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai. Sushmita will play, Arundhati, a television journalist in the show.

"She's an absolute go getter, always looking for some exciting news! Arundhati will be tracking the Jaisingh family (comprising the protagonists) and try to expose them. It's her constant aim to find out about the family's personal life and businesses!" says a visibly excited Sushmita, who's best remembered for playing Mithi in Neena Gupta'a Saans and Jasmine in CID Special Bureau.

Sushmita, who has shot her first schedule with the show, is looking forward to resume working for the show next month. "I love working with Aroonaji. My dad has worked with her as an art director in Gujarati films and I know her since childhood. So it's great to work with her. As far as the cast is concerned, I know Sachin from my CID days and even Kiran Kumar is a great actor to work with," says Sushmita.

The show also stars Nikhil Arya and Pallavi Kulkarni in the lead. The show, a weekly, will be aired on Sony in May.
