The first guy who played him was called Jeetu Malkani. He is Sonu & Varun's biological son, but he was raised by Shruti & Sameer as their own. He was initially a very quiet person, introspective, kind to the family, loving son, brother etc etc. He wanted to be a writer like his Parvati nani. He met a publisher called Mallishka, with whom he fell in love. His first book was a failure, because Trishna (Choti Nani) orchestrated the failure so that he would join the family business. Maithili was in love with him but he didn't know it, until Mallishka blurted it out. Maithili and Pranay got married, but on their wedding night, he was told by Trishna that he was not Shruti & Sameer's son, but Sonu & Varun's. This changed his perspective towards his whole family and he left Maithili and brought Mallishka back into the house, and lived with her, even though he was married. He also brought Parvati's enemy, Rajeshwari Mehra into the house and basically turned evil.
Soon he realised the error of his ways, threw Mallishka out and wanted to go back to Maithili. By this time, Maithili was in love with Adi, and when Pranay found this out, he raped her in a fit of anger.
The actor changed about here - Pranay was now played by Raja Sen. After a long court case, Pranay was sent to jail, where he has been since.
